Played a fantastic game. Him, Busquets, Kessie and the defence should hold their heads high. Lewandowski needs to get his head out of his ass or he's going to last a single season here

Think he's just keeping himself from getting injured. Keep in mind he hasn't had a proper preseason. Players don't usually go from being extremely fast like Bellerin to Umtiti. Give him a few games and see what comes from him.

The game is just getting faster and more physical. Every player needs to contribute to the press and play with/without the ball. Reasons why players like Ozil, James Rodriguez, Panic are not playing in top level leagues. You couldn't win with an old ageing squad in any decade, let alone the game...

This is fair point but Messi has been carrying Barca for at least 4 seasons, dragging the half dead corpse while being let down from other teammates. He is not captain material, at least not for Barcelona. In Argentina it's a different story entirely. Point still stands. Alba was among one of...

I would be okay to have him play against Bayern only to see him get bullied by Mueller and Gnabry. He should have been dropped to second choice after it was shown that he was crying at Anfield during half time. We don't need both mental midgets and physical midgets in our team

His future is at striker. He has the movement, finishing, and is quick enough to play as a 9. Off-topic, in my FM save I use him as a False 9 or Advanced Forward with another forward and he plays great

Bingo. He just isn't disciplined enough to play defensively in a single pivot that we have been using for decades. We make jokes about Griezmann being called Cardiomann, but Frenkie really is like a dutch golden retriever sometimes. While players like Pedri and Gavi have exploded in the last...

He just seems to be a passenger in most games. Kessie and Pedri had a bigger role and better showing in our result against Viktoria Pizen. A few games like the Benfica away game or the Napoli away game, he was great in the forward roll with his surging runs but he just lacks the "X factor"...

18 1.80m Right Footed 18 year old Andrey plays for Vasco da Gama in Brazil's second division. Captain of the Brazil U-20 team. News articles saying we have had our eye on him for over a year. Long term solution for our DM position to take over once Busquets leaves/retires. Plays like somebody...

Can't be worse than Coutinho's veneers. Or Firmino's giant pearly white chompers

Our best signing of the last 5 years

Need to wait until we face a real test. Champions league against Bayern is probably our toughest game for the time being. Playing a backline of Balde, Christensen, Araujo, and Kounde with Garcia in the DM position would make us very strong defensively and give us somebody other than Busquets in...

Unironically think he would be good in a RB/RWB position. Understands positioning, can pass, has fair amount of pace and with Araujo and Kounde plus Christensen covering him, all he has to do is not ignore his defensive duties. Can't be worse than Dest has been even though he had a great game...

Bruno from Newcastle would be worth a shout but Newcastle would never sell now that they have fuck off money

You don't know football if you think Kounde is a bad player. If Pepe is a 10 in the extreme physical tackles during his time in Madrid, Kounde is firm in the challenges which is what we need. Araujo can't be the only physical defender to bully forwards... Just look at his performances against us...

14 goals and 12 assists in all comps is a good return for him. I think he will improve and skyrocket this season as he grows and gets more confident. Him linking up with Charles De Ketelaere if Milan ends up signing him will be excellent physically and technically. Check back halfway through...

I think you're watching a different Kounde. He's strong on the tackle, maybe not as much like Pepe, but he definitely isn't a pussy

Only problem is that with selling him. We will have to find another midfielder who can play in that deeper position in another season. Franck is more of a box-to-box player for me. Sergio is leaving next year it seems. Nico isn't good enough, maybe for a stop gap, but the drop in quality from...

He got injured by refusing surgery after club doctors recommended it to him. I'm sure he was made well aware of the risks if he planned to go ahead and play on painkillers or whatever temporary conditions the physician he chose to follow said. He already had issues with his meniscus at Lyon in...
