Wait Kolo Muani is leaving? didn't he literally join PSG last summer, what happened?

They play him as a winger.  He's not a winger.  Enrique wants a false 9.  So PSG are going to sell him.  Would have been nice to notice he's not a false 9 BEFORE you bought him looool.

To be fair, Enrique will make PSG better but he needs possession-type players who play slow.  With Muani, Dembele, Mbappe, Barcola, etc... you can't play slow.  Also needs a keeper that can handle the ball at his feet + defenders who are great technically + you get my point.

The team, as constructed, doesn't fit Enrique's style.  It will though.  He has several young players that are perfect for him. Just needs to rotate some players out of the squad and bring in the profiles that he needs.

So weak

Dembele, Vitinha, Barcola absolutely overshadowed this bum. Shambolic performance in both legs.

He's awful as a striker, which bodes well for his move to Madrid. I'm predicting Vinicius will be sold to accommodate Mbappe on the wing.

Problem is on the wing he can’t beat a defender that matches him for pace. I’m afraid once his speed decreases he’ll be a nothing player. French Walcott is a stretch but except for his world class ball striking they’re not that different

Yeah expect for that one small thing that translates to 40+ goals every season, they're not that different

You guys keep doing this every year, wait for the slightest underperformance to call his entire skill set into question. The funny thing is that even on a bad night like yesterday, he still came out with two clutch goals that decided the tie.

Sportszczy will tell you it's not just just one game, he doesnt want to play centrally and argued with Neymar about this

That seems to be very common for football fans, in general. I've also noticed that some people like to pretend that they're experts on players they don't seem to actually watch. Off the top of my head, I'll probably never forget when our residential Liga Portugal expert, MrNick complained that Luka Jovic, who was playing for Frankfurt at the time, was limited by being too damn right-footed. When in actual fact, he's two-footed

I suspect that Mbappe’s big announcement will now be put off until end of May, after CL final!

Imagine if we meet in the final with Mbappe scoring the winning goal against his future team, real awkward.

No, we are unstoppable now.

I may be in the minority (or probably the only one) but I genuinely believe that Mbappé would bring more harm than good if he ever signed for Madrid.

His talent is undeniable, but I don't think the club would get the best out of him without sacrificing Vini or Rodrygo or someone else.

Maybe I'm being unfair to him, as judging a player based only on a disappointing two-legged tie isn't exactly fair or accurate, but I really was disappointed with him against Barça.

That and the fact that he brings too much drama with him. I didn't exactly forget the fiasco that he and his entourage created basically and almost every single transfer window which put Madrid at one point in a very bad situation - made them basically trust in his word and wait for him indefinitely, only to make a U-turn at the very last second.

I'm in the minority, but I honestly don't want him to sign for Madrid.

Lol, Jesus Christ. If we win the 15th and have a summer where we acquire Mbappe, Davies, Yoro, Endrick, and inaugurate the New Bernabeu with a star studded exhibition in the summer... Madrid would be at its historical peak, nothing else seen like it in the history of Earth.


Rodrygo and Endrick to cook as super sub/rotation players and Mbappe/Vinicius interchanging with Bellingham connecting things in a 4231/4222...

I think we will go back to 4-3-3 with Mbappe, there's no way Rodrygo settles for a bench role, he is too good for that.

This is how we'll probably play:

Courtois/Lunin
Carvajal - Militao/Tchou - Rudiger - Davies/Mendy
Fede - Cama/Kroos - Bellingham
Rodrygo/Endrick - Mbappe - Vinicius

Arda will probably have to go on a loan and Brahim will have the "super sub" rule with diminished minutes.

You’re missing Alaba in your chart. also Yoro is likely coming in as well. Both he and Davies are either coming this summer at reduced costs or free the following summer.

Take a look in transfer rumour thread. Just this week, there is a story that Güler will go out on loan to get playing time. Candidates are Dortmund, Leverkussen or Milan. I’m hoping he goes with Xabi (and they both return in a couple of years.

The other thing wrong in your chart is at LB. Mendy will be sold. There also is the possibility of Gutierrez returning and replacing Fran as backup, although I suspect they will exercise their right to get him back, but resell at a good profit.

I’m not convinced that Carlo will give on his 4-4-2 formation, at least not full time.

With Güler going out on loan, plus departures of both Modric and Ceballos, there will be 5 mids and 6 forwards, all quality. With those numbers, rotations are practical and likely as well as adaptations in formation.

Just to add onto this, today Nacho has informed the club that he wants to go to greener pastures next season. I assume that will mean Yoro will be coming this summer, and another headache for Carlo. That will be 4 CBs, that want to be a starter!

The team will be stacked, but Carlo will have a huge issue in providing minutes to everyone deserving it. As stated earlier, there will not be enough minutes available to satisfy everyone, which no doubt will lead to some departures in a year or two!
