I am going to say something that most people will probably disagree with, but - Mbappe is better than Neymar NOW.

If PSG got one good deal this is Mbappe. I am constantly impressed by not only his skills, but his mentality. No bitching and diving, makes passes even when he can go alone (that really destroys defences imho as they are caught between two minds) and a fantastic physique.

If he develops nicely - he would be the best player in the world before his 23rd year by a distance. Something Neymar never did.

Its not that crazy as Mbappe is a far better team player while he knows how to do everything a forward needs to do..
Its true that Neymar is special when you talk about his abilities.
I dont think Mbappe is better than Neymar right now as Neymar is a player that can drag a team on his own while Mbappe is an amazing player to complete a team.
Neymar for 250M was a very high price but he is still can develop further
Mbappe for 180M was a steal as he has a very high ceiling and so many years to play - He should have cost at least as much as Neymar..

In any case if I get an opportunity to pick one for our Juve I`d definitely pick Mbappe even if Neymar can do things on his own there are other things to consider such as team harmony personality and etc..
P.S They say Real want 250M Kane but I see him going to PSG after Neymar goes to Real (both are great BTW)

Honestly, I actually liked Paredes when he was at Roma.

His technical ability is great, he just lacks grinta and concentration which is why he couldn’t get in Roma’s starting eleven.

I wouldn’t mind him here tbh.
Yes and no.. Paredes is good but there are other players I would rather get before thinking of Paredes

@Orgut - that is what I don't like about Neymar. "He does things on his own."
Against Real Madrid - we saw what he did on his own - he should have been sent off for diving like a prick. It makes very little sense for a player to go past 2-3 defenders and never look for a teammate, Neymar has very little football intelligence in general. Ronaldo (the real one) could do it, but he had the strength of a true No9 and could play alone on top.

Mbappe created the PSG goal by taking someone 1on1, while looking for a better position to create a dangerous pass. Neymar just takes people on for the fun of it, goes to the byline and tries something like a cut-back while no one is there. And no one is there, because no one expects him to pass or even look for a teammate.

Beppe having an eye for unknown players @zizinho ::lol3::
He was not unknown, in fact was desired by some teams, but notbing out of the ordinary, until he came here and became VIDAL. So kudos to beppe for that.

Haha you love to nitpick words to make arguments, dont you?

%100 sure it wasn't him.
Ah well since he was in charge of rebuilding that summer, i assume he had something to do with it. Maybe im wrong

Neymar has almost the same youtube mentality as pogba. The difference is that neymar is an attacker and has more offensive skill than pogs, so his chances of pulling his shid is way higher than the french. But both are egotistical bastards.

Haha. No.

But Vidal already was a beast when we signed him.

Nothing out of the ordinary :howler:
Tells me that you haven't seen him til he came to Juventus.

If you wanna kudos, kudos :delpiero:Rudi Völler for not selling him to Bayern.

:agree:

He had beasted around the Bundesliga being a goal/assist-machine in his last season and been an important of Chile's national team.
