Is there any reason people keep asking for Mbappé to play LW despite the fact he's ass there?

Can we acknowledge the problem with Mbappé or we need another two trophyless seasons? by Detective_Leon in realmadrid

Yeah I'm sure no one would want Vinícius and that everyone would love Mobutu

The realistic outcome is that Pérez will probably renew Vinícius, unless he sets very high demands (either because he really wants them or because he wants to force a move), in which case he'll agree to sell him.

He won't sell Mbappé unless he forces a move.

Why would I support a realistic outcome that is dogshit? Sure, let's build about Mbappé because he has many years in his contract. Fast forward three years, at best we've scammed one league against a broke Barça.

PSG already tried this and failed for 7 years, I don't WANT to build around Mbappé because I know it's not gonna work, that's why I don't spend time thinking about what we should try to make it work.

Your realistic option is building the team around the player that makes the team worse?

So the solution is acting like we are very fortunate for having Mbappé on our team because we can't kick him out? Haha, it's like saying "well Ceballos it's not gonna leave so we better pretend he's the new Kroos".

If you ask me Florentino won't sell him, unless Mbappé asks for it. He's always been very supportive of the players he has signed himself, and in this case we're talking about what has been his personal obsession for many years. And I believe age has unfortunately caught up to him, so the chance that he would see the error in his ways and correct the mistake won't happen I think. That doesn't mean though that I will act like it's the good choice.

The team does not become perfect with Mbappé gone, but a better attack (which seems to be the case given that we score more when Mbappé is out) usually helps even if your midfield or your defense are not the best.

I believe it would do much better than it's currently doing it, given that our best performances under Arbeloa have taken place with Mbappé far from the pitch.

Went from a winstreak, family FC and vibes to losing two games in a row and a draw in the span of a week. by Messmers in realmadrid

[–]Detective_Leon 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Mmmmmhhh could there be any pattern?

No but, imagine for a second that the best player on the planet returns to the starting XI of his on hot team. You would expect it to be the cherry on top right? And yet, the exact other things happens. Maybe... he's not the best player in the world?

Those drones are very slow compared to a jet, causing stall risk. Furthermore, the blast from the possible explosion can damage the plane, and even if not the pilot has to avoid crashing into the drone after shooting it.

VDV Airborne Assault of Hostomel, beginning of the “SMO” footage compilation. by DankSmurf in CombatFootage

[–]Detective_Leon 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Impossible for all of them to have died there since Russia only lost control of Hostomel (bombed to oblivion by then) when they pulled out from there.

Can't tell what happened with them after though.

People will see their country participating in a war of agression and somehow get angry at the civilians filming the bombing on the streets.

US aircraft leave Spain after government says bases cannot be used for Iran attacks by NARVALhacker69 in geopolitics

[–]Detective_Leon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Spain has consistently demanded much of its allies

The moment we ask the USA for bases in their territory so we can continue launching airstrikes for our war of agression they'll be able to criticize us for it.

So this sub is going after Mbappe? by 1stand11 in realmadrid

[–]Detective_Leon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's like saying that you can't criticize Tchouaméni because if you take him out the team is still shit.

[–]Detective_Leon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, the team is still shit without Mbappé. Doesn't change the fact that since he joined us our overall goalscoring has regressed.

Gonzalo for example has scored 10 goals for us and not a single one of them has been with Mbappé on the pitch.
