You saw how strong Real are without Benzema and Mendy. Their squad isn't that strong, they just have some star players that carry their games. Mbappe would fit with that theme I guess.They have better GK, better fullbacks(overall), CBs maybe we're even, midfield we have a bit of an edge on the starters(but their starters have experience in the biggest games) but they currently have likes of Camavinga and Valverde on bench, they have the better attack and a realiable match winner in Benzema.
So they are better right now. Imagine if they get Mbappe on a free and still have 100-200m to splash on other players. They might even get Pogba on a free.
Many in here are sold on the story that if we started the season with current squad and manager we would have been top of the table. Which is not true considering Real walked at their own pace without being pushed by anyone in the league.
I don't think Pogba would improve their midfield much. Maybe he finds another level but based on his last year he wouldn't be any better than what they have now.
