Busi in his prime got cucked by a Chelsea counterattack in 2012, dude never was known to be a natural DM. He is the most overrated player of the Pep era. It's a shame that other players like Dani Alves never got their proper praise simply because they were not La Masia.

We can agree to disagree, because no way I believe prime Busi would still play well in other less possession based systems.

Yes busi would look bad if you put him in a physical EPL side. He would look terrible playing at United or Chelsea. Busi is a system DM. always has been. Many people like Yaya Toure in this forum because he is a better natural DM. He could fit into more systems than Busi. At current Barca, Lucho...

Players compliment eachother and a lot of players look very good in other teams primarily because they play in a good, cohesive system. A lot of the players that this forum wants like Haaland and Mbappe would still look like shit in this current Barca. The other top teams do not also have years...

I would actually argue Copa America 2015 and 2016 were more disappointing for Leo. Missed penalty, so close in both tournaments, only a hair difference between Chile and Argentina. At least in WC you could tell that as a whole Germany had a better team.

Expecting a revenge/angry game with a fired up team. Messi to bag at least 2 goals

Legend

I would actually say PL >> La Liga = Ligue 1 >> Serie A >> Bundesliga. Bundesliga is complete shit outside top 4+Dortmund

It's very tricky to determine if this is true. Let's compare Sergio Ramos to him. Ramos is a true leader and everyone in that RM team is scared to talk back to him. He commands respect. in the big moments he has been absolutely clutch for them, whether it's a defensive effort or offensive...

Even Haaland won't be able to save this Catalan Titanic.

You can't keep switching coaches and hoping something works. The problem is way deeper than just the coach. You can't possibly expect any trophies with how chaotic this club is.

It's funny how nearly all these new gen players modeled their game after Nadal and Djokovic. Just a survival test now of who lasts the longest in a point. Medvedev is a lot more excitement and can be unpredictable. Karatsev also looks fun to watch with his deadly forehand. Hopefully it's an all...

I think he's overrated and only slightly better than Junior Firpo. I hope I am proven wrong.

It feels as though the club has been trying to find a poster boy since the Dembele signing. Then Coutinho, then Griezmann. Truth is no player can bring in the money that Messi and even Ronnie were able to. I don't even understand what the front office is trying to accomplish. It hasn't felt like...

That will be another very dumb move by the club. We cannot afford a poster boy and this club does not need to take anymore loans out. That would be insane. It would ensure another 3-4 seasons of chaos.

To be fair you are one of the biggest messi stans on this forum, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that you target the people giving logical criticism of Messi and basically saying, "Messi is a legend. don't you dare criticize him. you are ungrateful". I have never read a single...

And with what funds are we going to buy Haaland? He will cost a lot more than what we can get from selling Griezz, Dembele, and Cou (assuming any team still wants him).

I could definitely see him getting out of this club if it's still the same shit in the CL next season. He deserves to be in a contender team and is reaching an age where he is not a youngster anymore (23 going on 24).
