There really is no other starting option presenting themselves other than Haaland.

Roque is done here. But if we can get our money back on him then David on a free with Lewy auto-renewing wouldn't be the worst move for next summer.

You think David's good enough to be our starter smh

The 17 year old kid reminds me of Musiala of Bayern, almost a replica... same age when he was ushered in, similar skillset and style. Heck, they're even physically similar too, brothers like similar...Musiala has been developing perfectly in the last 4 years with Bayern. So, there's no hype of Yamal, the kid is amazing already and joy to watch...In both cases, there is a potential of joining the array of the greatest footballers of all times. Let's hope that no injuries or some other aspects of personal development issues won't change the course of that.

Lewandowski...the old maestro, is a pleasure to watch ONLY when he scores (bar the ghey like penalty kicks). Otherwise, more often than not, Lewandowski's play with the ball is, let's face it, an eye sore.

No. But we are not looking for a starter next season- but quality depth and rotation, which I think he would be good enough for. Atleast he has a bit of speed, can score, technically good and can find a team mate consistently with a pass. Things that we spent 30m on Roque for and he can't do half of them (with him not having found his scoring boots either yet)

There's almost no quality difference between La Liga and EPL. I'm not even sure teams like West Ham or Crystal Palace would beat likes of Mallorca or Rayo Vallecano. There is only one area where EPL is better, around places 5-8.

La Liga B sides are not usually as good as EPL B sides. A and C tiers are up there.

Rest is stylistical imo.

History has told us they wouldn't.

Teams in La Liga that typically finish 5-8 would do well against the spurs and man utds of the world.

Villarreal
Bilboa
Sevilla. ( Not this season obviously).

EPL is soulless mercenary boogaloo and apart from teams managed by spaniards or germans, they are still hoofballers that try and fail to tiktak, despite being full of technical foreigners. No wonder absolute majority of matches there could be easily confused with modern fifa/pes simulators, where nothing happens for most of the match and some fluke goals are scored here and there, while sterile, sanitized commentary lulls you to sleep.
I'd rather watch some Villareal-Valencia or Sevilla-Betis match, even, if those teams are in horrible shape and financial state, because there's always more 1) technique 2) tactics 3) emotions/hustle 4) smart defending (instead of physical/pace based)

Really, it's not the case, where i defend LL, because my favorite club/s play there, but EPL, since it completely turned into Pep's backyard, has turned into real life FIFA game, where you set cpu vs cpu match and try to enjoy it. One out of 20 might give you some excitement, if you endure that much.
