as a club going forward I would prefer to get fabinho and VVD mate. yeah without question mbappe is a huge talent but will he progress to the ultimate best? because for £120m plus he needs to be beyond brilliant every game! if we get sanchez and keep Sergio then alongside sane, jesus and raheem then we already have lods of options? being fed by merlin, the apprentice, the ginger prince and gundogan then we are well stacked! if we then added walker, VVD, fabinho, mendy alves and Bertrand then wow! a squad to fight for 4 trophies!

Absolutely spot on. Defensive signings tend not to be seen as exciting by the average fan, but signing the players you mention would make us serious contenders for the big trophies this season and are the absolute top priority.

I wouldn't swop jesus or sane for anyone mate and I feel they need to keep playing as much as possible. I really want sanchez here and Sergio is an obvious keep. we really need that defence makeover that has been required for a couple of years now. we have added bernardo silva already and the keeper situation is now also sorted so get the fullbacks, a top centre back and fabinho and we are up there with the best.
 
Is anyone watching Germany vs Australia? Leon Goretzka is the deal. Last year of contract we should sign him before Bayern land him for a free deal.
 
Sky linking us to the Ox now. If Guardiola sees him as a potential fullback, it wouldn't be a terrible idea. got the attributes he wants, it's whether he's capable to adapting and whether he wants to.

And yet I can see the club's strategy. They want to be THE dominant club in the world. The one every major young player wants to sign for. Getting the single biggest wonderkid in world football cements that. And in doing so, the club creates a pulling power that will make a lot of other future deals much likely.

Purely in terms of building a team I agree, I'd rather have a CB and DM for that money. But to build the club, you want Mbappe.

No for me, he's nowhere near good enough for us, even if he may have stagnated a tad at Arsenal. I don't think his ceiling is anywhere near the level we need.

Right this second maybe but wonder kids come and go. This year's Mbappe is last years Sanches or Dembele.

I just have this feeling that Monaco was the absolute perfect platform for Mbappe in every way and even us and Real can't match the scenarios he enjoyed right now. He'd be under more pressure, with higher quality opponents and without a suddenly break-out young team and a rejuvenated former best forward in the world to take up the slack.

It was the perfect storm this season for him and who knows if it will be next.
