"Long time" depends on your age)) I've tried to tell that you'd better use more educated arguments, as many people here have seen it all and don't percieve Mbappe's emergence as a second coming like you. Please, prove your point better.You mean 25 years ago? That's not "a long time" ? Aren't we talking about someone who became the greatest 9 of all time? :)
Long story very short: No.not to be that guy, but have there even been any indications that the player wants to leave the club this summer?
Pep called his dad (agent) last summer. Ric confirmed we made a massive bid and that it was rejected. Think that means he's willing. 'Wants' might be a different thing.not to be that guy, but have there even been any indications that the player wants to leave the club this summer?
If Sterling and Sane play often as wingbacks then all 5 start.My only concern with this transfer is how does he fit in to the starting 11 with gabi Jesus?
If we ended the summer with sterling, sane, Sanchez, gabi Jesus and mbappe as up front options I'm just concerned having 4 young forwards who need to be played regularly and can't would end up in stunting the growth of them all.

It would also mean no fixed positions and a fluid front three, which would be mind bending for defenders with their movement.Pep has said that Sane has played too much recently, both him and Sterling have looked jaded at times. A consequence of Jesus's injury. That's the dilemna, five players competing for three places might be one too many if they're all available. But if we only have four and one picks up a long term injury it can result in an excessive workload for the other three.
The beauty of having Sanchez, Jesus & possibly Mbappe would be that they can all play wide or in the middle which means that the permutations available to Pep would be so much greater. More opportunities to rotate them, keep them fresh but involved.
Mbappe could do 4/5 years with us and Pep and still get his Madrid or Barca move in his early 20's if he felt the need.
Incredible talent and i hope we can get this done.
We should try and work something out with Madrid, sell them Aguero now (if it happens) and then sign Mbappe. Then once he gets to like 25/26 Mbappe gets his RM move
Its exactly the type of discussions that goes on behind the scenes imo.
Eh?!? Physically Mbappe looks like one player from a completely different sport and Jesus resembles another. Therefore, one will clearly be better because he will read the game better.It's obvious that based on their physiques Mbappppe is the Future Lebron James of the game and Gabriel Jesus is the MJ.
Which one is better?
MJ all day.
A better comparison would actually just be the plain old Ronaldo to Messi comparison.
Mbappe looks like pure force and raw talent that will overpower you with some real tasty passes here and there.
GJ will see the game better than the people around him and come up with a plan. Then he will use his technique to execute said plan to a tee and accomplish his goal by using his teammates and his brain.
In the end they both accomplish their goal it just depends what method you respect more.

If we're in a situation in 4 or 5 years where Madrid can take our best players, then something has gone badly wrong along the way.We should try and work something out with Madrid, sell them Aguero now (if it happens) and then sign Mbappe. Then once he gets to like 25/26 Mbappe gets his RM move
