Bayern needs haaland
Are we really going to ignore the fact that Benzema literally played in the left half space most of the time and vinzema duo worked beautifully? And according to The Athletic mbappe is the most similar profile currently to that of benzema with 96% similarities. I would definitely say that Mbappe to madrid will work and the most logical conclusion is a player of his calibre will always end up at the best club in the world.
My unpopular opinion is Liverpool sell Salah (his contract runs out in 2025) for £70-90m if not 100 since that is what Bayern paid Spurs for Kane. And use some of that money on Mbappé salary. But don’t match the one that he has at psg. He might actually take the offer because he has stated he is fond of Liverpool and their history and current status in the prem.
Short answer – no.
Real Madrid are so filthy rich and famous they can just naturally attract the best talent and just make it work regardless of if it fully makes 100%
Madrid’s Bap signing is similar to their singing of Beckham in that, they didn’t need him, it was just a simple question. Why not?
I could see rodrygo dropping to the bench if they do get him and then vinicius on the right
I think you yourself made a video about benzema when he was in real madrid
And he regularly tended to begin his runs from the left near vinicius and swap position with vini or let vini hug the touchline.
I see no reason why this wouldn't work again.
Mbappe should join Man City.
In my opinion, play a 3-4-3 and play Mbappé at LM and try that.
We don’t need him arda isn’t getting time since we have so much forwards and with getting mbappe there will be many problems with Rodrygo having to leave Vini needing to leave or Bellingham needing to step back. I don’t think mbappe would be able to play as a striker or a false nine and when he joins Real Madrid he’s gonna take vinis space. By the time endrick comes into Real Madrid we are going to have Eight forwardssss there’s not nearly enough room for all of them arda brahim Bellingham vini rodrygo joselu mbappe and endrick what are we gonna do 😲😲❓❓
Vini,Rodrygo<mbappe. Mbappe is a world cup holder. Mbappe was in the balon with cris and mess-and neymar. Mbappe is like a $100 bill. is nolonger an upcoming or potential world best. He is right now.
I think its good real madrid signs mbappe. Because I am pretty sure that endrick and Rodrygo won't get much playing time due to mbappe. While emdrick might wait but Rodrygo can't. So he will definitely move to some other club. Maybe liverpool. He will end up strengthning another team. While madrid will have bellingham, mbappe, Vinicius and endrick. And I do beleive that after 3-4 season. Another of Vinicius or Endrick will move club and or maybe it could be Bellingham because he will be pushed down to play a deeper role in midfield and not get much limelight. Liverpool or maybe man city will replace him with De bruyne. And just like that because of mbappe deal, Real madrid will create a more competitive football world because they will lose and disperse their talent pool. If barcelona can just make a good team and buy some good players we will have some good football teams with real madrid, barca, Man city, Liverpool or arsenal, Inter and Bayern munich. Thanks to Mbappe deal which will break madrid monopoly over talented young footballers.
Just buy Artem Dovbyk.. basically different Haland
And with Endrick coming up they be building a God squad. They also have Guller like wtf is this team.
I'd have thought they would wanna spend money on a CB like Saliba or something and maybe a RB for the future. Theyre fine elsewhere. They need a Target man Striker instead pf Mbappe.
We buy him for the bench
It doesn't matter if they need him fans just wan't him at Real Madrid
It’s seems like everyone forgot why Mbappe wanted to leave 2 years ago, because he was playing CF. Even if he’s the only guy who can play that position he still won’t wanna do it. Madrid will be better off selling Vini and buying a proper 9 like Dusan Vlahovic or Martinez
I heard that perez is willing to sell off vini if they need to, in order to being mbappe. So…
Just shut up and trust Carlo.
The right question is 🤔 who is going to the bench, when mbappe is there 😂
Mbappe to madrid is going to affect vini no doubt, but maybe you sell Vini and go for an out and out Right winger
Need no they dont need him, but do they want him I would say fn yea
Ederson has twice more average touches per 90 than Haaland💀💀
Aren't they signing Davies aswell? Their team is goin to be RIDICULOUS if it all works out
If Mbappe is scoring the goals Jude won't need to. It's a team sport and everyone got their role to play. Some are there to score, some are there to provide and that's fine. Also Jude can still attack the space up front – Lampard did it brillantly for years.
NO THEY DO NOT
This is something I’ve been saying for the last year! Although he says he’s a striker, he doesn’t play through the middle, so he needs to go somewhere that doesn’t have a player like Vini who plays in the left half-space.
Realistically there aren’t many club that could afford his wages
Another great player choosing real madrid over PL😂😂
This analysis is top notch
You did not make a full video only because it was not about the Premier League team, correct?
No Mbappe needs Madrid.
Ok so before everyone falls on me yea can we imagine a front 3 of Mbappe, Nkunku and Palmer!! Unrealistic but one can dream😂😂😂😂😂
Vini is coming to United Rashford going to psg mark it here
Why does he look like that
It really wouldn’t surprise me if Madrid eventually let Vinicius or Rodrygo leave we’ve seen it before with Ozil and Di Maria etc. if they can get someone better even if who they have is already world class then they will
Real Madrid will sell vinicious once they got mbappe
Not a problem
They don't need Mbappé. I wouldn't like to see him at Madrid, they already seem so in tune. It feels like Mbappé might spoil it. I'd rather see how far can Ancelotti take his 4-3-1-2, maybe adding Endrick as a third forward next season. Seems like a more interesting future.
Realistically, they'd probably still want Mbappe, but the way I see it, they really should be giving Endrick more minutes behind an older striker (potentially Benzema on loan), or going for someone like Santi Gimenez.
Ahem….THE best player in the world.
Mbappe should never come to any big club after PSG. He should be boycotted for his greed. Also his parents.
Shut up, let's see next sn
But bellingham is playing false 9 because of the absence of a striker
So he wouldn’t fit and should sign for Portsmouth instead? Cool, sounds good.
To be fair benzema loved playing off the left wing too and combined amazingly with vini. Now this would require mbappe to develop more technical passing skills, but it could work. If anyone can fit mbappe in its Carlo ancelotti
real madrid doesn’t need mbappe for tactical reasons, madrid wants mbappe because it’s the best and most marketable player in the world. imagine what a “ronaldo 2.0” in a madrid shirt can do marketing wise…
