U21 final is on channel 4.
Can anyone actually afford to sign Mbappe?
I would guess that there's only Real Madrid, Man City and Man Utd (depending on the takeover happening) that could possibly afford to buy him and even then I guess it depends on what transfer fee PSG want to get for him. A free transfer next year when there's only wages to consider might bring a couple of other clubs into the reckoning but if you're looking at close to £150 million for the transfer fee and then £50+ million a year in wages on top it limits the options.

But do they? Selling him, much like Messi leaving, is an admission they won’t compete at the very top in a sustained manner. The club is a vanity piece for the owners and losing him is the absolute worst thing for that vanity piece. The money (whether he is sold or goes for free) is irrelevant really.It’s PSG that want to sell at all costs though. I don’t think anyone’s paying 150 for him when they’re basically over a barrel and he walks for nothing next year. May be proven wrong but they’ve been too vocal about it to be charging that!
I thought they all looked talented and played well. Exception was Madueke (had to google him) who came on and never won (or really fought for) a challenge on a long ball and didn't impress me at all.
It was a great mature performance from them all - and in the face of some nasty provocations from the Spaniards , they did well to keep their heads
Still a bit shocked how Gordon was player of the tournament- Jones and Collwill were head and shoulders above him
England deserved that, keeper has been excellent the whole tournament, although I've just seen highlights apart from the final.
I personally don't think thats a penalty anyway so probably a bit of justice there.
Can see Colwill getting game time under Pochettino.
On another note, I'm seen De Gea has left Manchester United.
Can only assume they have the Inter keeper tied up.
You’re really reaching if you think that claiming Man City having the resources to produce fantastic youth players is in some way evidence against your owners sports washing their way to success.Not bad that City are killing football and have four academy kids with a winners medal
That said if you have not conceded in six games, you deserve it.
