I don't know how you make that out. Two outstanding young forwards but I don't think I would swap jesus for any player in the world given his age. That includes Mbappe.From the few games I saw of Gabriel Jesus and Mbappe, I think Mbappe is way ahead of Jesus.
Maybe Jesus will turn out to be the better player, but until now Mbappe is the best young forward in the world.

Amazing player but where the hell would we play him, we really dont need a striker who HAS to play every week we have enough in Jesus and Kun.
I think the benches at the Etihad are better maintained than that.Yeah, you don't pay over £100 million for a player to have him sat on the bench getting splinters in his arse!
I'd think if we get him we'd drop our interest in SanchezI don't think we can reasonably accommodate Aguero, Sanchez and Mbappe whilst giving enough game time to them, as well as Sterling, Sane and Jesus. All 6 would want to play in the majority of games and that's not possible.
Therefore, I think we'll get two of the three. Either Khaldoon's making up stories for reasons I can't understand and Kun's looking to leave or, more realistically, Mbappe is seen as an alternative if Alexis stays at Arsenal or goes to Bayern.
Aguero, Jesus, Sane, Sterling, Roberts, Iheanacho + B Silva and de Bruyne that can play in a front 3. Just how many do we need up front?
I m sorry, but that is a perfect squad. It's impossible to keep all those players happy and develop the youngsters as well. I would rather give Iheanacho more playing time than buying Mbappe.We want 2 quality players per position. I suspect Roberts will be loaned out and Iheanacho sold. If we were to get all of our supposed targets (extremely unlikely), we could have for example:
Central striker - Aguero and Mbappe
Left sided attacker/winger - Sanchez and Sane
Right sided attacker/winger - Sterling and Jesus
2 creative players ahead of the DM/pivot - Gundogan, Silva x 2, KDB
DM/Pivot - Yaya and Fernandinho
RB - Walker and Fernandinho
LB - Mendy and Kolarov
CB - Stones, Otamendi, Kompany and Laporte
GK - Bravo and Ederson
Problem is that this leaves us with 18 foreign players by my reckoning. So in the unlikely event that we got all of those signings, we'd have to replace one of them with a HG player (most likely Kolarov or Bravo I would have thought) and it still doesn't allow us to bring in a new DM like Fabinho unless there is a decent HG one knocking about.

I read that neither Everton or West Ham agrees with buy-back clause. So let s see.Iheanacho is gone bud.

This. And then some.I don't know how you make that out. Two outstanding young forwards but I don't think I would swap jesus for any player in the world given his age. That includes Mbappe.

We can t have all the great players in the world. But I do think Iheanacho will go on to be a better player than Mbappe. The rags think Rashford is better than Mbappe, and Iheanacho is twice the player Rashford is. So why wouldn't we give him a full season(not 5 min every 2 games) before shipping him out?It's what we seem to be aiming for given the rumours. Obviously it's Guardiola's job to keep them all happy and make sure they get enough game time. With injuries, suspensions, successful cup runs and some taking a while to settle, it shouldn't be impossible for one season and after that a few of our older players such as Yaya and Kolarov will probably be leaving anyway to make some room for academy players coming through.
I certainly wouldn't choose Iheanacho over Mbappe. Iheanacho is a very good player but Mbappe is on a different level and I believe is destined to be a great.
