We should change our minds at the last second and tell him we don't want him afterall
Kylian Mbappe | Merci.
- Thread starter bosskeano
- Start date
He is bigger than Real Madrid
I don't know him as a person, but i reckon he will get along fine enough, but, we all know he will be the highest paid player at the club by far(even if it doesn't show, bonuses etc), i'm not sure how that goes down with the rest of the squad of serial-winners in UCL, when Mbappe arrives empty-handed on that front.
Not signing him would be contrary to all the excesses we love so much and rejecting him would be contrary to our magnanimity.
We will have hours and hours to analyse whether it is a mistake or not. I hope he at least makes a video on his knees begging for mercy.
One boot in Madrid and the other on the euros.
I guess he could be a decent backup for Hojlund
Imagine we sign him, I'd absolutely lose my mind. When was the last time we signed the best player in the world?
True, i don't know where he goes if not RM though, probably stays.
There are some other options, but they don't seem to "fit", City? Pep has his robotic football-system, Mbappe with his lack of workrate disrupts that, United and Liverpool are not in great shape.
We won't, but I hope we sign Rodrygo if he becomes available once Mbappe arrives in Madrid. Don't see them selling Vini.
He'd be amazing as a #9. Although, I'd take Brahim or Joselu at this stage!
I wonder if they’ll tolerate his sulking at Madrid. Suppose if he scores like Ronaldo they won’t give a damn (and fair enough)
It was less than 2 years ago.
Is it just me that finds it weird he says ‘I never wanted to cheat’?!
Is there a story here or am I missing something?

Mbappe
Rashford - Mount - Antony
Casemiro - Amrabat
Shaw - Lindelof - Maguire - AWB
Onana

Rodrygo would take Rashfords spot and be one of the Prems best players
As soon as you put Mbappe in there, it actually dawns upon you how horrific the rest of our team is. Mbappe amongst that lot looks so out of place.
2018?
He'll disrupt them and alienate the other superstars.
There's not a single player I'd disrupt Vinicius' game for, personally. Mbappe isn't a level above him at being a 2-way winger or someone who incessantly feeds others in the team. As a pure forward, yeah, Mbappe gets the nod, and he is the better player at that. But Madrid don't play that way, and Mbappe would not be better in Vinicius' role of being a relentless pressing, tracking, tackling and transitional nightmare.
Vinicius runs himself into the ground every game, and is a monstrous big game player who gives the opposition little time to breathe, whilst giving his own side plenty of rest bite by running for them. Compared to that, Mbappe is a casual stroller who comes alive in moments, but he will never bust a gut putting every sinew into the collective cause and that immediately disrupts the harmony and synergy with which Madrid continue to be what they are in these latter stage games.
Any other club in the world, I'd let Mbappe be Mbappe and have the team cater to his game, but at Madrid, unless the guy goes back to the days of doing his thing on the right, I wouldn't be looking to bring him in and threaten the developing synergy this new group of players are creating amongst themselves.
Has to be a wind up this.
He's not replacing Vini, he's filling a Benzema sized hole. They will adapt their tactics and make it work. They're doing well now but imo it's Carlo working his magic with what he's got, rather than this system being the best for them.
Yes, I'm sure in our current financial situation and needing an entirely new back 4 and dm, signing Mbappe would be completely logical and realistic. Why would he want to join Real, winning numerous leagues and CLs, when he could join us in our squalor 
Can we swoop in on him on a month contract just for the FA Cup Final?
€1million for 1 game seems like a sweet deal. €2 million if we win
Yeah, nothing this fecker this doesn't mean anything. Nothing prevents him to do another video stating he has changed his mind or some bs like that.
His hat trick was in the 2022 final?
Are you ok?
Agreed he wasn't great for most of the match (I think he showed signs of life before that, maybe first 65-70 minutes he was poor). But he was absolutely electric for the last 10 minutes of that game and extra time. His second goal was a brilliant strike and it's the equaliser, if that is the winner then it's remembered for many years. He won the second penalty with his shot as well. The end definitely outweighed the bad start to the game.
He's only 25 despite being around for almost a decade.
So how will Madrid line up with him in team? Continue with diamond - Bellingham behind Vinicius and Mbappe or switch to 4-3-3 where Vinicius-Mbappe-Rodrygo make the attack. Either way it's a brilliant attack and team in general. Not winning CL with PSG for all these years surely only made Mbappe desperate for that trophy and Madrid should be the club that guarantees winning it.

But he's nothing like Benzema. He makes his living facing the goal than backing it. Benzema was a supreme hold up and build up player. Mbappe just isn't. So i'd be shocked if they played him central rather than wide left or right.
Reminds me of national teams where they have that one world class player and the others you never heard of. (Lewandowski for Poland, Haaland for Norway)
He already agreed to join Real, so not sure why you wasted your time with the lineup.
I think right now for the 6/7 midfield and attacking positions there are two levels.
The untouchables, who are not going to be on the bench: Mbappe, Vini, Bellingham, Valverde.
A second level of players who can be fundamental at certain times, replace the first line due to injuries but who can be benched without drama (inconsistency, hierarchy, age): Camavinga, Tchouameni, Kroos, Guler, "new signing", Alaba, Brahim.
I imagine that the role of one or the other may vary depending on the choices. Tchouameni as a centre-back, Camavinga as a false full-back, Bellingham to the middle etc.
Endrick is coming to Madrid as well wich means that someone of Vinicius or Rodrygo would be sold. There are already rumours that Pep Guardiola is a big admirer of Rodrygo and would love to sign him for City..
I think he means Real Madrid are looking to sign the other ten players
If Rodrygo is available I think pretty much every club in world football would want him.
Why have you chosen our second choice players for most positions?
I still don't think he'll play #9 at Madrid as why would he be content with that when he was unhappy about playing in that position in Paris?
Both him and Vini are objectively at their best on the left.
I think it will cause unnecessary issues unless the Brazilian leaves.
They should be after a real #9 and probably a new manager, if they want to be the best team in the world. However that would still probably not be enough to be better than Pep's City, so I get it, and they can afford to be patient. By this time next year, they'll have probably added Mbappé, Yoro, Davies and possibly Alonso takes over from Ancelotti. That will then have them up there, and until then they'll take their chances again next year, as Barcelona and Atletico aren't that great, and they're always capable of beating City in the CL over two legs with that pragmatic approach and the craziest chance conversion rates, like they've been doing for the last 3 years in the competition.
