He seems to deal with pressure pretty well. (So far).
Again, having Messi in your team takes pressured of you automatically.

Yes Bojan 07/08 season was really great probably even better than this Fati season. I read somewhere bach then that some coaches in La Masia considered him better than Messi but stilled failed to make it. He lacked that "aggressiveness" and eager to success. Im bit afraid Fati will lack the same. This is why after next year we can judge him better.

Yes, some rated Bojan higher at that time. His start was better too and he was always a better goal scorer at youth level.

Bojan was weak mentally, pressure got him. Fati by the looks of it seems very down to earth guy, but at this age you will never really know. What he has is intelligence and goal-scoring instincts. Those are really things you cannot learn or train for. Speed is overrated, there have been so many young speed-merchants, who are 1 injury away from losing what makes them special, technique is important, but without brains, you will end up like Deulofeu. And strength is something you can gain putting in hours in gym. I also do not see him in future as a winger, but he can be very effective attacker. There are plenty of forwards in the world, who have been massively successful without really being that skilled with ball on their feet.
Take Lewandowski for example. He never really takes the ball and then gets pass 3 defenders and scores wondergoals, he is not the fastest or the flashiest forward in the world. But he has strong mentality, really good eye for goal and intelligence, he knows where to be and when and what to do.

Barto said in his MD interview that Fati, Puig and Araujo are being promoted to the first team.
While Obviously Araujo and Puig are at that age that should be getting first team football, it's still crazy that Fati in a span of a year was still a juvenil A player and hasn't even played a official match with the B team is now going to be a first team player.

Its not about age, its about contribution. Age is what ruined football, buy inflated players due to their age/potential and not actual contribution in the current time

It's not age, it's just the younger guys have social media hype behind them. So social media overinflates their true worth in most cases. Social Media really is ruining everything. This thing is happening in all sports and other trades.

Bojan was a better finisher at his age than Fati or Messi but you could see his ceiling was limited and the mentality was suspect.
With Fati and Messi you see more potential, more relaxed and a stronger mentality.
Fati has a natural eye for goals and I see him as another Aguero.
He will move to a more central position in 3-4 years.

True he seems to have the eye of tiger. It's very rare.

I think he has learned a thing or two from Messi.
