Kylian Mbappé | Player Performance Thread

There is no good comparison, he has a unique style, a powerful, trickery, creative forward.
I know Henry comparison is a tiresome one, but I definitely see Mbappé being the closest to Henry's style, no?

It's not tiresome but they are nothing alike. If you really want to force a comparison it will be Rivaldo but I don't really like that comparison because he doesn't have Rivaldo's shot but he is creative dribbling striker who is perfectly able to play wide.

In fact I'm talking shite, he is a big version of someone like Butragueno.
 

Wenger has no tact. Just by saying that, Monaco will add an extra £10m to his price.

Monaco have some really talented young players in their squad. It's a pity they won't be able to build a long term team with them as they will be picked off by bigger clubs. We need to poach their youth coaches; along with Mbappe, Sidibe, Bakayoko, Fabinho, Lemar etc...
 
Two goals so far today. Think Arsenal fans will explode if Sanchez leaves and they don't buy Mbappé.

We need to be in for him.

We can't risk letting him end up at a domestic rival.

I think City are set with Jesus and Iheanacho, but other clubs will be interested.

If City are set with those two then we should be set with Rashford and Martial.

Monaco aren't letting him go this summer and if he does leave it'll be for a world record fee because every big club will be in for him. City bid 40 million for him last summer when he was just 17 with one goal and 13 appearances and they didn't budge.
 
We should be doing everything in our power to prevent his sale to a rival. The kids golden.

I don't see Martial as an out and out striker. Like it or not, he really suits that inside forward position.

I'm a big fan of Marcus, but we should not pass up the chance to sign a special talent in the hope that he can become what we all dream. Ibrahimović will be gone after next season, so he would replacing him.
 
Giving the Metz players a run around, they can't get near him. We need to make sure he doesn't end up at another PL team

Arsenal will not pay what Monaco will ask.
True.

This is what Martial went for:
€50M transfer fee split as follows:
  • €20M within three days of Martial becoming registered with United.
  • €30M on 1 July 2016.
€30M in addons, as follows (no clause yet met):
  • €10M if Martial scored 25 goals in First Team Competitive Matches (he's currently on 24).
  • €10M if Martial completes 25 appearances for senior French National Team.
  • €10M if Martial is on the list of nominees for the FIFA "Ballon d'Or" award.
He'll go for more than that.

Bayern should/could be in as well. Coman and Costa are no adequate replacements for Ribery and Robben, though I more expect them looking at Alexis. Mbappe will be expensive. Very expensive.
 
What's with these Arsenal links? Why would he go there? Is it just because of the Henry stuff? Stupid, if so. Teams that are on levels Arsenal could only dream of would love to have Mbappe. Arsenal should sit down.

Wenger's confirmed he wants Mbappé. Raves about him constantly.
 
He does look extremely special, obviously things can always turn around quickly, but it will be very interesting to see how good he'll become.
 
People think Monaco will sell? Surely they wont sell so many players.
They'll only sell if the player wants the move and/or they receive audacious sums of money. They reportedly rejected 50m euros for Mbappe this summer, IIRC.
 
With the inevitable signing of Griez plus Zlat, Martial and Rashford we really can't fit him in.

That being said, if Monaco hold on to him for one more season and Zlatan leaves then we'll be able to fit him in.
 
Second hat-trick of the season despite turning 18 six weeks ago. That says it all.
 
How are they coming up with all these young and talented players? They're not academy products are they?

I know they shifted their policy from investing heavily in the likes of Moutinho, Falcao, and James to buying young talented players. Their scouts seem to be doing a stellar job.
 
Why does it seem like the United fans on here are desperate for him? You have Martial & Rashford, why on earth would he move to you? :lol:

His future is at LW & I can't see him leaving for another season or 2 like Hazard. He'll make the France squad, will be paid well & is quickly developing playing for one of the best teams in the World.

He could be a tier above either, to be honest. We're talking about one of the elite talents of this century.

It's simple. He's a world-class talent. I don't think he should move this summer though, but I would love to have him in a year or so. And then add Ousmane, and ask Coman if he would like to continue his European tour and experience England.
 
I guess he is gonna the number one target for every top club this summer.

Sadly, I think we'll be the only top club not in for him.
