By the way, if they extend Frankie, there will be three players in position 6 - Cassado, Bernal, Frankie. What will they do with this? Why not squeeze Frankie out of the club?

There is a feeling that the club may sell one of: 1. Araujo 2. Fermin to buy Nico. Araujo is the number one candidate, if this option does not work, it is quite possible that they will try to sell Fermin. It will be a disaster.

If they sign a left winger, then Raphinha will definitely play as a false nine. Ideally, of course, Lewandowski should be sold. If he stays, I think he’ll be the third-choice striker after Rafa and Torres.

His knees "ended" back in 2017. Excess weight contributed to this, among other things. But we couldn't get rid of him for a long time, because the main person in the club was his friend in the person of the little dictator.

Yes, I made a serious mistake in my calculations.

The amount of distance covered is generally a very crude indicator. Context is important, yes. For example, Vinni has a higher mileage in the Champions League than Raphinha, but no one in their right mind would say that he defends better than Raphinha. But 7 km is a very low indicator.

To be honest, very weak numbers - Diaz, Raphinha run on average more than 1.5 km more. At the same time, they are both 5 years older than Nico))

7 km per 90. Sorry, but no...we don't need him.

That's what I would do if I were him. He was on very little money at Liverpool - it's amazing they managed to negotiate such a salary with him. 28 years old. I would definitely choose Saudi Arabia.

By the way, we need to further analyze how good Niсo is at working without the ball. In the Europa League, he ran an average of 7 km per match. At the same time, Diaz, who plays in a more attacking team, ran an average of 8.8 km per match.

The thing is, Diaz's salary demands are lower. He earns no more than €4 million gross at Liverpool. I think he would agree to a salary of €7–8 million gross at Barcelona, which amounts to €3.5–4 million net. Nico earns €10 million gross at Bilbao. Taking into account the tax rate in Bilbao...

Buying him is pointless if we are going for Nico (and that seems to be the case). However, if we manage to push Lewandowski out after buying Niko, then buying Perisic will become relevant again.

Raphinha, Nico, Torres, Lewandowski, Yamal — how are they planning to distribute playing time? I see only one solution: Lewandowski will become the last-choice option in the attacking line. Either he'll leave or he'll be a reserve player and the 5th option. Obviously, with such a salary he...

Hmm...

Regarding Nico. So, we have the guy named Fermin. I understand that he and Nico play in different systems, but the fact that Fermin is a midfielder and still not a guaranteed starter, while Nico is a winger and a regular in the starting XI, somewhat balances out the difference in playing...

Natural physical "data" is very good, basic skills are also in order, he raises his head when dribbling the ball - it's good, plus you can’t say that his left leg is weak. His future depends on his hard work. Comparisons with Roque are absurd. As soon as I saw Roque in action, I immediately...

This is a good option. If I'm faced with a choice — Rashford/Leão or Perisic— I'll choose the latter, and it doesn't matter that he's 36. He's an incredibly hard-working player. That's exactly the kind of player Flick's system needs. Rashford and Leao — they're two lazy guys, mood players, and...

Nico, Diaz - these are questionable options for one reason or another. Leao, Rashford - these are not players for Flick's system. Absolutely not. Two lazy asses. So, given that there are no good options for the LW position on the market right now, why not take Perisic for one season?

I don't understand why some people here were offended by the comparisons with Mahrez. Mahrez was a great footballer. I'm just saying that you shouldn't expect Lamine to become an absolute number one, like Messi was in his time. Well, look at Mahrez. Lamine is stylistically more Mahrez than...
