They wouldn't be playing him out of position? He started last year coming on as a sub for Lemar on the left wing then they moved him upfront. He's perfectly capable of playing off the left in Barcas system.


This isn't a case of whether one is capable of playing a certain position, this is a case of maximizing the potential of a huge investment. To do so means putting said investment in his most favored position to get the most out of him.

You don't have to do it right away, you can put him a position that where he will perform at a high level and where your team needs him in the short term.

At Mbappe's age I think it'd be best if it was right away.

It's actually because of his age that you can push him wide, also in a team like Barcelona the attackers switch all the time by starting him wide in that system you are more likely to use all his attributes. Mbappé is a very good dribbler, he is a very good runner off the ball and he is a good goalscorer.

Yes and you'd want a good goal scorer in front of goal. Thinking of it now Suarez is also the type of player who can play across the front 3 because of his selfless game.

That's the thing, if we were talking about a team managed by Mourinho I would agree with you because the wide players are used like wide midfielders but at Barcelona they are attackers and will find themselves in the middle a lot.

Hence why the likes of Henry and Villa have been able to play wide for them.

Point taken, but sooner rather than later you want Mbappe starting in the middle

If you watch him play he naturally drifts out to that left hand side already, similar to Martial,Henry when started central.
The way Barca play for me with his attributes he'd excel there. Neymar a striker in Brazil played there and it hasn't really done him any harm. Obviously we don't know how Valverde will have Barca play but I'd presume it'll be similar to over the last decade.
It would be similar if he went to City who I'd imagine would be a good fit for him and even Arsenal. United I don't see being a good option on the basis of how we play.

Also if he goes to Real I'd happily bet he'll play from a LW position especially if it's Bale that leaves as Ronaldo transitions to striker.
 
Oooooh, he's coming off injured!

Hopefully hes ok. This kid impresses me every time I see him play, he was somewhat off tonight but still managed to beat his man on the left several times. Hes very strong for his age and pace for days.

But in terms of natural talent i think Dembele is ahead of Mbappe.
 
Not at all, Bale would be around £80-90m while Mbappe is valued at £160m by Monaco.... and Madrid are prepared to pay it

Don't know where you get that from considering all report say the transfer fee is the stumbling block. Madrid don't want to pay more then 130 mil €.
 
According to the very reliable PSGunited (for all psg related news), Mbappe has agreed terms with PSG.
Bluemoon were convinced that they were getting him too:lol::lol:

Very interesting. Battle between PSG, City and Real.

End of contract in 2019. The player doesn't want to renew his contract with Monaco, bad news for Monaco whatever the scenario (Mbapp stays this season or leaves after the WC).

Mbappé is sponsored by Nike: special bonus paid by Nike if he joins PSG, City, Barcelona or Chelsea >>> "Big Club clause" (A category) in the contract signed with Nike.

Indeed, a club like Real is sponsored by Adidas.
 
:lol: the sad little faces on RM and City fans when they realise there Daddy's aren't giving them there new Toy. Beautiful. Having said that PSG are becoming worrying for football if this is true.
 
Front three of Neymar-Cavani-Mbappé would be my guess. It'd be insane if they bought Mbappé too. Surely something must be done if that happens.

Who'd play on the right?

Unless you referred to them switching to a diamond formation and playing Neymar behind the 2.

Their money they can buy who they want I'd much prefer them to sign these players then city or real .
 
Maybe another season of little known signings will wake posters up to the fact Madrid can't sign the big names anymore?
The Galatico policy seems to be dead. God knows who replaces Ronaldo if it isn't Mbappe though.

Money belong to a country which is being used to by new toys rather than help said country

Yeah Madrid spending force and budget seem to be way overrated on these boards.

For some reasons people think Real can just spend whatever they want and always have money available to acquire any target they want. The very same club that has hardly spent much money since their crazy spending in 2009 and have been pulling out of potential deals due to them costing too much.

People are stuck with this certain image about Madrid and genuinely think they have some sort of unlimited fund when that couldn't be any further from the truth.
 
Surely Cavani would be the one to make way?

Neymar - Mbappe - Di Maria

If anything it's sad that all these players are willing to go to this nothing club that's suddenly shooting it's load in every direction and are happy to have no pressure week in week out that comes from the in intensity of a proper title race, and don't want to play in a league with higher quality.

With Mbappe I guess he's young enough to make better moves in the future.

PSG were just in a title race which they lost.

It all dont matter Monaco wont sell to PSG and rightly so. Especially as City and Real in perticular are willing to pay the big bucks for him.

And no amount of lazy reporting will convince them to sell to PSG.

Can't even afford De Gea!
 
Is he as good as Rooney at a similar age?

Its one thing to romp the French league and another to conquer the EPL at 18.
