Kylian Mbappe

Madrid is the dream for most as a kid but the pressure of going there with that fee, the constant media at training and the fans who flip on their own after one bad game could be too much for him - especially after just 1 full season under his belt.

On the other hand he could find peace here, with a team filled with young attacking talent, two friends (if Mendy signs), a hugely successful manager who develops players and all the tools he needs to take his all round game to the next level.

My view (probably unpopular) is we're the best place for him because should he continue at the rate he did last season, there is no reason why he can't realise his dream of playing for Madrid in a few years given they are happy to pay big bucks when they want their man (see Ronaldo and Bale)

Coming to City makes absolute sense on so many levels. I wouldn't be surprised at all if ended up here before the window closes.
 
Mbappe has the attributes to be able to play wide i'd say, much like Pep had Henry doing at Barca. Maybe not his optimal position but an option. Likewise, Jesus has already shown he can play wide and has done before. Aguero's the only one that's not really flexible. Signing him wouldn't be too dissimilar in terms of set up and fitting players in than if we signed Sanchez, perhaps even being easier given that Jesus Sane Sterling and Mbappe are all under 23 and can be rotated with little trouble.
 
If he was priced anyway normally it'd be great to buy him and let him stay on loan until Aguero retired to sunnier climes.

Right. We can land Mbappe in a battle with Real but can't land Mendy in a one horse. Insane!

Apples and oranges. Mendy we are trying to get for our price. Its all about money. Mbappe we are trying to convince that this is the right place for him. Money is irrelevant in that discussion.
