With players like Messi, Suarez, Pique, Busquest, Alba, Arthur, Lenglet, Dembele then it’s really difficult to play with intensity as these guys just don’t have the intensity to run up and down and press like crazy all the time. I’m sure no top team would want any of those bar Messi, not Arthur either though Cules love him.

De Jong, Semedo and Griezmann are suited for that kind of game. Fabian Ruiz, Konate are also suited for that kind of game.

You go nowhere without intensity in CL

I don't agree with that.
First, I'm not even talking about some gung ho type of football just professional tempo. This is borderline amateurish. So, we don't need to play like Handerson type of players but if our players can't play wit professional, modern tempo then they all suck!
Second, this is no longer La Masia team so we can put blame on mistakes in development etc. FDJ played in decent tempo, Arthur plays with Brasil, Lenglet played in Sevilla, Semedo, Greiz, Dembele, heck even Suarez (though here we can talk about age etc).
So Messi can slow the pace down, hug the ball more, because he can produce magic...but ONLY him. All our players currently are just standing and waiting for the ball in the feet, no running in open spaces, no moving at all!

Stunning.

It would seriously help us a lot if Bayern pay that for him.

Now we need a solution for Dembele because as it stand can’t see us getting even 70m for him

Would be unbelievable getting 120m for him, Bayern's record fee is only 80m and that's Hernandez from the recent transfer window, before that it was Tolisso for 45m.

As if Bayern are already making a decision a few weeks into the season..story pulled out of their asses :lol:

Coutinho is integrating well and his performances are alright, but absolutely nothing suggests, that they ll buy him next summer, especially when its total clear that Sane and Havertz are absolute priorities and tbo its tough to see another huge money deal next summer.

The baverians are cheap and are saving their cash for the likes of younger talent like Sancho. So Coutinho will never go above 100M, not even 50M

Bayern will never pay that amount, maybe with impossible installments. Maximum 70+30 or close to that.

Thought he looked below average yesterday which says a lot when they scored 7. Did his usual shoot from ridiculous angles/shoot when it's obviously going to be blocked. Also lost possession multiple times and looked generally weak on the ball. Poor decision making and passing too. Looked unconfident, seems like he can't handle the big stage. Whether that's a symptom of playing under valverde or just who he is we'll have to see.
