If they want to fit them both of them in they could play 2 up front or put Aubameyang on the wing.
When they had Ibra they played him centrally and Cavani out wide, which he complained a lot about.

Who plays second fiddle? I'd say not the player that has just cost 70m.

I really don't see it as a problem at all. Cavani/Auba is a lot more flexible than Ibra/Cavani. They can swap spots several times during the match.

Mbappe has given City a dose of the snubbles and is set to move to Real. 130m euros bid by both clubs. New record fee.
130m and knocked back. Surprised Mansour didn't up the bid again to 150m odd, 20m is a drop in the ocean for them.

We look to have sold Enes Unal for around £10m to Villareal, £15m buyback included in the deal.

Had a great year in the Eredivisie, but doesn't qualify for a UK work permit apparently. Would prefer a loan, but sales/loans back seem to be the new thing nowadays.

What would be the point (other than you taking yet another opportunity to let everyone know that our owner has lot's of money).

If Mbappe chose Madrid over us (presuming the gossip is true) it wouldn't matter what we offered Monaco.

Nice edits too.

I'd imagine Monaco would much prefer to sell Mbappe to you guys for 200m as opposed to 130m to Real. It's not just up to the player.

No-one can force a player to move to a particular club. But it's a bit silly anyway, why would we pay more than we think a player is worth just because we have money?
