Neymar, Benzema, Griezmann, Bale?

Before that, Henry, Rooney, Aguero, Lewandowski, Robinho.

All tipped as breakthrough superstars, all coming along like buses, all the same.

Sorry, Neymar aside, I don't remember people talking about any of those as the next messi/ronaldo level of player. The next Ibrahimovic maybe, at best, even then, more than half of those not even that.

To some extent you are largely right, another kid could break onto the scene any point. Might even be delap, who knows. Doesn't change the fact that what Mbappe and Haaland are doing now and how quickly they have got there from a young stage is way above anyone else.

You are arguably right, but that doesn't stop them improving us. Kane is better than a player who barely featured last season and doesn't play for us any more.

Its like saying Walker didn't improve us because he wasn't as good as prime Zabba, or Dias didn't improve us because he wasn't as good as prime Kompany.
As ove said before...its not about replacing Aguero of last season...nearly anyone would be better than a player that hardly played....its about replacing the Aguero of the previous 7-9 seasons.

Walker has been better than Zabba in my opinion and Dias could be as good as Kompany (but has to prove it over a long long period and there is a long way to go for that to happen but his impact has been huge at present).
 
Agree totally.

We are already clear odds-on favourites to win the title before either/both of Kane and Grealish

Liverpool and Chelsea about 4s and United 7s.
We'll be starting Odds on Favorites no matter which teams sign whatever players. Even if Chelsea sign Erling & the Rags sign Kane & Grealish. The only question is how short will we start if it's us who end up signing One or two of these players.
 
No...

Grealish isnt as good as Bernardo, David Silva, KDB, Foden or even Gundogan, Sane, Mahrez

Kane isnt as good as prime Aguero

All imho of course.
Pep will improve Kane and Grealish as players,which in turn will improve us as a unit,imo.
Should they sign,who knows how he'll use them.

That list of players were also some of the best in the world at given points. You'd be thrilled if your random dime a dozen "wonderkids" turned into any of those guys.
