1? - Lamine Yamal

[kattanib]

The two qualities that made Messi stand out among the rest, and no one will fill that gap until they adopt the same mindset, are adaptability and perfectionism.

Messi has adapted his style and position throughout his career based on how his body changed over the years, what new abilities he has adopted, and what the team needs most from him.

Messi was a perfectionist as well and kept on improving year over year as if there is no ceiling to his potential. He worked on his finishing, he worked on his free kicks and he worked on his passing

Let him get #19 first and cook

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.

We might not be able to register Yamal as a first team player next year. Or it could be better for him to stay registered as a B team player. The only downside of this is it limits the number of other BA or Juvenil players we can use.

You think they are both made out of glass because of the numbers on their back? The injuries (and probably being very overrated by us from the start) are the reason they failed, not numbers.

Number didn't affect fati or pedri, not having a knee anymore kicked a potential goat in Ronaldo's career, of course it would affect fati's at 17.

Fati's injury is non recoverable, while pedri will be okay once he gets a full season or two under his belt.

The hype around both were real and deserved.

If yamal or curbarsi get Injured, people here with their wonderful hindsight will be saying the same thing.

Top of Next Generation list

 

[jamrock]

Wasn't pedri and fati also top of the list? And they've been injured ever since?

It's a curse!!

^This kind of editing is the worse. Constantly shifting camera angle and timeline within the same short sequence that does not achieve any good effect, but makes impossible to actually comprehend what happens in that action. They should add shaking camera and yellow color filter for good measure to completely nail the retarded modern epic promotional video shit style.

Laporta said he rejected 200m offer for Yamal.
