Marca makes a good point, so much money spent and no "new"xavi
A new xavi is impossible but with better planning we should have had a new WC midfield at this point.
Some laughed at laporta during his run because he said he would sign pogba, but better to have over paid for a WC talent like pogba than sign a bunch of average players whose have no hopes of making it to the highest level of the game.
If this board had any sense & said hey let's keep thiago or sign kroos when he was available half our problems would be solved,then we went out and spend crazy on a pogba, we would be golden for another 5 years.
-------------busquets
---thiago/kroos----------pogba
This midfield was easily available to us with some foresight and i can't imagine a better one playing in football today.
Now we have over paid for paulinho and will over pay for coutinho as well, a player i like, but not one that will ever be truly elite IMO, he will be just 1 step below that.
Fuck this board and all it's things aren't that bad supports because msn helped us to a treble, anyone with half a brain could see the system was failing even back then.
