QUOTE=malvolio;2161508]what's the point in getting raul jimenez for 60-70 millions when you can pay extra for lautaro who is 7 years younger? and even stats wise lautaro is slightly better.
What is the point of paying extra 50 millions to get Lautaro then? I am not fan of Raul Jimenez but Lautaro is exactly the type of player we don't need at this moment.
Why? I will explain it to you.
1. We are interested in Lautaro to be our new # 9, but we have Suarez who will be the starter. No need to pay 111 m. for a sub.
2. Buying Lautaro will means most likely he will play out of position, but where? That is the biggest question.
a) He can not play as a second striker/ false # 9, because Messi plays there.
b) He can not be moved to the left wing, because Griezmann plays there lately.
c) He can not play as a RW, because we have there Dembele and Trincao.
3. Where then he is going to play in Barcelona?
Most of Lautaro lovers are like blind these days. They go to the bad and wake up in the morning with only one idea in there heads. They don't think that this guy is very, very expensive and won't fit in our XI. For them, the fact that he is Hispanic is good enough. Nothing else is more important for them. A true Barcelona fan is the one who wants the best for his team, regardless of race, nationality and language. That is why, I can not respect these people.
