Dont renew him then...
Whats the plan if sell Frenkie?
It is nonsense. There are far more players you sell before him.
Same shite folk claimed last season as Gavi and Casado had won over him... reality he was levels ahead of those two when fit and was crucial to Barca coming back in second half of season.
Yesterday our midfield was very bad. Maybe frenkie needs pedri beside him. But doesn‘t change the fact that he is and can be a world class player (he was in many games) but he is not as good as pedri and needs help in midfield and he doesnt get it from casado or eric. Maybe olmo would have been better beside him

Pedri needs Frenkie also.. seen it plenty of times.
Barca as a whole need both of them to be playing well.
They are Barcas best four with Yamal and Raph and by a long long way.
Maybe Garcia can prove to be it also.. GK one.

Bigger personality, hits the nail on the head
Yes for sure. We can just be competitive in CL if all stay fit but this would just be luck.

'Bigger personality'
Was Barcas best player after Yamal against Inter and had Inzaghi picking him out.
Dicked on Real in Bernabeu multiple times.
Twice been the best midfielder on the park in virtual league deciders at home to Real etc.
Folk think we fake hardmen who play with far less quality and impact on games is what personality is.
Used to tell us Araujo is a 'leader' etc.

After every bad game people speak of replacing Frenkie
Nonsense. It's not like he is the best midfielder on planet but it would be absolutely retarded to sign a midfielder right now considering situation on other positions
We have Gavi, Pedri, FDJ that's 3 top midfielders at their best. Olmo and Fermin two very good attacking midfielders as well. Casado, Bernal and Garcia helpful squad players who can hold their ground against most sides if necessary . I would call this a complete midfield, but some key pieces of it are missing. Gavi is injured, Olmo is still finding his form, Fermin is still inconsistent, Bernal is still recovering. Let's hope this is sorted out by later stages of the season

Nah you don't sell him now he does a good job for us most times.
but in a world where you can get a bigger personality in midfield, you absolutely sell him.

The midfield to me and has in other games gets too stretched as have to get players up and around Lewa who cant do much when isolated.. canrt dribble, cant run in behind, cant hold up ball for team to get up park.
Then likes of Fermin end up playing like second strikers to get up and around him and make runs he cant.
It leaves midfield light and almost a 442 at times.

Need to have an idea of what personality is in football.
It is not what Gavi, Casado and Araujo show.
It is far more the players like Pedri and Frenkie who will keep looking for ball and take game on with what do on ball.
Yamals has it.
Raph has it but much more for what does on ball than anything vocal.

Would you swap him for Caicedo or Bellingham today?

Caicedo 100x we need a DM, I've been saying that for years.
Bellingham we don't need

Personally I would sell Olmo, Fermin and change way midfeld play to offer more balance.
Less of this AM who is virtually and second striker to Lewa... easier when replace Lewa.
