Hopefully this season he can be more adventurous and bold with his tactics

If he is desperate about coming back he should be wiling to pay a part of the transfer fee. At least 50%.

Such a shame.

Stunning. :mou:

I’m just glad it isn’t old man Filipe Luis.

Gameiro, Vietto, Martinez great attacking players.... Ok man. :coffee:

Nice :tito:

We have a habit of buying players without properly considering their strengths, weaknesses and preferred positions. We buy them and then rely on the coach to make all the pieces fit and worse we have a coach who is unimaginative and clueless when it comes to tactics. Look how obsessed Simeone...

Did they include a buy back clause?

Guess most of the other top clubs are settled at LB for now.

Lol, bro really? Dude took the best deal his agent could get him. He’s getting paid and most importantly more playing time which is what he needs most right now at 22. Deals like this should be a lesson for us. If you’re not prepared to give these kids the playing time to develop and grow then...

Dembele is the only player in attack with genuine pace. He’s unpredictable and frustrating at times but he creates danger with his speed. Whether he starts or not he should be playing a lot this season especially with Suarez and Leo getting older.

There’s limited minutes because the coach doesn’t value nor see the benefits of rotation. He’s too short sighted to make use of depth. Even if we had MSN they would be burnt out by March under him. If Malcolm is sold we should look at another attacker with some pace. We’re already slow upfront...

I’m not suggesting that Malcom will turn into another Salah. I used examples of Salah / De Bruyne to show how difficult it is for clubs to really determine how a player would develop. Otherwise those players would probably have never left Chelsea in the first place.

Hope he does well there. A typical question from typical fans. Chelsea sold Salah for next to nothing. Guess how much he’s worth now.

We should loan him. He can be a good contributor off the bench, but not with Valverde here IMO, that's the problem. Once Valverde settles on his starting XI he rarely rotates. So for example if he settles on Greizmann--Suare--Messi as a front three the next options Dembele/Malcolm would rarely...

He can play anywhere in a midfield three. His standout games last season were against Juve and Real. In both matches he played as DM.

Dortmund and Arsenal are interested in him.

"Valverde didn't change his tactics until it was too late" Sounds familiar.

Vidal has the lungs to push forward but he can also play as a destroyer. I would put him at DM and the ball playing midfielders Arthur and Frenkie in front. In a 4-3-3 that is. But then again most people would say a destroyer as pivot is not the Barca way.
