Arthur

Getting Pjanic means less time for Puig. I don't like it.

got schooled by puig

Puig is definitely better than Arthur for this Barca side, even now. Style and fit matters, and Arthur contributes more to this Setien epidemic of slow play with no real aim and no clear passing lanes to the goal.

Puig, on the other hand, moves the ball rapidly and constantly follows up on his passes. We need a fast tempo which is what Puig provides, as does FDJ in his natural position. This is how we get rid of the gridlock in buildup and continuously produce high flowing offense and good chances.

Him being so small as well helps him have crazy cardio. Probably top 5 cardio in the team after FDJ/Vidal/Semedo/Roberto. Never slows down.

He must be the first Brazilian to physically decline at 22. Usually they last till 27.

Insanely bad physical fitness.

Maybe this is due the sifilis , do he can't be back in form.

It could be a thing because i never heard before some player got sifilis ad injury.

In all fairness, in his first season EV hinted at his poor fitness. People waved it off but truly seems to be the case.

Whatever happened to MessiCam?

Before Arthur joined he said he watched him at Gremio all the time and that he was sure he'd be amazing for us.

I used to have some hope for this guy, but if Juve is willing to shell some cash for him then I say do it...

I thought EV was full of shit but looks like he was correct. Lad looks like he ran a marathon after 60-70 mins. Just can't keep up. He looks a bit fat too.

Syphilis? That's new. How did it evolve from Chlamydia to Syphilis? Was it even an STI or are we still meme'ing?

 

[Horatio]

Some people will say its AIDS based on his performance.

 

[abiabi]

[Barcilliant]

Apparently deal has been done.
