Paulo Dybala

[Cruyff-Total Football]

Like it or not. Dybala, Neymar and Verratti are the best young players out there. And considering the fact that Neymar is more suited for counter attacking football, Dybala is the best forward Barcelona can get. One need not Dani Alves' suggestion to consider Dybala as a great talent. It is very clear he shows characteristics that are very much similar to Messi.

Ronaldo argument is invalid. Because rational players never tell he is better than Messi. Zidane or Raul or Paul Scholes never told so. Neither did world class coaches who coached Ronaldo such as Carlo Anceloti or Mourinho.

But that's not the case with Dani Alves. Of all the years he played with Neymar at Barca, Alves never made such a bold claim that he is similar to Messi despite Neymar being his compatriot. But he said so with Dybala.

And again, Dybala is not considered by many as very similar to Messi because of Dani Alves comment but because of the similar characteristics in their style of play.

I repeat what I said in the previous comment, if Neymar joins Real Madrid (Best counter attacking team) and Dybala joins Barcelona (Best team that plays a variant of Total Football) they will be recognized as the two best players in the world in the future. Forget about the likes of Mbappe, Dembele, Asensio. Dembele and Asensio are fantastic of course. But Dybala and Neymar are the real deal.

One should not let statistics downgrade the quality of these two players.

Dybala is skilled and has talent but have you guys even watched him last seasons? People act here like he's one hell of a player but complain about Coutinho, Neymar etc not performing every game. Dybala doesn't play every game great. He's not better at the moment than players like Hazard, Isco ...

Verratti, Pogba, Bernardo Silva, Kane, Varane, Icardi, Oblak, Lukaku are examples for <25 players who are doing better than Dybala imo or at least as good. You could also make a case for the much younger Kimmich, Asensio, Dembélé, Saul, Mbappé, Jesus, Lemar and Alli.

Only player all of the ones you have mentioned that is in the same level of Dybala (In terms of quality and not in terms of statistics) is Verratti.

All other players mentioned does not even come close to the likes of Verratti and Dybala. And Dybala plays different position to Verratti. But both of them are the best young players in their position.

I always agree that Neymar is the second best player in the world at the moment. And I am the one who already posted numerous times that Countiho is the second best Attacking midfielder in the world only behind David Silva.

And I don't consider Dybala as better than Neymar at the moment. He is surely better than Isco. And he is the most suited forward for Barca out there. He can surely be better than Hazard in a year or two after he is settled at Barca (if he comes to Barca). And Dybala can take the place of second best player in the world in few years if he adapts nicely to Barca. Because his characteristics very much matches that of a Barca forward, unlike Suarez who can't even pass the ball.

Alves said that dybala is nearest player to messi because he had to probably, its part of marketing, anyway watching dybala im not impressed and dont understand such hype, let alone put him in same sentence with messi

He does not have any obligation to say so just to increase the marketing of an Argentine considering the fact that he never put Neymar in the same sentence with Messi despite Neymar being his best friend.

And again, it is not about Dani Alves comment. Dybala is indeed the player that is most similar in characteristics to Messi. And having the most similar characteristics to Messi does not mean he is in the same level of Messi. To be fair, only player that comes close to the level of Messi is Maradona.

What is "quality"? Because if this is about "how cool his first touch is then he's probably up there", but if quality is about how he actually performs on a football field then all those names I mentioned are doing a noticably better job for now.

 

[Marchisio8]

I agree, but Dybala did not do much in the past 12 months to suggest that he is out of competition to Lukaku, so that mule might just be better or as good at this very point.



Dude was injured for a bit more than just a single month in November. That's a plain normal amount of gametime missed for any player.

He missed 3 months, what the fuck are you talking about

are you deliberately acting stupid now?

Here is Juventus lineup from the 22nd October 2016, the game in which Dybala got subbed off injured after 33minutes.

Next follows a video of Miralem Pjanic scoring the 1-3 against Turino on the 11th of December 2016. Look at who made the (admittedly great) assist.

10/22/16 - 12/11/16 (with him being back in training at the 5th) is like half of 3 months, it's exactly as much as

transfermarket

said.

So please, get a grip, I understand you are trying to hype your own player but I don't get how you could so blatantly disagree with the facts that prove you wrong.
If you know how to actually use the internet, you can just google that shit for yourself if you don't believe me. Takes 2 minutes.

I'd love for Dybala to join us/me at Barca. Not as a direct Neymar replacement, obviously. He just oozes Barca DNA.

The closest sense about buying him right now would be to replace exactly you, since you're losing your killer goal instinct. And then Messi and Dybala could play together and switch on CAM and ST between themselves. Would be great, but don't think it's gonna happen. And i do also think he's one of the few players out there (Verratti,Dembele), who is tailor made for Barca.

Coutinho deal looks dead in the water so I'd get all our cash together and put it on the table for Dybala , now or never offer !

Better to keep the money for next summer than to throw it at a last minute panic buy, especially a non-CM.
