8 - Pedri

[DonAK]

Is he seriously going to play in the Olympics? Please tell me you are joking.

Mingueza will go to Tokyo.

Don't think Barca will allow Pedri to go. They don't have to since it's not a FIFA sanctioned tournament.

 

[te amo barca]

Elite midfielder at 18 years old. He has actually improved some facets of his game if we compare him to a year ago, all that experience and 90 minute sessions of passing and running for Koeman paid off.

 

[Messi983]

I would love for some of the more critical users here to name just one midfielder that looked more impressive at his age. Not saying he's destined for greatness, but he's absolutely ridiculous.

Or name a talent they would rather have at the moment.

Puig, doh.

Most Barca "fans" who are critical of him are Mavericky fan boys.

[Devils]

Better than Thiago.

 

[FC433]

FDJ and Pedri, we are getting so very close to having a proper midfield. What is crazy is that we plenty of options since both FDJ and Pedri are versatile. Could get an offensive CM, box-to-box, or even a pure CDM.

Puig, doh.

, S
I am not a Puig fan and i still think he is very overrated. Certainly not a "new" Iniesta in any way, shape or form.

This.

 

[Joan]

Better than Thiago.

Far better than that bum.

Such a complete player, joy to watch.

 

[Marshall D Teach]

He's probably the best player Spain's got

 

[Devils]

FDJ and Pedri, we are getting so very close to having a proper midfield. What is crazy is that we plenty of options since both FDJ and Pedri are versatile. Could get an offensive CM, box-to-box, or even a pure CDM.

We should try to get Tanguy NdomBADBOY.

Ultimate midfield.

Only 79 touches in 120 minutes. Sell. Puig would have managed 79 touches in one dribble.

 

[vegitot]

So far at Euro 2020 he?s made 113 carries (running with the ball for 5+ metres), only Aymeric Laporte has made more. Also he completes most passes in the final third in this Euro.

 

[vuji_31]

He is so good. His first touch is best thing I have seen for a while from midfield player.

 

[te amo barca]

We should try to get Tanguy NdomBADBOY.

Ultimate midfield.

That cat is a luxury player, all tekkers no workrate, stamina or defensive presence.
