for a world class winger and midfielder Suarez.
If the pathetic board of ours didnt spend money on the likes Vermaelen, Gomes and Arda, and actually tried to sell off our scrubs instead of loaning them until their contracts run out or sell them for a small fee - then MSN would not be a problem at all. Real sold freakin Jese for 30m and we cant even get a bag of sh!t for our players.
If Gomes and Arda are sold you have the money for one midfielder. The other midfielder and the RB are to be bought from the summer transfer budget + there are some money to be made on other players like Tello, Vermaelen, Mathieu etc.
It would be stupid to split the MSN trio. All they need is a midfield that can support and create for them. During the treble season we had both Neymar and Suarez making runs and even Messi sometimes. Look at the huge difference now. Instead of making runs, we have Neymar collecting the ball in midfield instead which makes him less of a threat. Same goes for Messi. Instead of mainly being near the opponents box he must drop down to midfield and create something himself. Suarez gets no service at all = wasting one of the best strikers in the world. If we 1 or 2 amazing passers to help Messi (like Özil for example) we'd have the trio to concentrate more on scoring goals and being in good positions to begin with instead of both creating and scoring all by themselves.
So no, i would not be willing to part with anyone of the MSN trio. Sell the players that bring nothing to the team at all. But if i had to pick one it would be Suarez simply because Messi is Messi and Neymar is like 5-6 years younger.
There are 2 options:
1. MSN from 2014/15 is a true level of MSN and they are just underperforming now due to Lucho, motivation, age etc
2. A current level of MSN from the last two seasons is a true level of MSN, and 2014/15 was just one crazy season where they played at 120% of their abilities (like Leicester or Atletico in their golden seasons) and 2014/15 will never repeat again. Especially if you add age and even less motivation in each new season.
We too often look at one short period of time and think about that period as "a true level" of Msn or Neymar.
If we look at larger samples, both at good and bad periods, plus if we try to make some "average form" over 3-4 years, imo, those estimations will be way closer to a real value than looking only at player's prime 6 or 12 Months.
