What are your guys' thoughts on his comparison with Neymar, who do you feel like is the better prospect, young Mbappe, or young Neymar?

Neymar is better

side note: apparently liked a pic of Varane and Benzema on the bus to vigo on instagram

might not mean much since they are french buddies but done dealio is a done dealio

Similar players but Mbappe for me as of now.  He's tooling CL and Ligue 1 as opposed to Neymar in a lesser league at the age of 18 for both.  Neymar showed his stuff on the international stage when he was 19 and truly when he turned 20.

Mbappe is a better finisher regardless.  Just a natural goalscorer.  Neymar is a better dribbler.

Both are fantastic.

Now that Bernardo Silva is gone are we more or less likely to sign Mbappe?

nothing has changed, Monaco are in business. If the player says he wants to go and we meet Monaco asking price he is gone.

It's a pretty short sighted plan, I thought Mbappe would go but not Silva. How do they expect to keep their manager and other teammates if they are gutting their team after 1 successful run?

It's not 1 successful run.  They made CL quarters 2 years ago too and beat Arsenal in the round of 1/8.  Met Juve in the quarters and lost 1-0 at Monaco and drew 0-0 in Turin. The team was 50% different then too as the attack was Martial/Berbatov. Carrasco was on the wing. Toulalan/Moutinho were the mids. Kurzawa/Fabinho were the fullbacks. Raggi/Abdenour were the CBs.

They know what they're doing.  They are what Porto used to be 15 years ago in terms of scouting and picking players.  They already signed Tielemans from Anderlecht for 25 mil and Jordy Gaspar from Lyon (their prize youth fullback).  About to pillage Ligue 1 young talent too.

They also have 4 kids waiting in the wings that are going to be very good imo....  Jorge (21 year old CB from Brazil), Boschilia (21 yo AM from Brazil), Adrien Bongiovanni (17 yo AM they picked off from Standard Liege a couple of years ago) and Ivan Cordona (19 yo pure 9 CF).

Falcao wants to stay.  Germain is going to be there.  Moutinho as well.  Glik.  Subasic.  Raggi and Jemerson.

They are going to be fine.  Going to make it out of group stage of CL again as long as Jardim stays.  They have a very good system going.

I read that Mbappe was average the first half season then he really lit up the second half season. I think sportsczy watches Monaco games (I think he was a Monaco fan too? or was it Marseille? don't remember) so can you confirm?

That's why he got a 71 silver card in FUT, which many disagree with I read but some say it was just because he was inconsistent

he was a 17 years under utilized 17 years old lol, that's all you need to know.

then other thing you need to know is that he forced himself into the team and serve a can of whoopass to all levels, including CL and european elite.

this kid is one of a kind, you need to stop with the nitpicking

He was never average... he came in and destroyed everything in sight. Scored 4 goals and dished out 1 assist in his first 2 games as a starter last season. Scored a hat trick in his second game as a regular.

He was phenomenal from the first moment.

If mbappe flops next season whether he stay or goes, is gonna be epic AF remember bojan? He was a world beater too wonder what happened to him?

Surprised no one said the cliché if we don't sign him, we are doom like with pogba, anyway defenders are gonna take notice of him next season something tell me its gonna be funny

Bojan made a name for himself by scoring heaps of goals while still in Barca's academy. People noticed that he had a keen eye for goals, despite being physically underwhelming. I'm not as big a fan of Mbappe as some people on here are, but surely he's already done more to prove himself than Bojan ever did.

Look at you Chad fantasizing about a 18 yo failing so you can be right in a forum discussion, you are hater

Haaaaaateeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr you disgust me brah

As if Mbappe has any chance of flopping only injuries can stop dat phenom. we should offload bale asap so he could take the #11

If he carries on with this form for another season we can get a little excited but for now this insane hype is unwarranted.... anyone is capable of shining in one season, however most fail when it comes to repeating it year by year.

Hype is unwarranted... anyone is capable of shining in one season... ok

If it's so common please show me 10 18 years old who performed the way Mbappe did with Monaco. I will wait lol

And of course hype is all we have no one knows how his career will turn out but in a sports where acquiring the best possible talent is the moto, not jumping on this kid is completely stupid. But hey while you guys are at home holding your dcks in one hand and your keyboard with the other one, real clubs like Real Madrid, City, United, Arsenal, Liverpool are out there bidding 100 mil. Oh well

Bojan was never a world beater, just a talent youngster who benefited from playing in a team that was superior than many. There was a specific reason he got shipped out while Barcelona kept buying different forwards.

Nick on suicide watch atm

"They have been trying to sign me since I was 14"

But that doesn't mean we won't sign him now, totally different ball game. I think we're just waiting on Morata to be sold first

There are the elections too, nothing get some donne before. It's a formality but Perez has to Ben voted in first

I think it says alot about his mentality. He wants a full guarantee that he is coming as a starter

Mbappe pretty much hinted that he's moving somewhere this summer... but it didn't sound like it was necessarily Real Madrid. In fact, my instinct tells me he's not going to a team where his status as a regular is in doubt.

I fear that City is lurking here.

I wouldn't be surprised. Pep was complaining all of last season how poor City was at converting their chances. Hence, he wants to add another goalscorer. IIRC he pretty much said something like:

"If you want speed on the wings, you buy a pacy winger. If you want goals, you buy a goalscorer."

It's either going to be Mbappe or Alexis IMO.

nevermind
