Might not be you, someone argued that he could potentially overtake Messi as the GOAT.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Fair enough. I thought you were referring to me.
He is nowhere near Messi's level of talent.
Even at Messi's final PSG season, I don't think Mbappe was that much better than him(if at all).
He could overtake Hazard as a flop if he keeps going like this.
I severely doubt that happens.
If Mbappe's killing at season's end, you better apologize to him
By that, Ronaldo was close to Messi's level (not level of talent, don't want to go there again) for over a decade. Can't see Mbappe coming close, however many goals or CL's he might score/win.
I think we really underappreciated the magic Ronaldo showed at Real Madrid, well I did for years.
20 years ago Henry is still the best PL player we have ever seen. Messi and Ronaldo were tiers even beyond that, it's absurd.
The problem with Mbappe for me is that he is a very good player, however he is a player that has relied (in some part, not entirely) on pace. Pace is also one of the first things to go and can dissappear earlier than expected and suddenly. I am not saying this is an issue now, but it got rear it's head at any point. However, once that starts to go for him, I am not sure he is technical enough to be 'great'.
For me, he'll be 'OK' at Madrid. Whether that satisfies the Madrid fan based however is another matter.

After an era of having the best midfield they forget why they were so good...Not Carlo's fault that Kroos retired and Modric is 60 yet RM didn't sign the necessary replacements. They need an Enzo or Joao Neves (or Vitinha, Ruiz....PSG hoovering up technical passers as if they'll turn into prime Barca
Mbappe needs to start scoring to justify him starting over Endrick.
Did they attack Vs City? I just remember them parking that giant bus.
I would test Real with a 120m bid next summer if we can shift Rashford, to compete with Haaland (who let’s face it makes the difference at City) you are going to need someone exceptional like Liverpool had peak Salah for a few years and why Arsenal can’t win the league.
Not going to happen. When taking his sign on fee into account, he’s on crazy wages.
They weren't great at all, but that set-up is probably the most optimal for Vini/Mbappe to work as a duo.
City were winning leagues before Haaland.
Kylly's back!
Madrid fans already lowkey turning on Mbappe for affecting the team's overall play
What's happening?
They’re not winning every single game 5-0….
Oh to be spoiled
Well Bayern are! And they don't have Mbappé!
Yeah but you have to put up with a ciarlatano calvo.
What you talking about Carlo has beautifully full head of air. 's why all those other guys keep losing to him. I just revealed the secret of Madrid Inevitability
He is lucky Vini doesn’t care about stat padding or his ego. He could easily be named a flop but thanks to all the penalties he has like 6 goals in 8 games or something.
His overall play is poor and he doesn’t have any chemistry with the team. Looks out of place and so far a waste of money. Doesn’t look good.

Another penalty? 
It's madness to sideline a serial winner and big game performer in lieu of an outsider, any outsider. One is a proven commodity that has literally won you the biggest prizes and always stands up to be counted, the other is a gamble until proven otherwise.
This reminds me of when we brought in Berbatov and overcooked the formula trying to make it all work with what was already the best attacking line in England, if not the world. Sure, he'll have his moments, but overall, does the team even need him?
Even Carlo might not be able to make this one work, and that's saying something.
Kylian Hmm..penalty.
I think he'll figure it out. It'll be a strange, unorthodox but genius solution in full effect during crunch time (CL KO stage).
At best I think maybe switch back to the 442 with Camavinga in the Kroos role. Not sure if it will work but best he can do really.
But even then: his general play is poor. Bad passing, mediocre shooting, no dribbling. Like what are we paying for here?
Here for it, but as was discussed before Mbappe even got there, all his favourite actions occupy Vinicius' space and running lines, so what happens to Vincius' game then? Even with Mbappe trying to be an orthodox striker, he's still just going to default encroach into his favourite area of the pitch.
He creates more problems than he solves, so it will be one of Ancelotti's greatest feats if he can make it work and benefit each player.
Could get ugly down the road, probably not.
It will take time for a player who's been the system of his club and national team for several years, to be an integral of such a unique club.
He's playing badly individually. It's not a team issue, he's just failing at fairly basic stuff. He'll get back to his normal level eventually and in a game like yesterday's, finish with at least a hat trick and everything will be fine. Once we get Camavinga back, the only hurdle to clear will be defensive organization. Don't expect effort to be an issue
