Takefusa Kubo

This was such a fuck up to let him go. We coulnd't offer him the same money Real did and loan him out? Would set us back a couple of million even if he would turn out to be a disaster. I wonder who fucked up and how to let this happen?!

He's a very talented player. Who knows if he'll make it to Madrid's squad, but he has a promising future in Europe.

The kind of player you wouldn't mind paying 3m euros for, but Barca didn't want to be held ransom by his agents. They want to dictate the terms, even if it is by paying more money for inferior players :shrug:

tbf it was same year we had to accept demands of Moriba & Fati. I look at it as the club decideing to make abet on who they pay. They can't accept demands of every young player.

True, however you pay the value for the best talents available.

1.1m for Hiroki Abe which seemed like just a desperation move after Take went to Real Madrid which I don't think they ever expected, and probably more millions on another obscure player and you'd probably have this guy.

At worst you make a profit off him. They've made some good deals with Pedri and Emerson so I'll give them that, but the club's transfer strategy and their decisions on who to pay and not is still shoddy at best.

Made no sense at the time or since. He's an outstanding talent, a painful mistake we will be reminded of for a long time in the Primera unfortunately

He'll be an easy profit for Madrid if he doesn't become good enough for them.

A player with good technical ability, creativity and work rate will always be wanted.
He could easily play at a mid table PL team at worst.

Codina (director of LaLiga in Japan): "The impact of Takefusa Kubo has been great. Eight of the ten most watched games of football in Japan this year were with Mallorca. Even El Cl?sico didn't get as much attention in the country. Japan is now a leading market in the continent with 130M citizens."

very happy for him. Excellent player with positive and healthy attitude.

We still have Fati and also Konrad de la Fuente. Both deserve to get their chances.

He's nothing special, will play for Levante in two years.

If he wouldn't be a former La Masia kid signing for Madrid nobody would even notice him.

Hes painfully slow and doesnt play like a midfielder. I am not worried at all. His close control is nice though.
