Controversial opinion maybe, but he can't be far off the top at the age of 23?
Is Mbappe the best french player ever?
- Thread starter Skills
- Start date
Zidane? Platini?
no
Nah, he has a few things to iron out first and get individual records/trophies for that. Let's say that he has all the tools and talent to achieve that but I doubt he will.
He’s not better than Benzema yet.
Not yet but will be considered the best quite soon already. Biggest European talent since Ronaldo
What a stupid thing to ask. Sorry OP.
He’s miles off Cantona.
Current is always the best ever. First rule of forums.
can't be that far off for the French national team, having already won a world cup and all
No question.
Also, best ever can never be shared, it’s not as though certain player were best for periods of their careers. If you’re best now, you’re the best there ever was.
No; but he can get there. There’s some inconsistencies he needs to work on, such as his decision making. He’s selfish but not in a good way sometimes.
I don’t think a move from PSG is that important either. If he constantly turns up in the UCL knockouts, then it doesn’t matter

Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the best Frenchman of them all?
Eric Cantona of course, you stupid twat.

Obviously Cantona but he is approaching the number two spot if he carries on the same trajectory.
Platini or Zidane miles clear at the moment.
Not yet. Platini, Zidane, Henry is the holy trinity for me. He’ll get there soon, he’s sensational.
His trajectory is probably Zidane or Platini level but still a while to go in his career yet, as highly as I rate him.
Long way off
Agree. He has to be consistently great for some seasons more.
He’s an incredible player. It’s a shame he’s a greedy feck wasting his club career at PSG.
For France he is already much better then Benzema. Benzema did nothing for France. So I don’t know what you are talking about.
Benzema is French but did play very little for France.
Pretty much this. Forums are always full of kneejerkism
I know that I thought op was talking overall.
He's better than Henry already IMO.
you need to research Michel Platini, pronto.
Nope not yet. Clinical finishing, decision making and set piece taking, Henry was better.
No, he isn't close.
If he wins this World Cup and bangs in a few goals. He’s got to be considered as the best.
The scary thing is he is still young enough to win another one or two World Cups. The French have so many young players, who are playing at the highest level already, to help him achieve this.
He needs to come to the PL and prove his quality against teams like Leicester and Everton before this thread can be made
Right now, it is still this guy.
If he wins 2 world cups at 23 already, he will be up there with Pelé, let alone Zidane or Platini. But it’s too soon to speak about how great is Mbappé right now.
Not yet.
Still some way to go to match Platini and even Zidane.

Probably not for a French guy. We are not Tottenham, we are loving trophies and this guy was great but didn’t win the World Cup.
Yeah, should start in league 2 alongside Pep just to prove how great he is.
yes he is
Platini is widely considered the best by french guys.
The more interesting question to me is how many world cup goals he’ll end up with. He could easily reach 10 overall goals after this world cup and he’s only 23.
