A very high chance Rayan Cherki is gonna be better than Mbappe? A bit premature?
Mbappé is overrated. He isn't even the best french player of his generation ( Dembele ) but Cherki is a fraud. Ben Arfa 2.0.

Not everything has to be a hot take.

Doesn't look like this is happening.
The boy's 16. If there is anything to this (and I have no idea whether there is) it's not a signing to patch up the first XI until May, it's a signing for the long term. The closure of the transfer window is neither here nor there.

He is talented but he exclusively plays in his age class which wasn't the case for Mbappé who was mainly playing in older classes. At 16 Mbappé was training with the pro and splitting his time between U19 and Monaco B while Cherki is in U17 and with France U16. On the other hand Monaco has one player, Matazo, who is 16 years old and play in National 2(4th division).
Cherki is 15, not 16.
Mbappe at 15 was not training with the pros he was playing U17 football and then made the jump to CFA aged 16.
And wtf exclusively plays in his age class? He plays in U19 right now and U17 is NOT his age class to begin with.

He’s on a one way ticket to Roma from what I heard. No chance lads, consign this thread to the history books.

He did play against Dijon in U19 this week, you are right.

Yeah, I'm thinking it might go as high as 40m based on his talent level. This guy isn't just another youth signing. It would be a serious statement signing, of the Vinicius Jnr, Mbappe, O. Dembele level.
40m is doable but should be done on all bonuses to minimise the risk.

Saw him play vs Roma a few years back and he was sensational. Ran out of gas towards the end though.

If he is that good, i expect a host of other top clubs also sniffing around. Hope we have some pre agreement.
With a bit of luck the fact we went in early shows how much we want him should play in our favour, we probably had some kind of personal terms/role agreed with him which is why we went so hard for him.

Any details of what happened?
No details but it seems something quite serious has happened for his Mother to be traumatized. The family is of a Tunisian back ground if i'm not mistaken.

Looks like Barca will soon make him part of the family

He's nailed on to start strong in Spain, brief spell in France before spending a decade or so of his best years as a journeyman in Italy.

What is his contract situation? If Monaco blocked now, they can block in the summer too.

Tbh, 6 months is a long time, and they clearly rate him highly. I expect news that they have resolved their issues and a new contract with promises has been agreed.

Dembele is more talented but he's not better than Mbappe overall.
And you'll be eating your own words in a few years regarding Cherki because he blows even Ben Arfa out of the water in raw talent.

There were also puns about Hannibal Barca though. And they were the better ones.
