Was that FDJ’s heat map mirroring a left winger?? What is Valverde up to?

Todibo was one of the better defenders in pre-season. Seems his reward for that is a spot in the stands.

I think it needs to be recognised...or remembered that it was Dembele who got us up the pitch to create that chance in the first place. Probably the only player in the whole squad capable of doing that too. It was a poor miss. But the embarrassing performance at Anfield was nothing to do with...

For what it’s worth, he was rubbish yesterday. But where are the attacking patterns? There’s no cohesion or defined style. The team is so poorly coached.

Alba hasn’t developed under EV. He’s the same player he’s always been. Lenglet has been ok, but I’d say looked pretty underwhelming in the more important games. He hasn’t actually improved anyone. Most are stagnating or have regressed.

Messi aside, no one plays well under Valverde. He isn’t the sort of manager that a player like Dembele will develop under.

Does anyone play well under him? Messi. But Messi is Messi.

And it was only recently that he changed his tune, because before that he was saying he was overrated and that we should go for Raibot instead.

I love him already.

I’d be surprised if he goes anywhere. It seems that he’s not particularly keen on leaving anyway, even if the club has allegedly put him on the market. Additionally, the sort of clubs who could pay his salary and/or he would be interested in going to, won’t be in interested in him. Perhaps...

Someone with the profile of Pogba would be perfect to complete the FDJ-Arthur trio. He’s such a good all rounder - good physicality, technique, passing range, goal scorer and doesn’t get bullied. He’s inconsistent but his skill set would compliment the midfield excellently. He’s quite unique...

Valverde in danger of making a logical and progressive decision.

I agree. 30m would be a good return. I can’t see any clubs linked with him though?

I like Betis, but I feel it’s a strange move. Lyon are a better side. And Betis are likely to be losing their best players (Lo Ceslo, Firpo) shortly. So he’s either crocked, or has fallen out with Lyon and Betis were the only suitors.

Alana isn’t coming.

Neymar is arguably the best winger in the world - if you do not identify Messi as a winger. If he is your benchmark, then you set yourself up for disappointment. I remember plenty bemoaning his performances here too, particularly in his early seasons - and Neymar for his age was about as...

NO player has improved under Valverde. It’s Messi or nothing. He’s had two seasons blighted by injury under a crap coach. Why do you think you are fans on other forums begging their clubs to sign him? Why do you think Tuchel is desperate to work with him again? Why do Bayern, Liverpool + PSG...

Pretty much every club in the world would jump at the opportunity to have Dembele. That’s why Liverpool, PSG, Bayern etc have been strongly linked with him. Yet we have a couple of idiots on here who want rid because a 22 year old winger is inconsistent in his performances and decision making...

Wasn’t really keen on Griezmann coming (even though I think he’s a good player), but hopefully he’ll help Dembele. French compatriots and all that.

I fully expect Dembele to be on the bench, which is why I said we’ll have the slowest front line in amongst the top teams in Europe. It’s painful to compare it to a side like Liverpool, City, etc who have pace and movement in abundance. No doubt it’ll look good against the likes of Levante...
