He had that insane streak when he first joined Madrid. I think it created insane expectations or unrealistic ones. He was never that good.

Yeah, but anyone who sees football beyond stats can see he isn't that good. And the stats are drying up now.

He's loved by guys who have homoerotic mancrushes too. He's clearly mediocre defensively as his positioning is suspect, but guys like Gato and Temptation think he must be great defensively because he's tall with a six pack and runs around. It's wild.

Vitinha and Neves are much better than him defensively despite being half his size. That's because they're better at pressing, intercepting, and have better positional sense.

Every time Real Madrid play against a team their equal or better Bellingham gets found out.

Tbh Mbappe is a better player than Vini and Bell. It isn't Mbappe specifically, it's trying to shoehorn all these guys in. If you are gonna have a balanced system but have one world-class gamechanger I'd always have Mbappe as my wild card over those other two.

I am not even that big a fan of Mbappe, but the other two have been awful for ages.

They need to punt Vini to Saudi or something. That would fix one issue. None of the Madrid fans would keep Vini over Mbappe.

Vini is a quality player but he's been poor for a while. I also think he's quite limited in that he can only really play wide left and cut in and shoot. At least Mbappe shows variety by going down the middle etc. I also consider him a better finisher than Vini.

Maybe, but it's only a counterbalance to the incessant hype that has always surrounded the kid.

But yeah, two wrongs don't make a right.

I don't have anything in particular against him, I just don't like his profile of player. A moments player masquerading as a midfielder won't work in modern football. Guys like Neves and Vitinha will dominate him all the time.

We need to sign the guy/lady/media who hypes up Real players. We could sell our players for double or triple prices.. let's do it.

Real does know how to market their players.

They are both genuine central midfielders though. Bellingham is a number 10. He's much closer to Gerrard than a Modric type player. He will never be picked for an ability to control a game as it's not his strength.
