Kylian Mbappé | Player Performance Thread

Imagine him up front with Rashford we'd walk the league in a couple of years.
 
Him and Rashford would tear the place apart with their pace. And maybe even Griezmann. :drool::drool:
 
Woody needs to do a preemptive strike here. I'd call Monaco's president and tell him: "The highest bid you get for this guy, I'll give you 20% more" He's the real deal.
 
He would be perfect for Manchester City but it seems like he will stay this summer and move to Madrid the season after.
 
I REALLY want him here, but I also REALLY want Griezman ....I also want Dembele too . Basically, I am a shameless Muppet.
 
Don't want him. I don't think we can afford to nurture another young talent while the team suffers results wise.
And no club should never ever pay over £50m for unproven teenagers. They could easily flop. Spend the money on our academy and you will get the likes of Rashford, who is just as good or better than Martial who we paid £60m for.

Huh? For every one Rashford, how many strikers do we need to run through the academy mill? How many strikers has the academy produced that has started?

Mark Hughes is the last I can remember. You want to wait that long?

Great strikers are just very rare. That's why they cost so much. Even Falcao who had a fantastic record isnt a sure thing.
 
For his own sake, I hope he stays at Monaco for at least another season. Let's see if he can resist the big clubs in the summer though

Look, all I am saying is we have to spend wisely. Because our spending can not be sustained if the club keeps on struggling. We have a young player who we bought from the same club Mbappe is playing for £60m, who we don't know if he is going to flop or not (although he's showing all the signs). Why should we buy Mbappe for over £100m when we can get Griezmann for £85m?
 
Certianly looks the real deal. Doubt we'd go in for him having similar players in Martial and Rashford. If anything Jose will probably opt for a powerhouse type striker like Lakaku to lead the line Or if that fails maybe Griezmann could be coming to support Ibra.
 
Why are people already assuming that Mbappe is gonna go well with Rashford and Martial??

All of them have a similar style of play and are right footed if I am not incorrect. One of them is going to have to be cut down if we have all 3 next season. We need a left forward next season.
 
He's the real deal. There is gonna be a great battle for him this summer. Monaco will never be able to keep him.
 
It does seem like these talents come and go, don't they? First Odegaard was supposed to be the next generational talent, now it's Mbappe.

I really think he should stay for a bit longer. He is not losing anything being there. Clubs will still be after him next summer. And he will learn so much at Monaco, be competing for titles and still playing in the CL.
 
No doubting he is a very exciting player, but Jose has his hands full with Martial/Rashford at the moment.

In my opinion Griezmann would be a far safer option both on and off the pitch, and would require less energy/time to manage.
