Yes, you can fantasize about what ifs, but it's pure speculation. His pace was poor for a final 3rd player even before pre injury. Most of the fans based their opinions after some shots that are hard to pull off consistently.
This is key, I can't remember the last time a forward as slow as Fati has ever achieved world class status. Fans were just too optimistic.

Only because of Flick. Under Xavi, they all looked like we wasted our future money on bums.
A bit of a stretch that.

We won't the league with those players, playing vital roles.

Flick has definitely improved them though

Of course I exaggerate here and it isn't my opinion in that words anyways. Just the general opinion overall though the last 2 years. Especially Rapha and Lewy were considered many times as wasted money. I also wanted to exchange Rapha for Nico in the summer, but I also predicted he would benefit from Flick's fast pace. So a bit of everything and here we are now thanks to Flick, having the current most exciting forward line in the world.

I pity the fools who thought raph was a waste of money, but you are right they were many here, who were primarily convinced by one very loud voice, that he was.

Lewa was looking Shaky and with Xavi wanting him out if he remained manager, that one was more understandable.

But I always said we should judge him after 3 years.

Kounde
Christensen
Rap

Were good signings from minute one to this day.

Lewa was iffy given how he played last season.

If we win the league this season, people need to swallow their pride and admit they were wrong, even if we don't win the league.

We tried to tell them, being a leader is more than just a power point presentation, some intangibles you are just born with or develop over time.

They said no, those below you, could replace him easily, we saw how that worked out.

We told them the levers were a necessary evil, they cried for years about it, the ship is slowly starting to turn around.

We told them, the money spent on transfers was money well spent and the players were good, they cried for years about signing the wrong players blah blah blah.

We told them, a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow, they failed to understand one of the most basic rules in business.

We said we could sign 1 high profile player in the summer, they whined it was the wrong one and that we promised two.

Really not much we didn't tell them.

The laporta haters didn't come in here and apologize when Xavi won the league,

They better if Flick wins it
Ban worthy offense

Fatty finally found someone who wants to go on a dinner with him as no representatives of La Liga clubs seems to do that these days, lol.


FC Barcelona and Red Star hosted, through their main leaders, an official board dinner that took place with cordiality and the exchange of gifts, as revealed by the Serbian club itself on social networks.
