  1. Just about anyone who's not a spoiled brat will be a good replacement. Mbappe did nothing for PSG (fanboys, don't don't about domestic trophies, they were winning those before him and will continue after him).

  2. People are obsessed with what Mbappe does and which team he is joining. PSG didn't win a single CL with Mbappe at the helm of the squad for last 6 seasons and it won't be any different this year either. So 7 years with PSG and no CL. In the last 3 years, PSG was quite awful getting beaten by Bayern, Real Madrid and Man City. Actually the way they lost to Real Madrid 2 years back was literally comical. Having Mbappe in the team won't guarantee trophy. A team needs to play as a cohesive unit to win CL. Real Madrid won CL without Mbappe showing tremendous team spirit and last season City was superb other than the final which could have gone either way. Similarly Bayern was at it's best in 2020 and Chelsea defeated a star studded Man City team in final in 2021 with sheer determination.

  3. It is highly recommended and a MUST for Real Madrid management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell, do not offer loan with buy back clause, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Real Madrid, ageing (28 years old and above), inconsistent (limited playing time, unable to perform well) regardless of age, injury prone, include the remaining UEFA Champions League Final Winners in year 2017/2018 season, those players who will turn 28 years old and above on 2027, players that are not comfortable playing in different position instead of their natural position, that must happen "ON OR BEFORE JULY 2027" and we are referring to Modric (38), Kroos (34), José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias "Nacho" (34), José Luis Mato Sanmartín "Joselu" (33), Vasquez (32), Daniel Carvajal Ramos "Dani" (32), Courtois (31), Alaba (31), Rudiger (30), Arrizabalaga (29), Mendy (28), Daniel Ceballos Fernández "Dani Ceballos" (27), Jesús Vallejo Lázaro "Jesus Vallejo" (25), Francisco José García Torres "Fran Garcia" (24), Diaz (24), Juan Miguel Latasa Fernández "Juanmi Latasa" (22), Reinier Jesus Carvalho "Reinier" (22), Takefusa Kubo (22), and Rafael Marín Zamora "Rafa Marin" (21).

    Once they get sold these are the players should be sign based on their positions on or before July 2027.
    Right Back: Alex Jimenez (18), Jesus Fortea (16)
    Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Miguel Gutierrez
    Centre Back: William Saliba, Leny Yoro, Giorgio Scalvini
    Defensive Midfielder (CDM): Federico Redondo
    Main Striker: Kylian Mbappe

    Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength, proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 28 years old and above. We are referring to Walker (33), Trippier (33), Di Lorenzo (30), Cancelo (29), Dumfries (27), Wan-Bissaka (26), White (26), Mazraoui (26), Hakimi (25), Alexander-Arnold (25), James (24), Porro (24), Frimpong (23), Couto (21), and Fresneda (19)

  4. Craig is absolutely right….the spoiled baby diva is at it again. He only cares about $$$. Real Madrid is CRAZY to want this spoiled brat in the dressing room.

  5. What major level or title did Craig Burley compete in to fathom criticizing Mbappe? you cant criticize a level you yourself never played in, at least Frank has a world cup, he's the only one that can criticize the boy. the rest just share your opinions and its getting petty at this point.

  6. I mean.. I know they want to replace Mbappe with a similar profile player for the fans/tickets.
    But they have Kolo Muani, Goncalo Ramos, Dembele, Asensio and Barcola…

    Are they really that desperate for a star forward?

  7. Bellingham is a narcissist, but he pretends otherwise. Mbappe on the other hand is educated, humble and professional; yet he's being shown as the villain because he's not English.
    Mbappe has every right to dislike Neymar. Neymar hadn't been serious about football in half a decade – he wasted his GOAT level talent. Mbappe does not have time for Neymar's drama.

  8. For anyone claiming Mbappe is the best in the world, when there‘s his rival Haaland, Kane and KDB who‘s 100% better than any other player walking on this earth.
