Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

Mbappe remembered.

It depends when this was said? I researched the quotes and the best I could see that this was said on the eve of the World Cup Final? If so he was spot on about Mbappe at that moment. His game definitely wasn’t complete and played as he was a teenager but those quotes definitely don’t apply to him now. Mbappe development is following the progress of Ronaldo, from speedy tricky athletic winger to a proper goal scorer and match winner.

Still upset we didn't get Poch. Don't care if this Barcelona team is garbage.

Took off Gueye who was on a yellow for Herrera. Ole doesn't even take off Fred then we're down to 10 men..

This is a stunning result no doubt but I wouldn't read too much into it.

If PSG go on a real run then fair enough.

PSG are favourites

bayern

Madrid can only rely on the "prestige" thing so much imo. Kylian is different

Madrid is garbage right now. Kylian isn't the type of guy to do the whole "Start of a project" thing twice.

Go to Bayern

He'll be R9 level at best.

Become the Messi/Ronaldo of the Prem though? More enticing.

I want to see young breh stat pad and break records

stat pad and break records in the prem? Only if he’s playing for Man City.

No he wasn’t. .Dude said : “more physical then talented” . You could see the talent even when he was at Monaco. Only physical attribute dude has/had is the speed. I mean Xavi could have gotten away wit saying that, but he mentioned Pogba too. Pogba been showing skills on ball and talent for passing since youth football. shyt people criticize him bc he's not physical enough lol.

As long as the team wins, he won't be compared to past greats. Unlike CR7, Mbappe won't have to contend with peak Messi and Barca's golden generation either

You're only as good as your competition. Messi V Ronaldo (as well as all the other good players) raised their status and the status of La Liga

He's winning now but still has an asterisk next to those wins

I think Mbappe knows this and doesn't like the label of playing in a farmer's league

 

[TobiOT]

Don't trust these Bundesliga players...

Never gonna happen. Unless PSG sells him, he falls off something horrible and his new team then wants to sell. PSG and City never do business with each other.

they bout to be real mad soon

Bayern still fav imo have a cupcake league and dont need to expand themselves as teams in other leagues.

Madrid can only rely on the "prestige" thing so much imo. Kylian is different, I don't think he is blinded by that.

Madrid is garbage right now. Kylian isn't the type of guy to do the whole "Start of a project" thing twice. He clearly wants to win now.
Madrid also can't give him the salary he wants. Perez is notoriously hard headed about that. Mbappe is already a World Cup winner and very accomplished, if Perez thinks he can downplay Mbappe's salary because of his age he's going to get BTFO'd.

Mbappe has options. He's 22.

Go to Bayern or Prem, then go to Madrid at 25 or 27.

Or don't go to La Liga at all. It's not the best league anymore. I want to see young breh stat pad and break records. He goes to La Liga he will always be compared to Messi and Ronaldo during a time when they had absolutely epic teams, he will never surpass them there. He'll be R9 or Henry level at best.

Become the Messi/Ronaldo of the Prem though? More enticing.

Liga was never the best league lol
He needs to go to epl and call it a day if he a real bodmon. Or he can wait a few more years

if he wants to win and score a ton, then sure go to Munich but meh

Poch with an actually good team

What was the last top ranked world leading player to move to play in Germany after he has reached the top? Germany is not that kind of league.

Spoiler: money is not everything but ..

Germany is largely a league for German players, 6 - 7/10 level non-german players getting on in years and younger players moving up to bigger leagues from 2nd and 3rd ranked leagues. It is like the Dutch league on steroids.

Get a list of the top hundred stars in world football history, remove the German natives and near-native non-locals (like for example Klose), and see how few of them ever played for a German team.

Or even try this list FIFA 100 - Wikipedia
