Still Messi mate, but yeah, his changes of direction with the long pass are very good.

This is the best course of action in my opinion. Let them play in CL against better teams, this will prove to be more important than some 20m we will have to pay over this year's fee. However, there is some issues with our budget next year. If they follow their normal progress, these 2 players...

Paulinho is killing it in china. He's their Messi/Ronaldo. Better players than Paulinho have flopped but he thrieves like no other.

I wish him the best! Still don't understand the vitriol toward him. He's not really what we need, that's true, but so what, it's not like it's his fault. He realized this and immediately chose to pursuit a career elsewhere. I have so much more respect for this kind of players than the ones who...

Be ready for Pogba's contract negotiation. The fat rat is already spreading fake news to get his client a pay raise. Each of us, Real, PSG and Juve will be close to signing him at least 10 times. If not in January, then for sure in the next summer.

In my opinion, his best CL match in the last 5 years was the one against ManCity 1-0 in 2015. Messi didn't score but that performance was absolutely orgasmic. He dismantled them pass by pass, he humiliated them dribble by dribble. One of the most complete performances I have witnessed in my...

Besides the fact that we should've tried to attack a lot more from the get go, instead of that pragmatic style I mentioned previously, at least at half time we should've changed our approach since were being run over by dropping back so low. Dembele should've been deployed on that right flank at...

Ter Stegen should've been there too. None of the goalkeepers were anything special and until that shitshow vs Rome, which wasn't his fault at all, he conceded only 2 goals.

The most damning thing was that after Roma scored the third goal, we actually pushed them back in their own box for the remaining minutes, which was too late unfortunately. So we had the right mentality but only after we were out. Can't help but think the players and Valverde were planing on...

If you stand still for a second you can hear God Serena having an orgasm. :mou: Seriously now, fucking hell, what a deal! On par or better than anything we've done this summer transfer wise. 3 birds one stone. Jackpot! Could be the best for them too. All around fantastic imo.

You see where the priorities are when people go out of their way to defend asinine posts. Agree to disagree. Let's move on.

Because when I brought it up you didn't have any problem with me mentioning the crass overrating of Rakitic in that comment. You brought up position, so it seemed to me that you low-key considered it valid. My bad. That's fair enough, however BBZ is one of the more vocal ones on these forums so...

:rolleyes:

What does it matter if they play different positions? Raki was considered better and more important than Lionel Messi last season for a board member. It's asinine regardless of what position they occupy. For example, I consider Ter Stegen second to Messi in importance and quality last season. Do...

All fair points but i disagree with the notion that he'll chose them because they have more space in the mid for him. If we bid for him he'll chose us regardless of whoever else does. Well, unless the difference in bids and wages is massive which is unlikely. We weren't in for Modric and we...

You know what, I agree with this. However, when you highlight Raki's shortcomings, people will jump on you saying that he plays out of position and whatnot. But Busquets' best position is not in a double pivot as well. The truth is that it's neither his or Busi's best position but Rakitic...

You don't think that if we're both in for him he wouldn't chose us? The guy like posts of our players left, right and center. He's as much as Barca fanboy as some of us. If we are going for him 100%, he's nailed on to come.

No dude, I watched clouds spinning around. "Far better", "Raki brilliant" Busquets was not anything special but those are too big a words for Raki's performances for us last season.

Please. They were about the same level and Busi was better as a CDM than Rakitic.

Suarez is sometimes running like a headless chicken when pressing and Messi doesn't bother closing down passing lanes by shifting his position a few meters. This is also on the manager who should work on our pressing phases some more so all our players are in sinc when doing that. This in turn...
