Mbappe actually compares in terms of goals, plus he has a world cup which he was very much involved in. He also has more goals and assist than Ronaldo and Messi at that age, but he hasn't won any ballondor or fifa best player.

I don't think there's anything special in what he said, Leeds wanted to sell to Chelsea for whatever reasons, but Raphinha wanted Barca. That's what happened then, and that's all he said, though there was no need for him to talk about the first installment deadline (September 3rd)

Dembele and Raphinha would share the rw, Ansu and someone else would also share the lw

It's not even about Xavi, Alba would still play over Cucu for Spain. He creates far more chances attacking wise.

Alba would still have played over him, so it was a great decision for him to leave. He's good, but not up to Alba

It's actually misleading cause I felt his contract made him the highest paid player in Barca, not putting the deferrals into place. I also can't see Auba's high salary there, and it was reported that his salary was going to be massive after earning low wage for his first 6 months. Can't really...

This is valid, and good for us. Expecting great things from Lewa then

It's 6m net and 12m gross, it's reported that way to generate attention.

I don't know if I'm correct, but it seems the point you were making was that he's already wealthy enough and fans don't expect him to still fight for his remaining contract fee. My own point is that the money almost always matters and that even most of the highest-paid players or coaches would...

I think he'll cook at Chelsea. He's levels above Werner, and would show it if he goes there. He wasn't ready at Man Utd, and he didn't really have an extensive run with our top players while here cause they were mostly injured at the first half of the season and Xavi preferred Ferran at the...

The guaranteed money is why they chose to stay without playing, I bet you he leaves immediately if we pay him his 2 year wages. Same thing happens with coaches, they're paid their outstanding wages when their contract is terminated most times.

Spot on, realistically I don't think any club in Europe would pay him that (except clubs in places like Saudi Arabia), and he knows this. So he's doing what most players in his shoes would, and shaming him would most likely not change anything. I don't even get why we're surprised at what he's...

I don't think he has issues with leaving, we just need to pay him a termination fee cause he has a 2-year contract with us and can legally demand that.

This is the source (https://www.capology.com/club/leganes/salaries/2019-2020/). He was also their biggest player when we bought him and you never know their exact salary, cause most are assumptions and people chose to believe whatever they want to. So take salary news with a pinch of salt

The source says Barca pays him 6m gross and says he was paid 6m gross by Leganes. Another source says he was earning 2m gross at Middlesbrough, and he left Middlesbrough for Leganes, so it's likely he went for a higher salary even though it wasn't up to 6m. Looks like he's good at negotiating...

Sources online say he was earning 6m gross at Leganes, and just maintained that salary here. If that's the case, I don't see any cause for alarm. You can't expect him to come here and take a pay cut, especially when you look at the situation surrounding how we got him.

This league stat is flawed especially if you're trying to use it to calculate his availability in a season, for example he featured in 30/38 games in 20/21 which is 79% but you chose to go with the minutes even though he featured in 30 league games, same goes for 18/19 season where he featured...

The fact remains that players in our squad get injured a lot, cause Dembele has even had more league appearances than the likes of Pique, Pedri, Roberto, Fati, etc in the last two seasons, so something is definitely working for him, and he isn't even the most injury-prone player in the squad...

You seem to forget that he featured in 30 out of 38 league games in the 20/21 season, and also 29 league games in the 18/19 season here. I'll be okay if he can make 30 out of 38 league games this season.

If he repeats his form of the second half of last season without getting injured, 40m would be the least offer we receive for him. His injury record was what kept clubs at bay but if he can go a full season, he'll definitely get offers.
