I would argue that he actually needs a transfer. The move to Madrid has been a disaster for both him and Madrid. They needed a striker and he wants to play left wing but isn’t currently better than Vini. Send him to United, Newcastle or even the Saudi league and he can reinvigorate his career somewhat. But him reaching the heights he promised looks impossible now, which is a shame.
no no. I understand the frustration. This is his second consecutive bad year but he’s clearly not lost it. You can see when a player is over, the way they move, their physicality, the decision making. Like the final 2-3 years of Marcelo, that’s a player who’s done.
Mbappe is doing terrible especially for the money he’s being paid. And I’ll be the first to say I didn’t want him here AT ALL. HATED his signing. But this is not how squad building goes. You don’t invest over a 100m on a player to discard him 15 games into the season.
He’ll find his form sooner or later. Hopefully its sooner. Maybe he doesn’t hit his career peak but that doesn’t mean he can’t be a great player and a definite nonetheless.
I just hope the club doesn’t do anything reactionary. Luckily we haven’t been reactionary for a while now.
