He’s available on a free (although obviously the signing on fee will be huge) With Pogba & Cavani most likely leaving, that frees up around 500k a week of wages, plus there may be other departures. Mbappe’s childhood hero was Ronaldo, & he’s made it pretty clear he wants out of PSG. What you reckon?
Should we go all in for Mbappe in the summer?

The thought had crossed my mind, then I give my head a shake and told myself to wise up..
no
Why not? He can play centre, right, left, Ronaldo is old, Martial is on borrowed time. feck it get him in. Pogba & Cavani leaving will leave spaces on LW & CF. City have won titles because of their obscene squad depth. Lets have some of that. Who cares if Rashford & Sancho aren’t starting every game?
He would not want to come here, no point in trying.
No.
Don't waste your breath, he is 100% Madrid bound.

No, he’s got his heart set on Real Madrid and the combination of the role he plays and the upgrade he would give us over our current options there isn’t worth the outlay. We’d be much better off going for Haaland.
He’s also a bit of a prick. Wrong personality for the squad.

Nope. Like Camavinga he's hellbent on going to Madrid, or he'll simply sign a new contract with PSG. Kane and Haaland are a possibility next summer but we should forget about Mbappe.
Since we are also going to sign Haaland, and both of them idolised Ronaldo when they were young, maybe we could play this next summer:
Mbappe Haaland Ronaldo
He has no interest, he wants Madrid. I don't want us trying to sign players that don't really want to be here.
Plus he's been acting a bit primadonna like and I think he needs a bit of a rude awakening. I don't want us to have to deal with that shitstorm.

It's not discussed because its a non-starter. Let Liverpool delude themselves with this idea.
How about we sign players who want to come here.
Is this real or has someone re-created that scene from Alan Partridge using photoshop?
Cantona & Keane were pricks. Some would say Ronaldo is a prick. Pricks win titles.
He wants to sign for Real obviously.
We will fight with everyone else for Haaland
We will fight with everyone else for Haaland
Yeah all of the above and while he's brilliant, we don't need another wing forward type player. It would only delay getting in a midfielder or two which is really what we need.
Considering Real were prepared to fork out €200m to get him, can you imagine the contract he'll get if they get him for free!
We are better then Madrid though. His hero plays for us. Why wouldn’t he want to join?
The only way we would get him is if he wanted to play with Ronaldo, thats it. The guy wants Madrid and has never hid that from anyone.
I think we will be all in on Haaland, and i have a sneaky feeling we are going to get him.

With Pogba, Cavani & probably Martial on their way out, we might need another forward soon. Plus, its Mbappe, might as well try?
Cantina and Keane were pricks but all their energy was focused on the team winning and they could be pricks if they felt people were getting in the way of that target. Same for Ronaldo.
Mbappe is a prick because he puts himself ahead of his team mates and creates a circus.
Not sure how we're better than Madrid. How did you figure that? The season just started, we both finished 2nd last season and they went further than us in the CL. Are we better "on paper"? Let's see come end of the season.
And also he doesn't want to join us because he wants Madrid. It's not always about which team is the best.
I think we are set to make serious play for Haaland and would need at least one midfielder possibly two next season as well . I don't believe we would have the finances for Mbappe unless he is the one we prioritise ahead of Haaland.
I think signing Ronaldo has killed signing Haaland. Neither are going to happy in a rotational role, and Ronaldo can’t play out wide anymore. Mbappe offers more versatility.
I think his wage bill would be a step backwards.
We can sign anyone when we go balls deep
The problem is we likely won’t go balls deep. Solskjaer will want Haaland

He wouldn’t get in to our starting line up.
If there's a slight chance, of course.
Then that's out of the question cause Ronaldo can't play out wide and Mbappe won't play out wide. Simples
Haaland is going to PSG sadly.
They’ve since lost their best 2 defenders (one of them to us). They have shite like Bale & Vinicius starting for them. The only position they are better is midfield & even their midfield is ancient now.
I don't think he could play centrally in the premier league week in week out and deserve the wages he would demand imho. Better options out there. Left forward maybe, up top, not for me.
Zidane + Mbappe 2022
The latter is a big fan of Ronaldo and will get to play with him. Zidane will hopefully get the best out of the french contingent and has worked with Ronaldo before too.
Of course none of that is practical as we are stacked in attacking positions and should be focusing on our midfield.

Ramos was shite last season anyway and they signed Alaba. Vinicius isn't shite ffs. Bale will be leaving end of season anyway, probably Benzema too to make way for Mbappe.
We've done nothing yet to show we're the better team. Don't give a feck if their midfield is ancient, it's still better than ours. They also signed Camavinga in midfield.
Mbappe is 100% going to madrid so wouldnt even waste the time trying.
I say we are going to go balls deep on Haaland next year. If we win something this year it will certainly help. I also think having Ronaldo back might help sway his decision to come here.

I imagine it would take a minimal amount effort to confirm his intentions to sign for Real Madrid.
Are we just going to forget about Rashford, Greenwood and Sancho? That attack would never work anyway.
Unless he has a disastrous season Ole ain’t going nowhere. If we finish 4th with no silverware 30 points behind the champions he will still keep his job. He’d need to finish outside the top 4 & even then it’s not a certainty he’d go.
I think this is important. Much about us that excites people is on paper. Until we actually start going far in the CL and challenge for the league , it's pointless to say we are better than so and so,
Once the hero is retired, the cycle starts again .not even worth a try
