I think Monaco may want to hold out for more money next year. If he's good enough then his value will keep going up and they will see a bidding war next summer (2018). Realistically, there are only about 2-3 clubs willing to pay that much anyway.

I know it's not going to happen... but just imagine we got Griezmann and Mbappe... We would be the most hated club in the world 
Where would he play for us?
I thought he mainly played on the left or as a second striker. Has he played much as the only striker?

His best form has come when played as a striker, hasn't looked back since being moved up front.
Let's buy all these amazing young talents like martial, depay, Shaw etc and when they don't produce after a year let's move on to the next big youngster
Mbappe is a better talent than all of them. Also how is Martial being moved on? He was frozen out of the squad for not applying himself in training and ever since he started he's been playing regularly?
That remains to be seen.
Oh look, we have a right little expert here. No one else's opinion will count.
I'm no expert but I'm stating facts.

I personally see no reason we couldn't get both.
They both have good age profiles. I think the board would see it as a sound investment.
It's pathetic saying Mbappe is a better talent than all of them. Wait until he moves to England and plays for man utd then judge him.

We were linked with him at points last summer, so there's nothing to suggest we may not do the same this year. That said, he would be the least of our priorities.
Just please fecking sign this kid, people can't genuinely watch Rashford today and claim he's as good as Mbappe. The kid is scoring goals for fun in Champions Leagues and we can't even rely on our wonderkids to get us 3 points against fecking West Brom
Would like to know where exactly we would play him. Up front? Good luck against sides like today. Or shift him to the wing where we already have Marcus and Martial.
Signing him won't make too much of a difference. It's our coaching attack-wise that needs the overhaul.
TBF if this game has proven anything, Rashford isn't ready to play for us, consistently as a starter. He can feck off on loan and learn his trade. You just have to watch Mbappe's movement in the CL in the City match to be able to tell he's a different beast. We had bags of pace in the game today, but not one player actually fecking using it to get behind their lines, fecking dreadful
He has two CL goals apparently. Let's break the bank.
I guarantee you that's two more than Rashford would be getting the way he's playing.
He absolutely would have worked against west brom today. He does not wait for the ball to be played to his feet. He does not make diagonal runs, stop, drop, roll, smoke a cigar and pass backwards. He sees a dribbler , he runs into space to give him options. That ball from lingard in the first half, he'd be at the end of that.
I don't get this argument with regards to Rashford. Are people advocating we make a thread saying we should sign Rashford instead? He already plays for us. Nobody is saying he's rubbish, we are talking about adding to what we have. The only indication by the club that they do not rate Rashford is if they sold him, not if they bought another fast striker.
This match is entirely different from the champions league games. West Brom sat back with numbers, while City played an open game. Mbappe too would have struggled in games like this, his mate Bernardo on the other hand may help us split open these defences. Rashford was one of our better attackers today, not that it means much.
Mkhitryan was dreadful today but he was playing passes in between the lines, but there was no movement at all from Rashford or Martial behind the defence. They were standing static waiting for the ball to come to their feet every time, that's not how you're going to break down a defence like today's. We needed them to be abusing their pace and making runs into space. Also, that chance where Lingard cut the ball across the box and both Rashford and Martial just watched it go across goal instead of attacking it said it all for me really.
Absolutely a fair and sensible point but at the same time we also need to make they are players that can significantly improve us. Otherwise we'll simply stand still or even worse go backwards.
He's said we are going to make interesting signings. That can be interpreted in a variety of ways. We may end up buying some players who make good squad players. Rashford and Martial cannot be depended upon to provide 30 goals between them. Zlatan has scored goals for us but he can go missing in quite a few of them. Mbappe seems to possess all the attributes to be a superstar. He kinda reminds me of a 18 year old Rooney who was devastating. I do agree that we need a striker who can bang in the goals consistently and obviously one who will remain for more than 2 years.
Mauro Icardi has been scoring a lot of goals for Inter. He could be worth a punt.
He would be a fecking moron to join us.
We'd be even bigger morons to break the bank on him. We just gave Monaco about £56m for Martial two years ago and look how that's worked out. Maybe its best to let the player develop at Monaco and prove himself for a couple of years before considering whether or not its wise to break the bank next time.
Dont think anyone was regretting about money spent for Martial before this seasons,wont discuss further about Martial form this season.
We need to be sensible with our money. Unless it's the next Messi we shouldn't be spending ludicrous amounts on youngsters. Look at Dortmund, the buy great players for very reasonable fees. Why can't we do that?
Hope we stay away from this kid.
We need a striker in his prime,not another youngster with potential.

Because you want stars, not projects and can afford them.
Poor tonight.
I half-watched the game but it's not like he lost many duels, he just hardly received the ball. Monaco were poor in possession.
Read Thiago Silva played him out of the match.
The half chances/ chances, space Martial & Rashford could find this game, Mbappe is more capable to do better. I see those chances can be enough to grind out a win in this type of game. And that often separate the top class vs the next tier.
cause once we're mentioned a player's fee goes at least 10m up. Meanwhile most top clubs would start circling around him to have a second look at him. If he's good enough for Manchester United....
Spot on
It's easy to say we need a striker in his prime but when you look at what's availble the options are thin, basically Aubameyang, Lacazette, the Kardashian at Inter or feck forbid Luakau, and out of them Auba is the only one truly good enough, this generation of strikers has passed us by.
I think Martial is a striker and so is griezman
I disagree, Griezmann isn't a striker, he's the guy that plays off the striker which is how he made his name at Atleti and how he plays for both club and country, he doesn't play as the main striker. As for Martial, his movement and finishing is not nearly good enough to be a #9.
I think You need to watch Martial in Moncao and his younger videos, His Abilities are much more useful in the box and he shined for us in no 9 before Memphis flopped on the wing and he had to take is place Both can be used together in a 4312
