Erling Haaland

Nah I don't think so, Eto'o was much more of a warrior and a killer in front of goal.
Mbappe is fast and pretty technical, I think he still has some hype from when he was so young. His style is closer than Haalands to Barcelonas but he's not a perfect fit, and I don't think he can decide a game on his own like Haaland can. Maybe on a free transfer and (at the most) a Dembele wage it would be worth it, but that wouldn't be the case obviously...

For me to want anything else than a striker able to play as a midfielder, he really needs to be a great, great striker, even more so when Barcelona already have the GOAT wandering about and playing on inspiration.

Don't be silly.

Mbappe can decide games on his own and would be worth a high fee and salary for any club.

By the way, out of curiosity, do you post on r/barca on reddit?

He can decide games, but not enough to warrant the price or the negatives that would come with using him instead of a more midfielder type of player, I think. I don't want him.
No I don't post there.

What exactly do you mean when you want to use a midfielder type of player. You want to use a player like that as a forward/striker instead of an actual forward?

Didn’t have a lot of touches in the first half and missed a couple of chances, nevertheless he was impactful and did OK, in my opinion. He was dangerous whenever he had the ball.

If you don't have a great finisher who can decide the game on his own, you may as well play someone like Foden or Fabregas there, or an attacker like Villa or Rooney who is good enough on the ball and in combinations and doesn't try to force the finish everytime, and who also run a lot and unselfishly.
Mbappe is more of a winger the way I see it, but I don't think he's good enough to make it worth going for him there either.

He needs service and if he doesn't have it, he is really isolated and can't do anything. And again his touches are not the best.
