Arbs doesn’t have the authority to bench Mbappe and Vini. The most he could probably do is bench Rodrygo, which is a terrible idea given his good form. He’ll probably back on the bench while the attack regresses back to garbage spacing with GG getting minutes when the stars want to get subbed out.
Without Mbappe: 10 goals in 797 mins With Mbappe : 0 goals in 574 mins Also, take away penalties and Mbappe and Gonzalo have the same minutes per goal ratio in the league. 129 minutes per goal.
Next year its either him or endrick..I like both but not sure anybody has chance against Mbappe in commercial means.

I think the likely plan is bringing back Endrick which I disagree with and selling Gonzalo with a buyback clause. If he leaves, I hope he goes to Arsenal or Inter
The guy missed a sitter against barca and one game later against a relegation side all is forgotten and now he's better than previous proven players. Some of you are mentally unbalanced. This type and up and down can't be healthy and it can't be limited to just this website.
Some stupid people on this forum are so negative and cant support their own players. They are such hypocrites and did I mention they are so stupid? Am I doing this right?
I think both him and Endrick can be in the same squad. Endrick can play both CF and RW with Rodrygo's injury Endrick will get minutes. Im sure Matsatonto will be loaned out.
Game was 2-0 when he missed that. By the way he had a goal and an assist against Barca earlier this season, in the Supercopa.
Commenting and being vague on anonymous people contradicting each other on the internet can't be mentally healthy either.
I hope he leaves the club for his own sake, go to a place where he can just play and be a professional football player and cut ties with this mess. No buyback, just save yourself while you can.
Why Borja is an experienced and more seasoned version of him. Doesn't add up unless you want his experience to be just for future like R9 in 94.

This is something that I heard of a lot. Apparently some teams have even invited foreign players that don't play in the world cup/didnt get called up by their team to be practice players. Fascinating how much football coaches copy from the nfl. I remember Dieter Hecking saying that the future of football has a defensive and an offensive coordinator in it. People laughed but multiple coaches are pushing things in that direction. With certain players you also benefit from having them in action in case of injury so you can get them in as replacements.
