Just putting it out there. Would Mbappe fit in Arsenal?

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp 3 points 1 year ago

Yes.

Unfortunately it won't happen.

@frapples1 @Astrealix No, would distrupt everything good about what Edu and Mikel are building

[–] kuijun 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hard disagree. with mbappe on the left, teams wouldn't be able to double mark saka on the right. and with odegaard feeding them both...

i love what martinelli brings, but mbappe is two tiers above him as a player

@kuijun @darkufo I think darkufo is talking about the culture of the team, and how everyone works to cover each other. Mbappe doesn't track back, and his ego would disrupt the changing room.

[–] kuijun 2 points 1 year ago

fair enough, but tracking back is probably like the one area where Martinelli is better than Mbappe. in every other area (pace, dribbling at pace, finishing, decision-making) Mbappe is world class, if not best in the world.

in the end we're disagreeing over something that will probably never happen, but there's no way Edu/Arteta would say no to Mbappe joining the club if it were realistically possible.

@thatdosbox @kuijun Yep, that's exactly it. We're building a TEAM not importing superstars.

It would blow the wages structure apart as well.

Nah Mitrovic would be better, can't imagine Mbappe happy getting benched by Eddie

[–] kuijun 1 points 1 year ago

he's the best player in the world atm. no way you would say no to that, even if the fit isn't ideal at first
