And about overhyped, you will think FCB having a hype machine will take over the internet if we would have such quality in La Masia. The boys are known for a reason, they can do things that other players can only dream. Having success depends purely on their parents and the future club. You can't mimic those dribbles regardless of the league.
I mean CR7 can't be Messi even in Saudi Land.
He scores lots of goals but his fails are there from United, to Real, to Juve and now Saudi. If you have it you have it.
It's true most of them are very flimsy so they need a club and competition to develop but if we look at Real, they had no problems in making talents fit for UCL confrontations and Vini isn't more talented than Gabriel Mec.
And about Roque I mean let's be serious, he isn't some CR7 for his hard work to give fruit.
Cr7 was talented enough to begin.
So in your opinion we should invest money and years of training on mediocre players when we could bring real talents in La Masia just because they are a bit overpriced.
But then I ask myself how on earth we are going to compete Real, EPL, Bayern and pay the 3 billion debt? I mean Sevilla can't and he is staying away from "overhyped" players, makes sane transfers for over 2 decades now. Can't see them beating Real or City in a UCL final. Same for BVB. Huge success with their trasfers but can't dominate even Bundesliga.
So I am sorry to say again but this is the deluded Cruyffism at work. Any sane guy who is over 38 years knows Cruyffism failed to produce anything when the system was hailed as more important than having stars.
And excuse me, I don't see Lamine having the same talent as some of those kids, he is less aggressive and Lamine is our best hope being half Berber. Bantu players are not that talented.
