Haaland or Mbappé

Haaland and Ansu Fati should have been interessesting.

A lot of those are not really plus points.

Why am I supposed to care if Mbappe can play across the front 3? We already have more wingers than we can use and Jesus might end up there.

Why do I care if he's fouled more often or makes dribbles? No one is picking the next striker on his passing %.

The only thing that matters is if the striker is technically good enough to fit in the side (Obviously both are, or they wouldn't be real targets) and if they are going to put the ball in the back of the net 45 times a season.

We don't need more assists from our striker. We don't need better passing %. We just need someone to convert chances into goals.

Yes I agree, need to score goals and be technically good enough. But the thread is about whose better. They're similar in terms of goals.

I think we've seen from Pep that he wants more from his players to fit his philosophy. Like our goalkeeping and defenders being playmakers, not just defending.

Passing does matter in our side and has done for a long time. We're number one in Europe for possession for a reason. We've also got the 3rd highest dribbling in the PL, highest of the top teams, for a reason.

Why wouldn't you want you striker to score goals and set more up? Best of both worlds. Being able to be versatile with your game is also a Pep thing, i'e Cancello, KDB playing upfront etc etc.

And if Haaland couldn't do that we wouldn't be interested. But we are, so we already know he's good enough in that area of the game.

Yeah theres no doubt he is, he could be amazing for us. But at this moment in time Mbappe just has a far better all round game and he's done a lot more in the game.

I personally think we have a much better chance of getting Haaland. But I'd prefer Mbappe at this stage.

Each to their own though. Most people on here wanted Pogba over KDB many years ago.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but Mbappe seems to have a lot of injury problems, which would make sense given he is so fast but not really physical like, for instance, Kyle Walker. Haaland just seems like the guy we need, but Mbappe fits the system better in that he can play across all 3 spots.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Both.

Not that I think he's attainable or that we would be in for him but Mbappe for me. The side lacks pace, he would give us that in abundance and I feel he and jesus would alternate between playing upfront and from the left very nicely with both bringing different attributes to each position on a game by game basis.

It's all about the team with Pep, and mbappe gives the side more options. Haaland is electric too and seems like the more natural goalscorer which we do lack and on paper might seem the more obvious choice but we all know Pep needs more from his players.
