Did anyone find his higlights against Elche?
Here is his missed chance. Should've probably scored but a nice run and good composure in front of the goal.
Also had a great assist for Ruben Castro's goal which was ruled out for offside.
Yeah, the same with Trincao and Fati. Just let Messi and his amigos play out their contracts and then start a rebuild in 2022/23.

Some of you are tripping
Pedri should be loaned out though. He doesnt strike me as ready (not that I watched a lot of him to be honest, just the general impression).

Why? Do you really expect us to win anything until the old core is here?
I dont want our players to be loaned to La Liga teams, I want them to go abroad to further develop some elements in their game like physicality and intensity. I would love to see more of our players in Premier League like Pique and Cesc but no PL team will probably loan a kid.
Otherwise a Bundesliga team but need to be a good fit and promised play time.
Unlike many of our other talents this guy is a true elite talent.

We won't win anything with just old players, just as we won't win anything with just young players. Imagine if the old core wasn't there and there was more expected from the likes of puig and ansu, they would crumble. We need to find the balance between young and old players. Something that all good teams have

If I had to choose though, I would rather us fumble with a young team than an old one. The old team just looks tired, spent, and decaying like a week old corpse. At least a young team would go out on their shield.
Not that it's mutually exclusive, we should definitely make room for high value veterans where we have them. But if the question for X position is a risk of continuing with a declining player who's old vs a developing player who is young, I'd rather place the bets on the young player and sow the consequences even if that mentality ends up being a mistake in certain cases.

100% agree. Just seeing Fati and Puig play couple days ago made my day, even though we lost. It was the most exciting 45min we have played in a long time.

We didn't lose. 
I do usually prefer loaning them to La Liga teams because it's the league I follow the most and it's also easier for the players to adapt than going to another country where they could struggle to learn new language etc. which could negatively affect their development. But if our kids would get a better loan option in another league I'm not against that. BL, Eredivisie and Ligue 1 are all great leagues for young players's development. EPL not so much so I'd prefer to not loan our players there.
But of course every loan offer should be considered individually. Even if the league is generally good for younger players it won't help much if our players are not loaned to the right clubs where they won't play regularly like it's happening with Miranda. Not that he has any first team future but his loan is pretty much a waste so it would probably be better to loan him to a club like Betis last year when we've bought their starting LB.
Of course we need the right balance but it will be hard for younger players to get minutes if the oldies always have to play. And we're currently in that position, especially with Suarez and Busi. We are playing FDJ out of his best position just so we can still accomodate Busi in the lineup.
And next season I still expect Suarez to start 80-90% of the games and we know Messi also almost always plays. So if Lautaro comes we'll eventually have 4-5 players (Lautaro, Griez, Fati, Trincao, maybe also Braithwaite if he stays) competing for just one position. So how much minutes do you expect Fati and Trincao to get?
