Which is why you need a third one who can add what they lack. That's what I said. The deal can't be right, because the players that would be an improvement over Arthur, starting midfielder for Brazil, Copa America winners recently with him being their best midfielder, aren't on the market.
Go get Thomas Partey for Arthur. That would be a good deal. Maybe Fabian Ruiz. Maybe Milinkovic Savic. Not someone who can't even get in the starting 11 of Tottenham too often.
If Arthur doesnt keep fit and develop his game then it is not a case of him and FDJ plus one other as they are too similar but FDJ has a bit more.
Arthur is top class when pressed but not spectacular at much else while he is seemingly has fitness issues and off field issues.
If he is to be at Barca long terms his current output wouldnt be enough.
