I mean, I get that we're on a Barca fan forum, but that doesn't mean people have to be blind either. First of all, you might want to check Ronaldo's stats and accomplishments from when he was 17 to 19. And then compare them to Mbappe's. Saying that he was "twice the player" Mbappe is at the...

Hard to say, they all sucked pretty big time. Tielemans clearly failed to impress since he arrived, even when the team was doing ok. But all in all, there are a lot of flaws in that group of players: - Too many good players were sold without proper replacement (you can't strike gold every year...

Yup, you're right.

And which ratio is that ? The "meh striker per 3rd best player in the world" ratio ? Denilson got sold 4 times the price Juve paid for Zidane (Europa league finalist, France's playmaker, already one of the most promising midfielder in the world). Neymar got sold 2,5 times more than what Utd paid...

I don't believe he was worth twice the price, but I do believe he was worth much more. But more importantly, if Lukaku was worth 90 millions, then Neymar was definitely worth 220 millions.

You can't seriously believe that Pogba was "very comparable to Neymar" when he got sold. He got 15th and 14th place for Ballon d'Or in 2015 and 2016. And he's a CM, not a striker or a winger. Neymar ended up 3rd twice, he was one of the best players during the 2014 WC and was a well established...

Yeah but you're not taking into account WHO the player is. Pogba was a good and marketable young player. He wasn't one of the best in the world at all. Neymar was the 3rd best player in the world, a trophy winner playing for the best team in Europe. This pure mathematical argument would stand if...

Your post is reasonable enough. But reading some people here, you kinda think that PSG broke a market that was perfectly rational and wasn't inflating out of proportion. As you said, Ronaldo was bought 94 millions euros. Back then, he was a Ballon d'Or winner, he just won the UCL, and was...

Out of La Coupe De France after an humiliating defeat against a second div side (leader of their division, but still...). Lots of injuries, but still...

A player's career can flop for thousands of reasons. Doesn't mean the player sucks. Poor career choices, bad management, injuries... But thinking a pro player who's widely regarded as one of the best of his generation in terms of technical skills lack "the basics of football" is just pure...

BBZ's eye test told him that Dembele lacked the vert basics of football. So... Yeah. Also, who told you that no team were interested in getting Malcom exactly? And how much did Barca pay for Denis Suarez exactly again? I mean, if all you have is "teams are willing to buy Suarez but not Malcom"...

Yeah, every Rescue agencies are basically saying that there's no chance they're still alive. If the plane had managed to land somewhere, they would have been found. If it crashed on water, it sunk in around 2 hours (and in 10-11°C water, without any equipment, you're dead in an hour, two at...

This article is 6 years old though. Not saying it's not true anymore, just pointing that out.

Don't know exactly where I'm supposed to post that, but apparently the plane carrying Emiliano Sala (former Bordeaux striker from Argentina) from Nantes to Cardiff (who just bought him for 20 millions) has disappeared. Was supposed to land monday night, absolutely no news from it. A search party...

Mate, you're trying to argue that the opposite of "serie A and Bundesliga are a tier above Ligue 1" is "ligue 1 is better than Bundesliga and Serie A". You're completely forgetting that it can simply be "Bundesliga and Serie A are NOT a tier above Ligue 1". They're very different leagues...

Datas you're providing with Ueda rankings are based on teams... playing European competitions. It's not an indication on the general level of the league. And once again, go check the leagues ratings over the past 4 years. Ligue 1 outperformed Bundesliga and Série A at least once over the past 3...

There's a huge difference between starting in a good line-up every 3 games and starting 2 games in 3 months, with a B team in which everybody looks poor. Malcom proved against Inter that he could be useful, and wasn't rewarded at all. Then he had the incredible luck two months later to start...

Maybe they got confused and thought about Luuk de Jong's father ?

I don't understand your post. You're answering to people talking about Serie A/Ligue 1 by saying "EPL and La Liga are better !". Well, duh doy, you didn't need to make a full post about it if that's what you meant. Now, if you're trying to argue that Ligue 1 is far behind Serie A, then your...

I get what you mean about each player's ceiling, but saying that the perception "changed since the world cup" is wrong. Mbappe is a year and a half younger than Dembele. He scored his first goal in Ligue 1 just after turning 17. Scored his first hat trick in Ligue 1 at 18. His first goal in C1...
