Is cuatro a reliable source? Wouldn't be surprised if it's all BS. Bartomeu has the Catalan media in his pocket.

I know, he is almost definitely going to finish his career without the world cup. There will be people who will still class him as the GOAT, using examples like you can't judge a career on 4 weeks of football every 4 years etc, but you'll also get people saying the world cup is the biggest...

Even if he did that, he wouldn't be the undisputed GOAT. The only way he would become that is if he won the world cup. If he retired today, he is still a top 3 contender along with Pele and Maradona.

Must be killing you that the majority of football fans around the world rate Messi above CR7 🤣

I was talking about his whole career. But as in my reply to serghei, the reason CR7 has been able to perform better overall the last 6-7 years was because he had an excellent team perfectly suited to him, just like we had for Messi earlier on in his career. If he was capable of winning the...

You'll still get deluded guys saying LeBron is better 😂

Exactly. That's what doesn't sit right with me, when Ronaldo fans bring up he has more CL's and has scored more, it's as if he has beat Messi whereas his team have been better on more occasions. Individually, Messi has been better than Ronaldo.

It's not as simple as that. Our midfield has lacked any creativity since xavi and iniesta declined/left so around 5 years now. Messi has had to take the role of main creator and goalscorer. You can't underestimate the importance of help. It's why juve haven't been able to go past the quarters...

I'm starting to wonder why gerd Muller isn't in people's top 10 of all time. The guy has won everything at both club and international level plus his goalscoring record is almost a goal a game. If you argue that he is just a goalscorer, that's pretty much what CR7 has been since he moved to...

That's the thing, in 2015 Lucho wasn't trying to play like pep. He saw the club from the outside and probably decided it needs to change, so he made the team more direct.

Kroos is not near xavi's level. The bigger mistake was getting fabregas instead of modric.

Kroos is a better player than rakitic individually, but rakitic was perfect for what the team needed at the time and bought balance to right side along with Messi and Dani. Basically doing a water carrier role, something kroos wouldn't be able to do.

My bad. I thought he had a hand in the transfer.

He did make the rakitic signing when he arrived, along with Suarez. Rakitic was a good signing though at the time, people forget how good he was in the treble season. Problem is his legs were gone after that season after working so hard.

Lucho isn't blame free regarding the current state of the team. Season after the treble his next signings were Arda Turan, aleix Vidal, Andre gomes, Paco alcacer and Lucas digne. None of them had any impact.

You guys shouldn't worry too much about his legacy. It will be intact as long our generation are alive. Honestly, the only people that rate Pele, are the ones from his generation or people that don't know anything about football. Loads of people these days say pele wouldn't be anything special...

Tennis is the worst comparison. If you lose its all in you, whereas in football you can be the best player on the pitch and still be on the losing team. Basketball has 10 players on the court at a time, one player can make much more difference than one out of 22.

It's to be expected with this board. I don't know how long pjanic's contract is, but if it's until he's 34-35, we'll be in the same position with him after a couple of years as with the other oldies. Idiots never learn.

The system could work well for us with Messi as the false 9. Tadic played the role really well last season, but he had VDB, ziyech and neres always moving around and making runs in behind. Anything will be better than how we're playing now anyway.

Yeah. Called up for the 1st team. His price would have sky rocketed now if he didn't have only a year left on his contract
