It seems to me that what BBZ is envisioning is Luis Enrique 14/15 style football. It's possible with the new additions in attack (Dembele and Malcom, also Coutinho) - but I don't believe Valverde sees things the same way. As many others have mentioned: he is a "play it safe" manager. In the...

Great rebuttal, I agree with your post. This, however, isn't "nonsense". Ronaldo's ability to always snatch key goals, especially when his team is losing, is something to behold in itself. How often have we seen Real Madrid and Portugal players with their heads hanging low and then Ronaldo...

I think the players need to have a minimum amount of awereness here. If you intend to join another club in 1-2 years, negotiate a better deal than the 4-year contract you're being offered. I don't think the Dembele situation is the most extreme example here, as he's a young player who's...

If anything, it's the other way around. You don't want to stay with a club for the next 5 years? Don't sign a 5 year contract then. I see more of a "always go for the higher bidder irregardless of your current situation with your club" at the moment, and I think it's hurting football. Of course...

21 and we're already hearing about him being injured time and time again... can we still pull out of this deal? Jokes aside, any chance we'll get him in the summer? Arriving in January really ruined the full impact Coutinho could have had this season - and I'm afraid if Arthur arrives in...

I think people generally have higher expectations for Dembélé because of the astounding season he played for Dortmund last year and, unfortunately, because of the price that we got him for. Unlike Quaresma, who scored 5 goals in the Portuguese League the season before he joined Barca, Dembélé...

I hope he starts today, in LCM position.

No, we despise them. Most of it comes down to our insecurity about being the little brother.

Will he leave us for Bayern Munich one day?

When is he gonna debut? Am excited.

That pass was intended for Iniesta just the way he played it, you would think after all these years people here understood who we're dealing with :messi:

Possibly playing his best season for us so far? At least as far as attacking goes. I can't however shake the concern that he'll be absolutely burnt out by May. All those attacking runs are going to show its toll once we hit the crucial part of the season (if we advance significantly in the CL...

Happy to have him. A quick-thinking, somewhat robust runner is going to be needed to fill in that midfield spot behind our attack-line next season. Coutinho, Messi, Suarez - and to a certain extent also Dembele - are going to leave a vacuum behind that first line of pressing that they'll...

King of kids maybe.

Am I the only one who feels that he played with about 30-40% effort? Amazing.

Beautiful history lesson by BBZ8800.

Ronaldo doesn't count in that list, at least not for the reasons that are being discussed here.

:lol: I got fooled by that one too. It's the match vs South Africa however.

Someone post a "Neymar vs Iraq" compilation please

Have you guys noticed how he's gotten buffer? Packed on some mass and some muscle in the back and neck area Looking like Ronaldo in the summer of 2009
