Willian

[Cule4life]

Lol at [MENTION=2258]Hamzah[/MENTION] being an apologist again. He would defend Fraudverde if he gave Messi for free to Madrid. "Messi doesn't defend anyway"

 

[Tekkers]

If valverde plans to use the 4-4-2 then Willian is perfect for the right side. Enough technical skills to play for Barca and puts in hard work defensively. Especially needed when coutinho will be on the left side and is weak in defence. In big games last year on the right wing Barca had to play technically limited Paulinho and sometimes Sergio roberto (we saw how bad roberto was at right midfield against Roma).

As for Dembele, it takes the pressure off him. He can ease in more steadily. Remember he is very young.

he doesn't need to ease in more steadily. he did just fine in the bundesliga + ucl for dortmund at 19-20. he doesn't need another season rotting on the bench behind willian because "he doesn't track back enough"

fuck valverde

valverde was the perfect hire for this board. i hope all his apologists are happy with this transfer

I'm truly happy. also who says the rumors are accurate?

 

[Hamzah]

Obviously Hamzah is going to play the Devil's Advocate for every shit move they make, or genuinely believe they're geniuses.

We're not winning the CL playing the same shit 4-4-2 again with Busquets and Rakitic in the middle and Suarez and Messi on top.

Same problems, lack of pace and a midfield duo that cannot cope against high intensity teams.

I would prefer the 4-3-3. Willian would be useful for that setup too seeing as there aren’t enough wingers in the squad.

His experience of not scoring many goals or delivering many assists is going to be useful in winning the CL.

That's basically what Dembele has done in half of a season this year...

75 man, 75.

Heard he runs alot though. #Workhorse #WorthIt

Valverde's 4-4-2 is like a commander who has a tank and tries to make it faster by leaving out the ammo so that it can run away from an army humvee.

It's a tank idiot, you just point at the humvee and shoot. Problem solved.

Instead of refining our attacking game and build deadly attacks with great passing, let's just bring in guys who run a lot and defend well so we can maybe hold on better when we face Roma again.

Those numbers will improve at barca. He is surrounded by more technical players, not the likes of Kante and zappacosta.

Bullshit. You can then make the same argument for every player, even a donkey.

He's 30 years old. He's not going to improve significantly.

Those numbers represent what he truly is.

Bullshit.

Same was said about Coutinhos numbers not being good enough.

He would get a lot more than that is playing at Barca with any regularity.

Horrible, just horrible. And that’s without pointing out that many of those goals are from FKs. Something that he won’t even get to try here.

 

[Hamzah]

The price is the only objection I have to this transfer. As a player he is good and fits well to the squad imo. A cheaper and possibly younger (less important as Dembele is coming through) alternative would have been better.

Coutinho is a midfielder that is in his mid 20s who had more than good enough numbers for an attacking midfielder.

 

[serghei]

Price, age, and value are the 3 main components of a transfer.

First two are a bust, and the third is so-so.
