19 - Lamine Yamal

[DonAK]

Not worried about his pace, but for god's sake get a good 1v1, quick LW on the other side so both flanks are useful.

Leao Joking, impossible... 💰

But honestly, Gavi + a very offensive Cancelo would work. Than we play 3 in the back and we have Araoujo, Cubarsi, Christiansen, Kounde (and maybe Faye?) for those positions. Raphinha can play both LW and RW as backup/rotation. We would only need a really solid DM and very soon replace Lewa. With a solid coach and 1-2 more gems from La Masia we would be set

But who could we signe with our VERY limited budget for LW anyway? Nico just signed a new contract didn't he? Adeyami, Savio, Mitoma - hell, we don't have any cash for either of them except maybe Savio.

[Horatio]

Good idea. Will get it.

Boy that no. 10 looks good under his name. Legendary shirt.

 

[CatalinR10]

Wow.

 

[TheStig]

He will get it but it's probably too soon.

You are always saying the numbers don't matter, what's the problem then?

 

[Messi983]

They don't matter for me but they do for most fans and players.

 

[DonAK]

Let him wait a couple of years lol.
Give it to Gundogan or someone good as a placeholder until then.

As for Yamal I need him to be a bit more selfish at times and go for the shot.

Too early for no.10, he'll get it in few years. The number carries a lot pressure - Fati and Pedri couldn't handle the expectations with their respective numbers, one way or another.

La Liga squad rules allow assigning numbers from 1 to 25. Lamine is registered as Barca B player with 27 and that will change next season. Probably... His current rookie 1.5m contract is one of the lowest (btw Fermin is at the bottom with 250k) and I don't expect any drama with his inclusion in the main squad this summer.

He can take it, he will take it, asap
