Should be playing every big match alongside Frenkie imo. We scored bigtime on both signings, only shame is we have a retard for a manager.

The words forgiving, loyal and understanding are not ones I would associate with a fan base that wanted their team to get humiliated in a cup final. Let's face it, 90% of Barca fans are only really fans of the team if it is winning AND playing beautifully. Personally, would accept a few bad years if it would get rid of these types of fans, if only they promised not to come back.
You may be right, but most probably not. I'm not spaniard nor catalan and had no reason to particularly favor one foreign club and i wasn't even recruited to fanbase by adoring some famous player in the childhood. I started to acknowledge the awesomness of Barca in mid 90s and it gradually grew on me so that i was always rooting for the team (by late 90s/start of 00s) whatever their opponents are just because i like how they approach things, even if unsuccessful. Poster above said it well that the victory that this kind of approach gave in late 00s and start of given decade was so extra sweet, because i had longed for it for so.. long. The beautiful football won for once, at least my vision of what is beautiful in football. Both Spain and Barca were my favs for a long time before even though they were perpetual losers mostly, especially Spain.
So yeah, speak for whomever you do, but keep in mind that there are batch of Barca fans throughout the world that came here for joga bonita to begin with and would never care for this club otherwise.

He is a bit too similar to Frenkie for that tbh.
He's not at all similar imo. Frenkie is very assertive, adventurous. You just see in his every move that he's always looking for a jackpot. Arthur would actually complement him well in that he's more level headed, clam, reasonable, maybe bit boring (like Xavi, actually) and thus good at not letting things go awry. He would be the conservative part of the duo, while Frankie is librul if you please. ;)

if Arthur was in premier league, say in Spurs, he would be viewed as a phenom with his ability to just Ole all those pressing that premier league teams like to do. Unfortunately he went to the worst possible coach/team for his skillset despite the 'xavi' narrative which is just wrong

How about tell us about Seri the Black Xavi that this forum love to have before 😂

Valverde cheerleaders will have their excuses ready though when he still isn't playing big games in March and April " He needs match fitness because he played Copa in the summer"

TBH I think BBZ has a point about Arthur, he is a bit too sterile but i think he can develop other aspects of his game over time he is only what 23?.
