Kylian Mbappé | Real Madrid Player (pg620)

[Tugay One Cup]

we're never getting him from million different reasons. He already rejected Manchester, PSG would never sell, specially not to us, we're not going to spend the money needed for it, both transferwise and wagewise, Madrid would be the one.. you guys are just torturing yourself hoping.

Mbappe is the new Messi and by that I mean it will never happen and people will still hold out hope every transfer window. We don't do those types of signings.

Mbappe wants to play centrally, he is sick of being shoved out wide for Cavani or whoever. That imo was his comment on having more responsibility. The comment in whole was simply a way of making PSG hierarchy get the message, along with a hint he wants more cash.

I have listened to this fella speak, he is not a stupid kid. He knows his options and the dynamics in world footy well. He has a hard desire to make his own history so whilst not being averse to moving to Real he does seem genuine in his desire to win the CL with anyone with a chance (preferably French as he seems rather patriotic). They do not have to be one of the grand old names of european footy for him. If PSG are going to pay him more which i believe they will he will be pretty content i would assume.

In Pep's incredible Barca team I did not see Messi tracking back too much, did not seem to bother Pep either.

Mbappe has all the skill set to be as good as Messi

Not true.
Mbappé is a very different kind of player and does not have the skill set to be as good as Messi.
He can be more successful in terms of trophies at the end of his career but the best he can be is Cristiano Ronaldo level (scores a lot and can carry his team along but not the play making of Messi).

 

[Parisian]

He's probably the most athletic forward in the world and could be easily incorporated into Pep's pressing system.

Messi, who always had a weak stamina, pressed very effectively under Guardiola.

Correct. And immediately switched to a 'walking prima donna' mode once Pep was gone. Compare his game in 10-12 and 12-13 - it's night and day.

Mbappé defensive contribution is one of his weaknesses with headers, and shot selection (does not score a lot of curve goals or chips).

 

[Parisian]

Feels like when we sign another great striker it would def be before his profile has really broke this high. But you never know.

PSG is not selling.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Ridiculous player.

Genuine explosions in my keks if we signed him.

Can’t see it though tbh as it really doesn’t fit our model to smash 200m on one player.

We’re more likely to be looking for the ‘next’ Mbappe from some unheard of team for £20m.

 

[Parisian]

Think it's been said he wants to play as the 9 (see ya Cavani) and doesn't want anymore Brazilian's signed. I imagine he'd want equal pay with Neymar. Can only see this ending with one of them leaving in the next 12 months, as Neymar loves bringing his Brazilian pals in.

The insiders and media are saying he wants to be a leader like Neymar. Which means parity or close on wages and wants the club to listen to the players he wants. He was involved personally when we almost signed de Jong. He wants Ndombélé. And maybe Pepe.
And of course, he wants to be the main striker and not be behind Cavani for penalty kicks because he wants his golden boot and other awards.

 

[BlueMoonie]

Pep rules out griezmann as too expensive yet we are talking about mbappe..... why even bite

 

[waspish]

Possible swap for Bale plus cash?

Maybe to cover Bale wages

I'd argue we should be there sniffing about. If his contract runs down then so does the price. If not this summer then next would be perfect.

Lets get it right if mbappe said he wants us and psg are willing to deal then city would make it happen a lot of ifs and buts though

We should I agree mate.

Absolutely off the scale how good he is.

We were interested in Thiago Almada from Velez a couple of weeks ago for 20m. The source is very reliable. Have seen a couple videoes of him since, and he looks like a big talent

The ONLY WAY this happens is if Sane is out the door. Even then it's a long shot.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I can’t even imagine how good he’d be in this City team. We’ll never see him in a City shirt, but I can dream.

 

[Tevez City]

Swap Sane for Mbappe

 

[ninjamonkey]

Fee would be astronomical, surely no chance we can afford him and the other rebuilding that needs to happen this summer. No team in the world would say no to him whatever the cost if it were genuinely an option though. Sadly, I don’t see a world where it is an option. I also don’t think we would utilise him to his full potential, his pace is his biggest asset, he would be best suited to a counter attacking side rather than a team who face brick walls every game.

 

[Manc in London]

He sounds like a pain in the arse. player However, a fabulous player with the potential to be Balon d'Or winner

 

[Parisian]

Swap Sane for Mbappe

Not talking about respective talent but, at the moment, there is a great discrepancy in their respective value in the market.

For once Mbappé has been bought 180 M. Since PSG has to do a big benefice (not that they are selling), you have to offer way more than this value. Sane is not worth 180 M this day due to his contract and his situation (not starter) at City. Mbappé is also an household name that can draw attention and sponsors. Not Sané.

Mourinho has recently said that Mbappé is prolly the most expensive player right now. And since i watch them play every time, Neymar is way way better than him at the moment.

 

[TonyM]

Is take Bappé or Mappé but never Mbappé.
