Maybe that is where we differ as I don't anywhere near think Mbappe is close to being a top player let alone to be considered in the same bracket as Neymar. Is he a very talented young player with all the attributes to someday become a top one? yes but currently I wouldn't class him as one yet on the back of 1 season in the french league. There's been young players who've looked very talented in their breakthrough seasons and not gone on to do much since though admittedly very few have shown it at the champions league level. At this point we will be going in circles as we clearly have different views on his level as a player so let's just agree to disagree on that
How "convenient"! ;)Yeah, the comment you are replying to was posted on sunday
No, it would mean Iheanacho and Nolito out.
It is. There is definitely one "extra" player in there so if Aguero is definitely staying we aren't getting both.Sané, Sterling, Jesus, Aguero, Sanchez and Mbappé in one squad is a fantasy.

If we signed Sánchez, along with Sergio and Jesus, Sane......Mbappe would be begging for minutes in whatever the Mickey mouse cup is called next season.
I thought the same earlier in his career but I honestly think he'd take it by storm now(see Hazard, then think of how much more skilful Neymar is), if you don't think La Liga is physical enough(we go over the top with that IMO) you only need to watch him at international level he's got lots of fight in him. We're not getting Neymar though not without breaking the bank, he's worth too much commercially.Not picking a fight but Neymar could equally struggle in the prem
Nolito was not even on the bench against Watford so that argument does not stand. You should ask yourself who out of the current starting 11 drops out because Mbappe or Sanchez would start. And if they would not, why buy them. Without question, any top class forward would take Aguero's place as Sane and Jesus are not going to be dropped.No, it would mean Iheanacho and Nolito out.
7 subs doesn't seem enough in today's game, I really think they need to increase the amount of subs on the bench by at least 1 and allow two subs per half(1 carried over). I wonder where Pep would use the extra man:Nolito was not even on the bench against Watford so that argument does not stand.

I can't see any move for Sanchez or Mbappe unless there is a big name departure.

GK - goes without saying you need one, what I never get is when I see two keepers warming up when the number 1 gets injured... does that mean they used two spots for keepers?
Defence - two full backs one cb?
Midfield - we know how much he likes midfielders.
Attack - being able to rotate both wingers and the striker would be great for us.
