Haaland or Mbappé

[kun]

He is a Hollywood player. Given he is already at the zenith of French football, that means Spain...where the sun shines and the money is good!

He wants Real Madrid. If they want him, I think they will get him.

This is how I see it, but if it becomes a choice to go for Haaland or Mbappé it has to be Mbappé IMO.

It's a no brainer who has more to their game.

1. Mbappe goal scoring record is very similar to Halland
2. Mbappe gets more assists
3. Mbappe makes more key passes
4. Mbappe makes almost twice as many overall passes per game on average
5. Mbappe successful pass completion % is better
6. Mbappe makes more successful dribbles
7. Mbappe is fouled more often
8. Mbappe can play anywhere across the front three including the wings, and has been played in attacking midfield too, Halland is primarily a centre forward
9. Mbappe has already had experience playing in major games, such as WC, UCL final, and he's won the league every year of his professional career

It's not close. And today was another reminder why. Mbappe is head and shoulders better.

People coming out the woodwork now he had a good game vs a shite Barca.. Haaland still the choice.

In fairness he didn't play against the following todsy:

Juventus - Man City - Liverpool - Man United - Bayern - Dortmund - Real Madrid

So whatever you think ir don't think I'd today. The above list even excluding in today, suggest he is anything but a flat track bully.

Light years ahead of every young player out there.

Mbappe is certainly the most dynamic inside left in modern football. However, it looks like Haaland might be both less trouble in, and more suited to, Manchester.

If Mbappe ever came to the PL, it would be for United or Arsenal, IMHO. He would prefer the Big Smoke, and it’s ridiculously easy access to Paris, but the lure (although it has long since lost it luster in my view) of Manchester United might possibly tempt him to “Up north!”

While we might think we are the best team, best coach, best facilities, etc., once you are a £100M footballer, it JS the niceties in life, WHILE playing for a top club that regularly wins things, that attracts you.

Monaco...Paris...Manchester???

Just don’t see it for Mbappe, even though we are one of only a handful of clubs that could afford him.

He'll go to Real Madrid once they get rid of Hazard. Lock this thread.

A fun armchair exercise, but I'd be delighted (and surprised) if we got either.

 

[Matt the Giant]

As we tend to sign personality and character, and not only quality and potential, Haaland seems to be more fitting for us and the one I would rather see us go for.

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

HAALAND, good with both feet, decent header of the ball, pacy, not just a goal poacher and he's still a youngster. Nice family connection to the club means we may not get fucked over my agents - gets my vote but I'd also have Mbappe

Why not Harland and Mbappe?
