In that midfield wouldn't there be too many DM/CM-mixes type of players? Busquest is a DM and I would say Arthur/FDJ/Rabiot are dm/cm mixes. We need more offensive midfielders aswell in the mold of KdB, Bernando Silva and so on. For me it either Rabiot/De Jong + someone like Aouar.

Look at this season:
Busquets, Dm
Rakitic, Dm-Cm
Arthur, Dm-Cm
Vidal, allrounder
Samper, Dm

Even this season we have 3 Dms who play a lot, and even Vidal as a 4th guy is closer to Dm-Cm than to Iniesta's type.

Fast forward 2-3 years, we won't have Busquets, Rakitic, Vidal.

So, today we have 3-4 Dm-Cms, and with Rabiot and Arthur we will have only 2.
Even with Fdj, Arthur, Rabiot we would have only 3 of them, which is less than today.
Regarding a new Iniesta, we will try with Coutinho or sell him and buy someone new.
Regarding Alena, Puig, chances for any kid are statistically 20:80 or 30:70.
So, if one of them will explode, fine.
If not, we will just buy new Iniesta, as always.

Gomes, Rafinha, Denis, Samper will be sold soon.
Rakitic will be gone soon.
Vidal probably 2 years.
Busi is way past his prime.

So, from a new generation of players, we have only Arthur.
And now Rabiot.
Puig, Alena are huge ifs.

So, longterm, there is still 3-4 free spots in our midfield even with Fdj, Rabiot, Arthur.

Not true.

You will say: Rabiot promised to sign a deal, this is why they didn't sell him 12 Months before a transfer expiry.

Now, Psg are either lying or your owners are 13 years old.

I mean, imagine if we had Neymar, Coutinho or Dembele now running out of their contract.
And they say that they will sign, but nothing is happening.

Do you know what all clubs would do?
= if a player doesn't sign an extension by the end of August, he will be sold in the last days of a transfer window (12 Months before a transfer expiry)

This Psg's story is so childish and full of holes: they believed to Rabiot, lol.

The truth is: the owner thought that NO PLAYER ever will leave Psg.
And he thought that Rabiot will sign, either with his will or pressured, like Verratti.

I mean, this is business.
Halilovic didn't want to extend a contract with Dinamo and they sold him to Barca rather than lose him for free.

When I read Psg's fans, someone else is always guilty.
You weren't snakes with Neymar.
Verratti wasn't forced to sign.
Rabiot was an asshole and you had a blind faith in him.

Yeah right.
Every story has two sides.

He's not top of my list by any means but if he displaces Rakitic then I'm happy ... he's far more mobile than Rakitic ... probably Rakitic is a better passer but he seems unwilling to try anything creative so he's basically pointless now

Read the post above. :) I wrote about that. IMHO Coutinho is perfect for that position and he could work great with those DM/CM players. Alena is also more offensive, Puig for sure isn't DM and bare in mind that Messi basically plays like a CAM/CF these days. He si definitely not a winger anymore, so I don't think we would have problems crating chances but I agree that playing Busi-Arthur-De Jong (or Rabiot) midfield isn't a solution. They for sure need one AM and that's Coutinho who is definitely not a winger!

What about the stat that shows who deals with high pressure in the best way.
The stat that shows the best player to bail out a teammate in a pressured position by being available to get the pass and not lose it.
The stat that shows who in the best way adds fluidity and safety to a team that's trying to keep possession.

It's not rocket science to see that Arthur's teammates trust him a lot with giving him the ball in a similar way to how they did with Xavi.
He rarely loses it and he works as a safety net when the team is pressured.

I wonder if we had bought him during the Summer would we still have gone for Vidal?

+1 Arthur’s pressing, movement, calmness on the ball and fluidity he brings to the midfield can’t be shown in stats. Our midfield looks much more dynamic with him in its so obvious... stats are boring.

BBZ why are you comparing Rabiots stats - played multiple seasons in the CL - to Arthur who hasn't even had a season in the CL

1. People say that Rabiot sucks
2. I post his good stats from a French league
3. People will say: French league sucks
4. I am posting stats from a Cl to get stats from tournament where both Rabiot, Rakitic and Arthur plays

Point of a story: Rabiot is not Barca's Dna player, but is far from a bad player.
In fact, in a lot of aspects he is equal or better than our starters.
