I really hope we?re not in for Depay, as he isn?t anywhere near good enough. Gaya is ?ok?. Though in truth, I?d prefer someone faster and more athletic, because the team is severely lacking in that regard. That said, I can?t really think of anyone at the moment who would be an obvious...

Because they?re all past it and on huge wages. The club will be lucky to get any money for the likes Suarez, Rakitic, Busquets, Pique etc

I?ve always felt that he should be a backup in his position. I think in his time here, he?s been pretty passive and is poor when defending one on one (personally I think Semedo is our only good one on one defender). I?ll wait and see how he handles Bayern.

Hmm I thought he was good.

Pochettino please. We?ve not had a top manager since Pep.

Maybe the club needs money? Arthur, Semedo, Messi, Dembele, FDJ, Coutinho are really the only players that clubs would be prepared to pay any sort of decent fee for. Obviously Messi + FDJ are not on the market. No one is going to be interested in paying money for Rakitic, Vidal, Pique, Alba...

Not really. He is a player who thrives in a system with lots of movement. There is very little of that at Barcelona, so it?s natural that he has not yet put in the performances we have seen him put in with Ajax and the Netherlands.

So much sense in one post.

I thought he played well. He’s essentially having to deal with the entire flank by himself with the current setup/personnel.

That’s very distasteful. And I’m not even one of those PC warriors.

Rakitić is Croatian and taller. Arthur is rightly his back up.

It’s 2020 and we have a MF of Busquets, Vidal, Rakitic. What a joke.

Of course Juve are not interested. He’ll end up going to Milan or Inter for about 5m Euros at some point or somewhere like the MLS.

Most Utd fans moan about him. Good defender, but no composure or ability on the ball.

1) Neves is the very definition of a highlights reel player. Will play a spectacular pass here and there, or pull out a 30 yard strike occasionally but can’t control a midfield and is horribly immobile and slow. 2) Argument for Kimmich although he is two years older than Arthur. So doesn’t...

And who will the club be buying that is an obvious upgrade in the position?

Roberto gets turned out by pretty much any winger with average to good pace he comes up against. You don’t need to be particularly observant to have noticed that surely? I’ve seen Semedo have a tough time against Vicinius on one occasion, but by and large he is very good in 1v1 defensive...

Still waiting for people to name me five CM’s his age or younger who are as accomplished, developed, or as promising as him?

Out of interest, can anyone name any CM’s Arthur’s age (23) or under who are quite clearly, better prospects and/or performing or have performed better than Arthur? Are they first choice for a top international side in their position and are they performing regularly well in a top league?

So after about a total of 80 minutes under Setien, you’re now comfortable concluding that we’ve now “seen him under 2 managers”? Aside from the ludicrously limited number of minutes we’ve seen him or anyone else under Setien, he’s also just back from a lengthy period without playing. The time to...
