He had a great World Cup, of course. But we are talking club football and we have a much greater sample size in his last years with Barca and couple seasons with PSG in how he copes at club level. Whilst individual stats were good, the reality is we are 12 points ahead without him and PSG have...

7 goals, with 5 penalties taken... Is it him or was it his team for winning the penalties?

So motivated that they miss all their chances every time.

Having Dembele, Messi, Lewa should be enough to just blow away Liga teams on sheer quality alone. I can't see us getting that much worse in Liga with him unless Madrid significantly upgrade their team. The question is does he improve us for the big wages and independence/importance he is going...

Having him back would be an awesome historical moment and seeing him play with people like Dembele, Lewandowski, Pedri, De Jong with their big growth since he left will probably produce us some historic wins and fantastic showings at times. But make no mistake, he is not coming for a...

Of course it will... he isn't playing for free. If we sign him we most definitely have zero extra room for another big signing and will mean that the two star attackers of the squad, Messi and Lewandowski, will be retired in one or two years. That is extremely risky.

Canales said yesterday that he thought Lahoz planned to send him off before the game (referring to the incident with him at the start of the season). He just got a 4 game ban for that 6 months after already being sent off for asking why the refs put some amount of added time. Yet some referees...

Might have been true back then. Fati used to be more rapid and took people on much more often. Has been damaged by injuries a lot. Really not sure about that second paragraph tho loool

As I mentioned in my first post. I wouldn't say Gavi has great balance though, he is constantly on the floor. He has top tier stamina but not great in other athletic sections.

Some players out there don't even get into B tier teams like Netherlands or Morocco. If this is the kind of team Spain's putting out then there is no hope for the domestic league either. When LaLiga was the best the national team was extremely strong.

Level of Spanish talent has fallen this far yet people will still tell you LaLiga isn't declining at all and on par with the PL.

A lot of 'big' names, but make a front 3 out of them and it's not very impressive is it? Whereas Arsenal for example got something like Martinelli-Jesus-Saka that is better than any front 3 out of those guys.

Heart and being a pitbull and passionate is not athleticism. Its admirable but he is not an amazing athlete, he is decent at best in that department.

Araujo and Balde are on a different level to Gavi athletically and not even comparable. The other two are very fast, robust and strong. Gavi is none of those but does have a good tank.

Not convinced the squad is as good as you're saying to be honest. Guys like Muller, Gnabry, Mane had their best days 5 years ago, but you'll name them as top players when in reality been really poor for them for a while. Let's see what Tuchel does with them but I doubt he'll do better than...

Just me or is this thread not updating with new posts when you go on it?

Gavi is not really a physically talented player. He's small, slow and weak. It's not exactly a star athlete that you are portraying him as. His talent physically is that he has a ton of energy and inexhaustible tank but compared to an athlete like Balde is light years away and wouldn't say he is...

The way you make Gavi out it's as if he is some super athlete. He's not. His upside physically is he's very energetic and has a lot of stamina but other than that, he's small weak and slow. Someone like Balde who you are comparing him to is incredible physically. Strong, fast and explosive and...

Barcaman gave the kiss of life to barcaforum.com. We are back. Revived from the dead. With that it has to be mentioned, wtf are Bayern thinking firing Nagelsmann....???? That is one of the craziest sackings of recent years. Guy won 6 times out of 6 vs Barca/Inter/PSG and conceded 0 goals in...

Luftstalag14 Because his vice president of referees father doesn't need to be involved in the transaction if we are paying for refereeing reports from his son (as other clubs have done to him specifically). His own statements and our attempts to conceal the payment only solidify that suspicion...
