It's mostly only Birdy but he is very dedicated to the cause I admit. Makes it seem like 50 on this forum.
Wouldn't be surprised to see PSG looking to upgrade Dembele considering the funds they have.

Yamal is not only Black African but Magrebian too so I don't think his ceiling is predictable for that reason, since Magrebians had some real talents like Zidane, Benzema (given not all Magrebians are pure Berbers as those two). Messi level there is no way, only one guy was close and he was Argentine. If you show me a black Iniesta I will start to believe that there is a possibility. Black Africans in a big percentage have a different body type. Their abilities are more akin to Di Maria or Haland than to Iniesta or Messi . The only close call to that profile is Mbappe and he is half magrebian too.
Now considering Yamal's actions I would say he can be like Henry or Cr7 with lots of training. So I do trust our boy to be a huge player but let's be real he isn't 50% of Messi in terms of talent. Messi is just 1 in 100 years phenomenon and genetically only Argentina produced a Messi like player. Given his stats while not being a total sociopath like CR7 it will be very unlikely to ever have a Messi in our shirt.
We got lucky then, and given that our fanbase is plastic that craves for UCL results not for buying talents i don't see it in the future.
(That's why the board busted money on Coutinho, Dembele, Griezmann, Lewandowski, Ferran, Raphinha and not on real Brazilian or Argentine talents who need 3-4 years to settle in).
Probably a Argentine will came close enough as talent in the next 50 years but Messi was just insane, and is very unlikely we will play him.
To conclude our boy should never compare himself to Messi, he should compare himself in training and style to CR7. He can emulate his style.

By the way his stats can improve, unlike Nico who is a tractor, Yamal is a fine player with smoth ball control. That means he can do way better and it's a matter of training, maturity, positioning and tactics.
My advice to him will be to train his heading skills and one touch shooting from every position every damn day and he will have crazy stats. I will not recommend to muscle up until 21. Let your body grow naturally.

R9 was not close to Messi, Romario maybe?, but Zico is the only Brazilian who was ever close to Messi. Stop watching football if you compare a number 9 with insane skills and a good dribling with a show maker like Messi or Maradona. Yes R9 was impressive but he was nowhere near Messi or Maradona range of play, mobility, dictating games.
You will be a gold member of the blind scouting team of Bartomeu and Laporta2 with this claims.
The only talents outside Argentine who resembled anything like them are Best, Zico, Iniesta, Platini, Isco, Zidane, Hagi and some failed or unknown players to you from Spain, Romania, Serbia, Italy. All of the above mentioned players lacked either muscle mass in their legs or the body shape (Zidane) or the explosion (Hagi) or were not as talented (Platini, Hagi etc) as those two Argentines.
But they had the same type of talent or even play, the same attitude towards playing.
Yeah there's no problems with Lamine stats. They will improve as everything is technically and mentally there. Not a Muniain for example.
Only issue I have which someone else said is that sometimes he is playing too mature, and should just go on impulse a little more. But thats the plight of the modern football and its micromanagement.

I said he sometimes is "too mature", if that's a thing. I believe Lewandowski and other seniors in Barca have made him a little shy with their antics when he didn't always pass to them. He should get some bad boy mentality and don't give a fuck about have beens (lewa) and nobodys (ferran, rafa).
