Forwards who mostly start from a wide position. How are they significantly different? If you can't compare two players like that you can't really compare any players
Kylian Mbappe | PSG
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
I think he'll end up at Real Madrid one day, one way or the other. He's going to be exactly the sort of superstar that they covet.
With all the crazy transfers in recent years, it would be unwise to say "impossible" but just imagine the sums involved in this mega transfer.
Was waiting for this moment to mention that I defended him a year ago in a Mbappe vs Rashford debate.
Nice piece on the BBC about his footballing background. Supremely professional, dedicated and humble.
Makes all the difference in the world when your mentality is first class.

His pace makes him unplayable. Someone must have talked to him after the groups, there was absolutely none of the dribbling into trouble and pratting around with stupid tricks today. He was direct and aggressive.
Yes. Spot on, he's a great kid with a very good entourage (many of the people close to him have been in professional sports). It's helped him a lot.
When will he want to play in La Liga/Premier league? 24-25?
PSG don't give up their crown jewels easily so you're talking 300m + transfer fee I imagine.

And both his parents playing sports and being active in the community with kids in sport is just about the best thing you can have. I like the blend too, Cameroon and Algeria.
The New Old Ronaldo.
He's certainly got that vibe around him. The pace, directness and clinical finishing is what does it.
Exactly. No matter the ideal background, the player himself has to be humble and hardworking. So far the signs are great with him
Maybe never. He's from Paris, and with them in the financial position they're in, they will never need to sell him.
YeahKembo Ekoko is the determining factor.
I really liked him as a player.Just saw this in BBC HYS...
Neymar: "Its fine, I'm young, I'll wait til Ronaldo and Messi retire and then I'll be the main man"
Mbappe: "Hold my baguette"

What a fecking player. I hope we can sign him soon.
I disagree, I think he’s pretty damn consistent, which at 19 is scary. I haven’t seen all his domestic games though so maybe he’s not as consistent as I think
Mbappe looks more impressive than Rooney 04. Beats defenders for fun.
Even if you resell the stadium to the city of Madrid it probably won't be enough. PSG will just meet any bid with giant lulz.
Is there a reason why Rashford can’t do what Mbappe is doing?
Considerable gap in talent might be a good start.
Rashford isn't that composed.
Get your fax machine sorted out first.
Well yeah
He just isn't as good. No shame in thatInferior technical and physical atrributes?
He cannot because he is not just as talented and the mentality is different. Mbappe plays with so much hunger and willingness to improve.
Rashford also strolls around casually too much on the pitch and acts like he is already CR7.
We'll see. At least I will be able to quote this post and laugh at you if we do.
I don't know French, but I've been following his interviews with finding English translations or using Google. That's exactly what I thought. He has maturity IRL, intelligence in general.
Have you seen the game before?
Because he’s not as good?
A breath of fresh air as players in general say dumb shit and say it in a dumb way
Agreed. He talks about football in a very specific sense. Almost like how a coach would talk, which makes me feel like he truly understands the game from a very deep level.
I've always said it this guy is very special. Reminds me of Ronaldo De Lima. Let's do everything possible to get him signed up even if it means we wouldn't sign anyone else this window
Boy is special!

Ronaldo was a sublime dribbler/trickster, though?
His penalty run clocked an average speed of 38 km/h. Faster than Bolt's 2009 world record 100m run(37.5km/h average)
Kylian with a fan
Mbappe has got these tools too. His does what I call effective dribbling plus his devilish pace and lethal finishing. The boy is special and I'm sure you'd see more of him in a bit.
2023, when his contract runs down and he'll be 22
Ronaldo was a comet. Once a century kind
