    2024/25 Preseason

    Casado looks ready to take the step, yes. Roque clearly not at the level, should sell and move on asap.

    Bernal, I think I said the same thing in his thread previously, his decision making, vision and overall passing play is very impressive but he suffers from the same inherent sluggishness as Pedri. Too much walking around, moping, dropping of the head when he has to run.

    2024/25 Preseason

    Something about Torre's decision making seems unreliable to me but I like his aggression.

    Nico Williams

    You didn't see them regularly seeking each other out, often doubling up on either wing? They certainly wanted to make something happen but never got on the same wavelength. Yes I did see the assist that was nice.

    Nico Williams

    For all the talk of this friendship between Nico and Yamal there was surprisingly few sparks between them on the pitch.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    His finishing is very good for his age. His technique is close to fully developed, just needs experience and psychological maturity. Most 16-year olds are regularly miskicking/skying their chances, you just don't see them playing professional football.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    He looks really good in those videos physically, more natural and powerful in his movement. I'm gonna make a completele unqualified guess and say that he will be reborn this season.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    The body is more complex and holistic than you think. The jaw has important function in proprioceptive input, sensory processing, muscle and fascia activation. It's not a coincidence that on a general level, good athletes tend to have good teeth.

    Xavi did improve physical fitness. People have poor memories if they have forgotten just how limp and lethargic we were under Valverde/Setien/Koeman. Xavi brought other problems but our temper and spirit improved fundamentally with him. Still weren't world beaters in terms of intensity but we...

    Nico Williams

    Well schooled but not very talented. Could be an asset but 55m seems a bit desperate.

    8 - Pedri

    Doubt his fitness will improve significantly. He's been like this since he first came and he trains as much as the rest of our players none of whom have the same issues. Has to be some endurance defect particular to him.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Must be over 1.80 now? Very impressive how that growth spurt hasn't thrown his game at all. He has just naturally grown into it. I feel like will be his own type of player. Can't think of any good comparisons.

    Nico Williams

    Why do black kids from the netherlands have these extravagant americanized names? Memphis, Virgil, Denzel, Cody, Quincy, Crysencio Summerville. Looked through the youth nt's and saw Ezechiel, Jayden, Precious, Jesse, Don-Angelo, Jaygo, Austyn, Eternal.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    You want to buy a player that's not good enough to start for Everton, to play as a Barca pivot?

    17 - Marc Casadó

    His long passing is very impressive. A bit too nonchalant in possession.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I think he can play DM. Got the profile for it at least.

    22 - Marc Bernal

    Sorry but Bernal moves like a wet cloth next to a player like Ruiz. There is a glaring difference in athleticism and if we keep ignoring this we will continue to get emasculated against other top midfields. There is big difference between having players like, say Modric or Xavi Simons or Fede...

    22 - Marc Bernal

    Still a bit skeptical about his athleticism but have to admit he does have that natural football IQ that makes him stand out. The only one I've seen who might actually be comparable to Busquets in that regard. Should probably hold on to him.

    8 - Pedri

    I agree, but do we have any better candidates for the 10 position? Unless he wants to try either Raphinha or Yamal and they happen to work out, I still don't see anyone better suited than Pedri.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    And they did. I was never the biggest Xavi fan, but I will give him this. We're still not the most intense side in European football, but we are in MUCH better shape than we were before him.
