@M3ls Really no point discussing. He is like Serghei on steroids when he claimed Messi was our main sporting issue and the team would fly without the "amigos". Messi had a huge contract and also generated (and still does) monumental income and exposure to a club, that without him would have...

Cubarsi played ahead of two senior defenders when they were available. Yamal played instead of either ferran, Rafa or Felix when even available. This is not a given. Whether he was overused is another issue. Fermin was also trusted. Balde I think broke through with koeman but I don't remember...

They might have been promoted anyway buy getting this much playing time ahead of seniors isn't a given. Xavi had big impact on this.

He looks to be missing fundamental professional football player skills. Not sure adjusting to the surroundings and the club will help him.

He played in that final against us in 2004 and... we smacked them.. also in the groups.

Rafa beingnsubbed often, is all down to Lewa being undropable. it seems to have changed in the final games though. We also need someone else on the left so rafa can play right so the teenager doesn't get burnt out. Someone not called felix or ferran.

What seems possible, judging from this season, is that Fermin can be part of the squad, at least as a good attacking sub. He constantly makes good lateral moves, presses well and has a good shot and header. I like his different profile compared to our usual mids.

My concern with yamal is his pace to operate like a wide forward. He has good speed when controlling the ball but his overall top speed doesn't look too fast. Operating as an inside forward in the half space might suit him better in the long run.

Vitor and Felix might have an argument. but the others no way the can complain.

Would fit well. He is good for mid-table level teams.

The keeper can have his chance to sign if the team allows him that chance. Divu would not be a hero for Argentina if they got battered or didn't score before he had to step up. Mats had a shambolic defense in front of him. He has made his fair share of amazing saves in both league and cl. A WC...

Don't really get the counter argument here. maybe I missed it.

I still don't think he is all that. sorry folks. would be a top player if the game was 5v5 Street football. A great close control, silky technique and a good passing vision but no physical traits at all. Also no urgency, always laid back.

To me he looks out of sync with the team and not too happy. Only when he scores he looks OK. It's understood of course, being a top striker in your day and being overshadowed by kids and surrounded by bums to feel this way. I feel an imminent clash with the dressing room if he doesn't improve...

People in the forum want barca to be ruthless even with legends of the club and follow RM style. on the other hand when the club is ruthless in the case of a Brazilian youngster who cost too much and seems to have a bad attitude (see using his agent to make statements) and looks like an amateur...

I hear @BBZ8800 argument and it holds some small truth. Yamal doesn't look like a choir boy though. Also doesn't look like a cunt. He looks unfazed and cool. He fails and then goes and tries again anyway. he plays against superstars and doesn't give a shit. A really unique attribute to have at...

Until now we haven't ever used 16 year old players as starters. Yamal is a special talent and the coaching stuff know it. As always, whether he improves and reaches the status of a top player is impossible to tell. What is sure, is that we need to use him less than this. it is too much for any kid.

Aston Villa in the mud... our first team ever in a European final!!!!

One of the richest and most popular clubs in the world had the resources. they funked up over and over again, always shortsighted.

I think people don't actually understand how far behind RM we will be from next season. The club had no plan after Messi. while Real plans ahead all the time.
