I made the mistake of reading one of Jam dav's posts, inadvertently. Of course the thicko has read all this as 'he won't be as good as Messi!' That's not the argument, thicko - the argument is he won't be within several levels of him and will be below dozens of other players historically too...

He's miles off Messi, and it's highly questionable if he will be a top 30 player of all time too. His ceiling is about top 20 or 15, but I think that will prove too much for him. Still, he can be the best player in the world right now, as donkeys like Haaland and Bellingham are the other...

@te amo barca Finally put you on ignore - it's been a long time coming given your condescending attitude and how much coping, delusional, overly optimistic bollocks you talk about Barca. Glad I don't have to read your overly positive and excuse making posts from now on. Enjoy the site son.

Anyway, this is ultimately a pointless debate. The sad reality is that you would turn down a billion euro bid for this unknown quantity (about five time the current transfer record, yes FIVE) so you clearly have zero sense of perspective, understanding of the value of money, and are a lunatic...

'Same developmental path' As I wrote, development is rarely linear. Loads of players shone brightly at the start, then fizzled out. If you think Lamine is immune to this possibility, then think again. @FinBarcelonafan is one of the better posters on here and definitely a better poster than you...

Admittedly he's close to Neymar level, but not on his level either for me. Yes, if he continues. Which is a huge if. Developmental is not often linear. You're trying to frame me as someone who doesn't rate Yamal and wants him to fail. I actually think he's excellent and could well be the best...

'only that he has achieved more at the same age - which is true.' Who cares? It's obvious to anyone with half a brain he's miles off Messi's talent. That was true and very obvious even when Messi was 18 and had 'achieved less'. Have some fucking foresight for fuck sake.

Some people on here act like this immature child who just stopped using his potty is the second coming of Jesus. It is truly fucking cringe to put a child on a pedestal like that. Especially by older men who could be his dad and who should know better.

Alternatively, he could fail to deliver and live up to his promise. you could look like a clown too. I never said he won't be the best player in the world. But there's a difference between that and being a billion pound player. The way you guys build him up he has to be Maradona, Pele and Messi...

He's a great talent, but even he is overrated on here, like the majority of Barca players, as @malvolio says. He can maybe be a top 20 player of all time, but the clowns on here think he's the next Messi, Maradona, Cruyff. Same fannies who consider Raphinha a legend of the game after one good...

I never said I am the 'embodiment of a rational thinker'. I am in this debate though, as you're the lunatic who wants to reject five times the world record transfer fee for an unproven child. Nostalgia is all you can say to anyone who disagrees with you. Not the first time you have resorted to...

I will say it again - a billion Euros is almost five times the current transfer record for Neymar (himself a bigger talent than Yamal), which by itself is significantly bigger than the second biggest fee ever. Yet you would turn this down. For a guy who isn't even a Messi or Maradona level...

I don't wish failure, I wanna see him do well. But I am being a realist and I know the traps. On the other hand, from interacting with you over the last year, you are the eternal optimist/delusionist/excuse maker. The Barca version of a Man U top red.

There's other ways that billion could come in useful. The way a league or company operates isn't a valid reason for turning down a billion euros for a player. Come on mate. Yamal is not that calibre of player. Yes he adds a lot to the team, but if it was possible, that billion could be used to...

Also, as I, malvolio and others have said, you are taking it for granted that this 18-year-old boy will just improve and improve and go on to be a legend of the gam. He could easily fail to live up to his initial promise. EASILY. Seen it before many times. Not taking the billion is too much of...

You still don't tuen down a billion for any player. Not even Messi. And certainly not Yamal. That's almost five times Neymar's record, which on itself blows away the second-highest. I am not familiar with how La Liga is run, and don't care either as there's a lot more important things going on...

And talent or all-round game.

Agree. The World Cup was the icing on the cake, but only shallow people needed him to win it for him to be considered the best player ever. And their opinion doesn't matter. Winning or losing that penalty shootut against France doesn't change his level of alien talent or lessen the things he...

Wouldn't surprise me if he goes off the rails and his career fizzles out tbh. Or he fails to live up to his initial promise. And I rate him more than you do. But wouldn't surprise me at all. He's already starting to believe his own hype and displaying signs of ego and thinking he's made it. Seen...

Tbh it's likely to be that way for a long long time. We won't get a player close to Messi for decades, if it ever comes in our lifetime. We witnessed an alien; a true one-off.
