He was terrible.
He was a better player 2 years ago.

Kylian Mbappé | Real Madrid watch

- Start date
What a mess of a player nowadays. Looks technically average and devoid of any idea on how to play.
As said before, he is a fully devoloped player in his prime, he isn't supposed to take months upon months to settle in.
He is not a "project".
Just how hype works, everyone scared to say a scoring player is perhaps being overrated.
I’m sure he’ll start firing soon.
One more season to prove himself and then he is out. This is not PSG.
Where do you think he should go after that?
If he serves up the same mediocrity in 2nd half of the season, we need a new CF in the summer, not in 1,5 years...
Can't see Mbappe getting to play LF, when Vinicius is fit.
All top footballers have more money than they could have ever dreamed of. They're all loaded. Plenty still motivated.
Personally I never rated as highly as some. Was always about pace. Never a natural finisher, just got plenty of opportunities because of said pace.
He's just getting found out a bit.

He's done a Rashford
Big parallels to Rashford actually who was better at a younger age than now. Both players relying too much on pace that they don’t have anymore
I was never his friend, always said he was overrated.
Chelsea probably
I won't get into Titi, yet that particular game and WC in general, it was more about numbers than actuall trully great perfomances.
On the other in 2018 and that particular game against us, he was trully phenomenal, granted we were a mess, yet he was fantastic.
He has been acting like a spoiled child since too long and this scenario was kind of expected. Yet, he can recover, he even have good numbers (he always tends to have) in his current level. The thing that he has against, it's that Madrid might not be as patient as they were with Vini since he ain't a youngster and he was bought as a Galactico, but it's too early to crucify him. He is quite a specimen and when focus and in form, he is a fantastic footballer with an extraordinary athletism.
He won’t ever give up on the dream and have a failure at Madrid on his CV, but they might give up on him sooner rather than later.
They had the best left winger in the world, but then, Madrid never have thought things through.

Let's get him.
Let's trade him for Martin Ødegaard or some defender!
Thank God Woodward isn't still here....
I still trust. He's in a good age, he's not fat and he's not a minor league experiment.
I don't see Hazardian symptoms.
Whether he doesn't live up to expectations or just lacks the motivation to be the best is another matter.
I don't think he's become that clumsy and flawed overnight.
If the team was in a great moment and he was out of sorts it would be more worrying but it's 24 in champions and this isn't the first tough loss of the season.

Still think Madrid was a bad move for him. He loves to be the star of the team and does perform better when he feels he is. Too many big names at Real and Vini will always be the bigger player than him that will always overshadow ls him
He s just doing a Bergkamp in his last season at Inter. Once we buy him he ll become as great as he was for Arse but then for us.
Lazy, overweight, unfit, under performing, ego centric prima donna - he seems to fit the Manchester United MO perfectly!
Problem is, even before he got there and things fell apart, this signing didn't look good on paper. Even now, looking at your team, he doesn't fit unless he takes another player's position; a player who has been outstanding for you and needed no replacing or interference. Unironically, you killed two birds with one stone with this appointment, hindering Vinicius and having no real way of utilising Mbappe.
The big issue here is trying to force a player to be what he isn't. The similarities with Rashford are actually stark, even down to neither of them being lead the line strikers and both of them doing their best work on the left side of the attack. Mbappe is at an age and profile where coming in and trying to be a different player to what he made his name as defeats the purpose of signing him, which is why it's always felt like such a pointless, and roundly disrupting insertion as he was always going to either step on toes of your best player, or struggle to be an outright #9 given his tendencies and style of play.
You had a recipe that needed a different flavour to be perfect. Instead you went out and bought more salt and ruined the whole thing.
Swap for Rashford
Well, yes, maybe that's just it. An unnecessary signing.
However I find it hard to believe that it is purely a commercial/political decision, and that there was not some kind of analysis beforehand , about what was going to happen, or some tactical solution.
The Galácticos was never assembled because of Analysis and tactics in mind. It was always to get the best in the world with the best commercial values. That’s how I always look at it. And since most were the best in their positions they always somehow performed
Agreed. Hey Arsenal, interested in giving our player back and get a barely used Henry 2.0 in exchange?
Many people have strangely forgotten all this, but I haven't. Quite clearly, he will bounce back.
He'll rediscover his form at Arsenal, i promise
Think Madrid will try their hand at halland seeing how he's potentially attainable this summer with the state city is in.
This was definitely a Galatico signing. It was clear from the outset that Mbappe and Vini would always struggle in the same team. Real jut thought, they're too good, not to be able to play together.
Turns out the issue wasn't his position on the field after all. 
He just sucks shit.
He just sucks shit.
I feel as though someone should really explain the offside rule to him.
For all his faults he’s still a top top player and I wouldn’t say no to him with us but at a serious discount, at the moment he’s anything but a 100mil + player.
He has lost his mojo.
Mbappe spent far too long farting about in a shite League, everyone knows it. He's not prepared for the pressure or expectations that comes with playing for Madrid.
I think this time next year we'll be seeing a totally different player, it's natural that it would taken him some time to get to grips with a new team, a new league etc.

This is probably true. It also gives some perspective to all the comments completely writing off much younger footballers going through similar issues at their new club. I’m looking at you, Zirkzee haters.
He is clearly struggling as a CF, but some Real Madrid fans really don't deserve him.
Just look at his Champions League record (and PSG's without him) to know he is world class. Just because he is taking time to settle does not change the fact he is definitely Real Madrid material.

Nominal loan fee and cover 30% of his wages until the end of the season.
