The difference is that at least Neymar and Messi are sure starters
David Moyes says hello. Also, if you don't think our midfield has certain starters by now you should probably go back and check the lineups.
and are much higher rated forwards, than those midfielders.
Neymar and Messi are rated higher than Iniesta and Xavi? Does this somehow matter?
We lack quality, not quantity in midfield, next year Iniesta and Xavi will be one year older,
So? At Iniesta's age Xavi was still going strong and playing the current role he does Xavi is playing great for us.
Rakitic had 2 good games in 3 months,
That's why Dani Alves is a cancer to the team. What's sad is you probably won't be able to figure out the connection I'm making here.
Roberto seems to be worse than D. Suarez
It's easy to say that now, obviously. The same way people thought Munir was better than Deulofeu and seem to think Adama is also better.
and Rafinha is still raw.
You know who else is raw? DENIS SUAREZ! In fact, in Rafinha's time at Celta he was playing much better than Denis is now.
Yes, I think your forward situation is much better than our midfield situation so we need Suarez more than Deulofeu, (especially if Adama is promoted).
The only sub we have for our front line is fucking rent boy Pedro. We have 0 competent backups available for our front line but we need a raw kid who's likely to receive minutes similar to those of Sergi Roberto because... reasons!
And no, Adama isn't going to be given a spot on the team over Deulofeu. He's not playing on the level Gerard did with the B team and Gerard is actually playing really well in top flight football right now. I find it strange how you talk about Rafinha being "too raw" for our midfield yet consider Denis (Not even close to as experienced as Rafinha) and Adama (Not even close to as experienced as Deulofeu) as better options to play on the first team.
