If Frankie De Jong were at Barça today, would you guys bench Arthur?
Do you guys think that the Ajax player is way better or has a higher ceiling?
I see De Jong more as DM.
And Arthur more as a CM.

don't play similar positions. Regardless, I think Arthur is better right now and arguably has the higher ceiling.
I don't know dude. I got really surprised by the youtube (lol) videos. I didn't knew the dutch player until yesterday... He seems to have so much talent and quality.
He may be playing like a DM (even CB for what i read in some coments), but for what i saw in his videos, he is totally a CM material (at least for me). Maybe they could play together with a DM behind them. Or Frankie could just play DM, but i think it would be a waste.
I really like Arthur, he is a compatriot of mine as a brazillian. But... If i had to choose a player to my team, i think i would choose Frankie. Oh well, Barcelona could have both of them
Guys, I have been getting some doubts with the English language. In which situations i should use "going to" or "will" to talk about the future? My natural language is Portuguese and I learned english by myself with games, music, comics, series and movies. I didn't had classes or anything of the like. I don't know if guys are understanding my doubts
De Jong would be a WASTE at DM. Both him and Arthur are a bit similar but De Jong is more involved in the attack with more forward passes, dribbles, etc while Arthur controls the possesion more. Think Kroos (Arthur) and Modric (De jong)
Modric plays the deep role in Real ( CM ) . Kroos position is advanced compared to Modric, who drops deep and does the dirty work . An aspect in which kroos struggled a lot under Ancelotti . If Arthur turns out to be the controller that everyone is hoping for ,he should be playing deep in Modric /Xavi role and De jong in Iniesta /kroos role . Iniesta and kroos are vastly different in playing style though . Kroos is an extremely limited player but an excellent passer and set piece specialist .De Jong would be a WASTE at DM. Both him and Arthur are a bit similar but De Jong is more involved in the attack with more forward passes, dribbles, etc while Arthur controls the possesion more. Think Kroos (Arthur) and Modric (De jong)
Roberto would need to add some physical toughness to his game, but he has made miracles happen before and never seems to turn down a challenge, so...Our future midfield should be sth like
Coutinho Roberto Arthur with Puig/Alena as a subs.
If anyone fails then we could turn to FDJ.
