It's a useful resource if you don't know much about the leagues/teams in question and need a basic guideline but in some cases it is badly wrong and especially when it comes to the big clubs, who consistently have their players value inflated. We know the Barca squad well enough to not have to...

Aguero and Dembele :lol::lol: You can't accept the reality they just have a better XI than us. Aguero, Dembele, Depay are big names but that doesn't make them top players. That this is a list of our best players is kind of pitiful and sad. And you haven't mentioned at all that we are starting...

What world-class players do we have? We arguably have one in Frenkie who has had mixed performances and Ansu/Pedri borderline. Luuk De Jong, Braithwaite, Demir, Garcia, washed Pique, Dest, Mingueza, these are all players who have played a lot of minutes for us so far and half of them wouldn't...

Transfermarkt is the most stupid way of rating squads. Knowing what we know about these teams we have no reason to use such a shit measurement. Gavi doesn't have a transfermarkt value and Lenglet is worth 22m but one is barely making the bench and one is starting. Most of our 'deadwoods' that...

He is in poor physical condition because didn't train for months when his deal expired + Gavi and Nico were briefly in B. Should play much more now.

When you are playing as a midfielder at the highest level eg against Atletico, Italy and other world-class teams the expectation is that you progress the ball and don't make mistakes. At 17 to do this in such high-level games is amazing and it's not something many midfielders can do consistently...

Laporta said we have enough money to sign a 'big star' next summer. But can't afford to sack Koeman Joker lol

Well we would say that wouldn't we, that if players are good enough the club will promote them, but obviously the club doesn't often make good decisions else the forum wouldn't be arguing about our shitty squad planning all day. Homegrown Konrad was let go for Demir. Now we don't have wingers...

Pedri and Gavi on the wings is really bad for me unless they are fake wingers.

Well it's normal he would be angry. He allegedly got a cast-iron promise from Laporta he'd sign the CVC deal and at the last hour pulls out, making Tebas's planned deal with a partner collapse as one of the biggest brands in Spain pulled out and on top led to Messi leaving the league. With all...

Summed it up great

Funny how everyone going crazy over Busquets having a decent game in Nations League hates on Griezmann seeing what he did and does with France n I don't even like griezmann

Puig more of an AM for me/playmaking CM. Gavi a b2b imo so two very different profiles.

Every footballer has their optimal weight, the balance of speed and quickness and strength and power. Not everyone is a Lukaku and can weigh 90kg and be lightning quick. Those are rare physical specimens. Size obv won't be the defining factor of his career but when I look at him that is the...

I like the idea of a loan. Put him in a serious first-division team where they won't let you play until you are at a good level of fitness and he'll quickly trim down.

Nico needs to start with a clean slate and fix his physique, ideally in Barca B or out on loan. The coaches have kept adding pounds to him since Juvenil days and he went from a lanky lean kid to being nearly 90kg and looking like he's barely able to move. I firmly believe that's a big reason why...

Gavi has a lot to work on on both sides of the ball (as any 17 year old needs) but his foundation as a 17 year old is very good, with good attitude, workrate and defensive contribution already part of his skillset which is not the case with many youths, especially La Masia ones. Who are usually...

We literally never produce midfielders like this that are 'box-to-box'. If anything I'd hope he can maybe grow a inch or two and put on some muscle and he could be a great DM in the future. Need players like him at DM not rocks that never move.

Was scrolling through La Masia accounts talking about him, comparing him to Thiago and Isco and I'm like... that's just not what I'm seeing lol. He seems like a combative aggressive midfielder that gets into a lot of duels and works hard defensively.

Looks like to me he isn't really the weak technical midfielder people have claimed he is. He looks more like a b2b to me. Every time I watch in the positives I'm taking away is workrate and duels. He is a good passer but nothing crazy. He may actually be a more defensive player. Seems to excel...
