The difference between him and Mbappe is startling, not a slight on Kean, Mbappe is just something else but both European golden boys. Levels.

I'm sorry, but what? And I wanted Kean to get more opportunities.

But Kean isn't even Pulisic, who is in no where near the same stratosphere as Mbappe.

And i know pulisic plays a different role than them, but Kean isn't any where near either of them.

Edit- I'm just going to assume I'm missing the sarcasm or something.

I m sure the french, germans spanish and italians would say the same about the english premier. They could name top 6 and would be doing well to name 10.

Nonsense.

1. Grealish will cost far more than him, £80m plus.
2. Hes a Villa boy through and through, so certainly won’t leave for us.
3. We don’t need more midfielders.

I suspect that Carlo is thinking we need a new midfielder next window unless the real Andre Gomes shows himself.

Sell him and use the money to buy grealish

Just signed a new contract so unless villa get relegated he ain't going anywhere for 2 seasons. Besides I don't like his hair style. Anyway was hoping Mosie had kicked off the barn doors or something, has he?

No sarcasm, Kean was vaunted as the one of the hottest properties in world football prior to signing for us. I am just stating there are levels of ability and for two lads who were in the Golden Boy bracket their is still a huge difference. Nothing controversial there really.

Yeah, the difference between Messi and Sandro is pretty noticeable as well isn’t it?

That wasn't really the gist of my post, I was making a point about how good Mbappe was more than anything. I'm not sure why the faux outrage at this post, were they or were they not both in the Golden Boy category, all I am saying is Mbappe is different gravy and Kean should be looking hard at him.

Yeah I get ya, I just think for me this is abundantly obviously - Mbappe is light years ahead of most players in the world, and Kean (who struggled for starts, goals or any meaningful contributions in an Everton shirt) is clearly going to be way behind him.

Probably wait to see what Gbamin can do. Another DM yesterday would have been useful. But I take your point.

Let's see how this season goes. He'll get game time. And the kid is pretty intelligent. He speaks multiple languages so at some point he is going to learn about football

Are we now pretending the French league is decent ?

Just asking for future reference. I couldn’t name you 10 teams in the top division.

Surely that's more on you than on the league itself?

The standard is fine, PSG are miles ahead of everyone because they spend ridiculous money which kind of makes the league pretty worthless right now. You only have to look at the amount of players who are signed from France to see that it must be half decent.

Named in our squad for this season, weirdly.

That is weird. But the whole thing is weird. Weird that PSG want him, weird that he thinks he’ll get game time there. Weird that he is getting game time there.
