That's bullshit. You can't say the league's no1 goal-scorer didn't play a big role in winning a league.
Of course he played a role, that's obvious. However how many times did Stegen stand on his head to keep us in games that season? How many incredible defensive performances did we have to squeeze out 1-0 wins or close ties we should of lost?

A lot of very crucial goals were scored by other players in major games too. If you dont understand that our defense and goalie carried us to that title then I don't know what else to tell you.

And that expensive signing stuck us with a player in his mid thirties on the biggest salary in La Liga and who has done nothing but decline rapidly from the moment we signed him.

Not worth it.

Fort should play on the left, Balde is rather not a show stopper either in attack or defense. Pau has some potential
Bernal done a Busquets and the team as we know it is impotent.
Told ya, buy players that have the numbers! We lack goals.

To justify the Lewa fee and his shite performances we used to get told how much of a leader he was for youngsters... that lasted long.

Man has an ego the size of Crissie Ronaldo.
Stuff like 'he is a role model for the kid players' when talking about veterans, is generally utterly bollocks pseudo psychology analysis.

People said that about Ronaldo while he was throwing players under the bus.

Most old players are far too concerned with their own wage packets and pending retirement to give a fuck about helping the next generation. Footballers are selfish like that.

In a different manner, it's similar to United fans thinking bringing in RVN is somehow gonna turn Hojlund and Rashford from average finishers into Gerd Muller. They will improve a bit but coaching doesn't perform miracles.

The issue is the length of his contract. 2, even 2 + optional 1 and it's a good transfer. We just gave him too long of a contract, which in the end makes the deal mediocre, I agree.

We either wake up now, or this is gonna be one long-arse season.

Polish tractor needs to be shipped out next summer.
