I frankly don't care for your opinion on my posting style, you seem like a sanctimonious uptight fellow with a linited/narrow view on accepted social interactions. This is the internet not a work place and even then that's wholly dependant on the industry.
Secondly I've already explained my name is in reference the mourinho rant about respect and holding up 3 fingers, the reason it's spelt with a k is because it should be REspeKT_III SO REKT.
Secondly you are obviously a hyoocirit with this very interaction and as for calling me out... Sure lol... Keep trying.

I know it is hard to hear but it isn't about you. You can think what you want about me or anyone else, but I'll call out your BS and d@ckesh behaviors when directed about Barca players and posters because it is ABOUT THEM.

Yet again with the sanctimonious crap... you are so fucking up yourself its actually hilarious
Nice to just gloss over what i posted and go on a tangent. You must really get riled up when people talk about past it players that you love and adore. I'm also sure the players will cry themselves to sleep while wiping their tears away with 100 bills because of the critiques they get on some internet forum they don't even read.
Ill also try to sugar coat my comments so i don't hurt you and your associates feelings.
'Excuse me kind sir can you not clutter the forum with the same post across multiple threads with an outlandish call for clearly unsuitable transfer targets, Ta old champ' lol
anything else dad.

I got to thinking about Firpo coming and Malcom out. Of course I saw just about all Malom's minutes last season---so have my own views outside of metrics, but very little of Firpo.
So let's look at metrics. Firpo is #5 on Betis among the 21 players with 500 minutes in La Liga. (total objective--all stats considered--rating of 6.93). Malcom's rating was 6.53, placing him at #15 out of #18 among squad members with over 500 minutes. (for ref Vermaelen was the worst on the squad at 6.4 and Alena 2nd worst at 6.44). As one can see there are a mix of attackers and defenders in the lists (it really is pretty fair and unbiased toward all field players). If one was curious in our other fullbacks we had Alba at 7.01, Roberto at 6.91, Semedo at 6.68, Wague at 6.55 (keep in mind only 225 minutes), no data on Miranda.
So all in all, selling Malcom for 40 some plus variables and buying Firmo for 30 some plus variables looks good for the coffers + good evidence it is more benefit in performance for the club. None of these are sure things projecting in the future but some signs look pretty good.
Of course I think FDJ was a brilliant move (foremost from what I have seen on the pitch, metrics reinforce my observations), Griezmann a very strong move likely to pay off (what i have seen 1st, metrics also supporting), and Firpo has many positive signs at least in metrics.
Now none of this improves upon Valverde and the managing team, but it is easier to change managers than recycle a squad, so I am bullish.
If anyone is curious Neymar has been brilliant in metrics for years--only behind Messi in world football (be it for PSG or Barca). However for him the biggest thing is what it would cost in money and players going out. That along with chemistry and #1, Neymar's physical health, state of mind, and focus, because that is a huge investment that would make FDJ and AG look like small potatoes. With Neymar certainly not a matter of individual footballing talent but much bigger potential complications. But if Coutinho or Dembele + either Rakitic or Vidal would get that done (we really should not have to pay much premium beyond) and he accepted good but not crazy contract demands (say a bit over Saurez but not near Messi unless a lot of long term variables inluded around health and playing time) I'd be in. Dembele and Coutinho is too much unless PSG would pay us extra.

So at the moment we have spent 100 on Dembele, 150 on Coutinho,120 on Griezmann and still have none to play on the left wing nor a replacement for Suarez.
Dembele was shockingly poor again , Griezman looks like he’s never gonna score for us .. Alba is suddenly looking a bit of a liability as well
What we lack is players who can make the run, enough of players who wants it at their feet. Messi, Dembele, Griezmann, Coutinho, Rakitic, Semedo, De Jong, Puig and so on all want the ball at their feet. No intensity.
Only Alba makes the run these days. Not enoug. We used to have at least 3-4-5 who could do it.
Could use a Van De beek type in midfield and a winger and right back who can run in behind. About the winger and right back we must teach Dembele to do it. Has the pace. Semedo aswell.
Dembele really needs to learn to play his strengths, use that pace ffs
Before anything give me a good coach. Man what would I do for Poch
Stop buying creaters, buy runners. Would get Donny next year and play him as the almost advanced midfielder, he has the intensity I want.
Dembele and the other wing need to make the runs Villa, Etoo, Henry, Pedro and even Tello made

If we actually plan on loaning Coutinho and selling Rakitic we then should get Eriksen + a young LW (Olmo, Bergwijn) or a RW and move Dembele to the LW (Chukwueze)
Dembele/ Bergwijn Griezmann/ Suarez Messi
Eriksen/ Alena FDJ/ Busquets Arthur/ Vidal
Alba/ Firpo CL/ Umtiti Pique/ Todibo Semedo/ Wague
MTS/ Neto
+ Roberto as a versatile player.

Potentially speaking:
Psg reportedly want coutinho+semedo+50mio for ney and we maybe offer them Coutinho+umtiti+50 mio. Who could be our new cb? Since we know PL teams wont sell, cause their transfer window is closed.
Koulibaly, to old and expensive.
Upamecano, to expensive. Other guy from Lepzig?
