is there anyone who values rakitic over this guy? hahaha
i thought real would be all over this guy but that seems to pogba's destination, and with man city looking into rodri. the only viable options for him seem to be here or psg
would really make our midfield more dynamic
3 DMs in Ndombele, Frenkie, Arthur?
Sounds promising.
You guys laughed at Busi, Raki, Vidal.
Now you are getting the same shit with younger guys and more movement.
A crazy idea, how about actually playing with 2-3 different types of players?
If Ndombele will come, Arthur will get benched for some true CAM.
Imagine playing in La Liga against crappy teams with 3 defensive minded midfielders.
In last 2 years in league, cup and Champions league:
Frenkie+Ndombele+Arthur combined=8 goals
The worst player in a history of football, Rakitic=9 goals alone
A hint: in 1-2 years when Messi will be gone, we will need a lot of players with scoring skills to compensate for 50 goals per season which we will lose due to Messi's retirement.
Imagine this mighty trio, passing, playing rondos, passing sideways and scoring 1-2 goals per season.
Sounds promising.
In short, in post Messi's era, at least one of these 3 will develop a very strong emotional relationship with a bench.
Before someone will reply with the most overused alibi ever: BUT BUT BUT Xavi-Iniesta were the same.
Yeah, they played with the prime Messi who was banging 50+ goals per season.
Let's see how a similar type of midfield will work in terms of scoring goals without Messi.
Imagine Arthur-Frenkie-Ndombele with Dembele-Malcom attack.
Lots of movement, zero finishing.
PreXavi-Iniesta, we had Laudrup, Deco and lots of weird hybrid cams-wingers to help to attackers in scoring.
This combination worked perfectly only with Messi around them.
