Not sure we have the funds to spend 50mil on a 16 year old talent. We have areas we need to prioritize instead, we need to get Busquets replacement right the first time. RB as well. If we got those areas settled and got 50mil lying around then sure. Say we sell Torres at a huge loss just to...

It all depends on what kind of DM we bring in as well. If we somehow land a quick, mobile DM we could afford to have two attacking oriented fullbacks since the DM would be able to cover way easier than Busquets. With Xavi playing two wide wingers, I dont think we need two attacking fullbacks...

Not familiar with this player, only seen videos. I originally wanted Frimpong as our attacking FB, but with Balde showing he is up to the task, he can fill that role and we should sign a defensively strong RB instead of Frimpong (who has had a great start to this season btw). If Porro is that...

What are you three whining about. Players shield with their back with arms out all the time. It isnt intentional or in a defensive position capable of being a handball.

Dont care if he's young and it's Elche, he should be our number 1 choice and given most games to continue to develop. He has the physical abilities and IQ to be what we need him to be. Now to sign a proper RB who can defend first, attack second. The difficult part will be keeping 4 in form...

They are still pretending not to be wrong about Haaland 😂 It would be less embarrassing if they werent also wrong about 90% of the other things they post about!

Yo Haaland has no skill and is just a tap in merchant. He'll struggle to score in the EPL!!! 😎

We played okay. Most of the team is new, so I'm hopeful. One thing that has nothing to do with the players though at this point is how Xavi is managing the midfield. They are all miles away from eachother and there is always a hole where our DM should be, or a CM should be dropping back for...

He's just strolling around. Let the man be. Like I've said countless times. Teams counter us straight down the middle, and that is because of Busquets is, and has been a liability for half a decade.

Individually he actually did pretty well, poor finishing though. I have to agree, he was playing with the left wing non existent due to Torres. I hoped Torres would improve, but so far he continues his trend from last season, gradually worsening to the point of being awful.

Ex players love circle jerking. Rafa just blowing some off. It's his turn soon.

I couldnt resist asking because he appeared a bit slow on the ball to me too. A quick first 2-3 steps with acceleration, but slower when entering a sprint. Not many slow wide wingers make it in the modern game. If he has enough tricks and is a good finisher, there could be hope. Usually even...

The problem is he often baits tackles looking for the foul and he gets disposed cleanly, then falls on the ground pretending like he got shot in the face. When the ref doesnt buy it, he leaves the defense at risk and often in dangerous positions. The sad part is he often does this when he has...

I would of taken 30mil for Torres and ran. I just dont see him improving or ever being the type of player Dembele and Raphinha are. And if we need a player to play more inside, Fati has proven much better and he's operating at 50% capacity still.

I was really hoping to see a lot more of him. He had some clever moments in preseason, especially considering they were his first true moments playing with the team.

I read that he doesnt have great pace, can anyone that follows La Masia comment on his speed?

I'm glad he had a good game, but as I said, it doesnt change the fact that he was not present most of the end of the season into preseason and the beginning of this season. His work rate and fighter mentality was never in doubt, it's a question of where else does he excel and offer the team. He...

Roberto and Alba are both not strong defensively though. I said two attacking or two defensive fullbacks is too much. One attacking (Balde) and one more defensive (Kounde) is what I prefer. Balde has just been a bit more safe due to being young and trying to not make mistakes, but we've seen...

He scored 15 goals in 13 games in the CL with Dortmund. Why would he not be able to do that with a far superior team in Man City? Most successful teams in the past have that 9 in the box that commands multicoverage and can score out of nowhere. City hasnt had that until now, and they also have...

To be fair, that defending was absolutely horrific...
