11 - Raphinha

Rashford on the wing is bad for me as a starter. At 9, if he'd be up for it, there's a spot for him. As a winger, you have to run a lot more than Rashford is doing.
He's not great with his back to goal and hold up, that's a problem for it. Everything I have seen from Rashford in the last 10 years indicates he's at his best when coming off the wing when facing players up and space to dribble into. That's more difficult in a more congested area of the pitch in the middle where he's not being fed the ball with the opportunity to attack players anywhere near as much.

Themselves.

They lower their expectation and effort. We will see if we gonna win la liga back to back (first test).

As if this is so easy. There are big teams out there that spend over a billion and haven't won a big title in ages. Not even one, let alone 2 in a row. And here we are demanding back to back La Liga titles as if it's nothing. Messi was so right.

It's even more baffling when you consider that the direct competition for LL is Real Madrid, a club with both finances and history, and if that wasn't enough, state/league favors :lol: :lol:

We did spend 27m this summer. 60m last summer. 33m the year before.

The fact that we're even this strong and won all we did last season is a miracle. Even if we have a somewhat disappointing season this year compared to last then I don't know if I can blame anything else than the club's financial situation that have 13-14 players of our squad have to play nearly every game because the other guys are a big drop in quality or always injured anyway.

Atletico Madrid this summer and last summer alone have spent as much as we've spent since Laporta became President, and that's after we had to sell a part of our soul just to not go bankrupt after what Bartomeu had done with this club.

And that's Atletico. Now imagine Real Madrid, PSG, Man City, Chelsea, etc.

People really want to compare us to that? Just enjoy the ride and hope/pray we get out of this ruin so we're able to have a summer where we can spend 80-100m every second year or so without problems.

There's only so much you can improve from academy products and a couple of free transfers. At some point every club need to spend big to keep up with the rest and get the type of quality needed that you're not producing yourself.
