Lol no he isnt. Im a massive Messi fan and no doubt Messi at 35 has eased into being a playmaker. Neymar is fantastic so far but no doubt Mbappe is the main guy.


Mbappe became the main guy through politics, not his level of play.


Dude go look up his stats in all competitions and youll see how ridiculous your post is. Compare it with Messi and Neymar. Again i think Messi is the goat. He was decent last season. Mbappe is a beast.

When healthy, he absolutely is. He played with an injury most of last season & had to have surgery with a metal rod put into his foot. His QB also went down & was injured for a good chunk of the season. If he had someone like Pat Mahomes, Josh Allen or Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball every week, he'd be doing so much more damage & would be lighting up the league. This wouldn't even be a conversation. A lot depends on the QB as far as WR production goes. But he's such a physical freak.

All I'm saying is he gets favored by PSG by default so him being the main guy isn't much of an argument for him imo. He's undoubtedly a great player though.

At this point in time, Haaland is just a ruthless goal scorer, Mbappe is more well-rounded and can create for others.

Put Mbappe on Man City as the lone forward and he will score the same number of goals as Haaland. The concern is, Mbappe is playing selfishly and has developed a huge ego. PSG will not coexist with Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi. Despite all the talent, they actually hinder one another too much.

Right now there is a clear hierarchy in City with Haaland being the goalscorer, so it works. In PSG, it's completely different the chemistry is simply not there on the pitch. When PSG faces tougher competition in the UCL, you will see that lack of chemistry hurt them, too many egos and too many guys that think they should have the glory.

There is no way a man that big should be that lean AND that fast in a straight line. Lebron is an all time great athlete and perfect for basketball but DK is actually he-man


Tall @$$ Ronnie Coleman...yeah buddy
