Matthijs de Ligt
I'd rather we focus on clearing out excess players (Rakitic and possibly Coutinho) and get a striker before focusing on something like de Ligt. However, if we were to sell even one of Raki/Cou let alone both we'd be doing fine financially. Honestly I'd prefer if Umtiti just fixed his knees and...- DonAndres

Arthur
He played with so much confidence with all of those line breaking forward passes. He needs to be trusted and starting continuously to gain more rhythm. As his comfort and awareness on the pitch rise, so does his passing range. The way he's developed this season is awesome. Young guys with...- DonAndres

Frenkie de Jong
Never expected this to happen lol, I had stopped caring for a while. Pleasantly surprised. Barto avenged his L to Nasser, and has been building a good résumé with his transfers since last summer. We don't even need more than a couple more transfers to secure the squad long term now. Not sure... -
Tanguy Ndombele
He's gonna have to play great against us to get the attention of the board I think. It's pretty fortunate that a player of N'dombele's quality is also an option even though FDJ is out. The problem is we don't know if Barca will be interested, nor how Lyon will react to offers. Are they shopping...- DonAndres

Arthur
He just moves so much offensively compared to the likes of Busi/Rakitic. It's night and day when comparing those two to Vidal and Arthur, who are always in motion. That raises the involvement level of our other players like Dembele, Semedo, and most importantly Messi. Only one of Rakitic or...- DonAndres

10 - Lionel Messi - V6
Messi is primed to pass Pele's goal tally. 100 goals in all competitions left to pass him and he has plenty of years to do it. IMO if he stays healthy and plays till around 37-38 I think he'll probably pass Bican too, which is absurd. He's taking goalscoring records from the 30's-70's, every... -
Luka Jović
I would personally pick Jovic over Maxi for sure. I don't think Jovic would be unreasonably expensive and he is definitely worth the gamble for his upside. I haven't watched him play live, but just look at the sheer variety in his goalscoring highlights as well as the fact that he is the tied...- DonAndres

Jean-Clair Todibo
Don't have a clue about this dude but De Ligt seems like a truly hopeless case now so it's not like it hurts. Good build and looks very athletic which is becoming critical for CB's at the highest level (Koulibaly, VVD, Varane, Umtiti pre injury). I can't say anything about him as a player but...- DonAndres

Frenkie de Jong
MD is still saying he wants to go to Barca. My take is that Ajax badly wants him to go to PSG because they likely made a ridiculous offer, while FDJ himself would prefer Barca. That would explain why French sources are all saying PSG and Ajax have reached a deal, he's going to PSG, etc. And... -
Frenkie de Jong
He's picked up a knack for goalscoring recently with like 3 in the last month. I always thought he'd be very capable of setting himself up to shoot/score because of his other abilities, finally he looks confident enough to do it. Surprised how quickly it's come, don't think FDJ had scored more... -
7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1
I would say under the current circumstances we could use him similar to how RM used Isco in rotation in years past, but EV is not practical with substitutes at all. I think we could win pretty much any games with Coutinho/Vidal at CM except maybe a few bad matchups. And that can be rotated... -
Luka Jović
He looks very good. Sturdy build and wins his share of aerial duels but has a very Griezman-like game on the ball and great shooting technique. Hope we show interest in him at some point but he definitely won't be that cheap once big clubs start to take notice (and Barca will not be the first...- DonAndres

Ivan Rakitić
It's honestly just a very low quality article. Exactly the level of writing I'd expect from any one of those "twitter experts" who try their hand at being actual journalists. The article isn't very long at all to start with, and on top of that a vast majority of it is fluff and unsubstantial...- DonAndres

Ivan Rakitić
Compare the anonymity of most of his performances to that of Vidal who is literally everywhere or even Busquets recently who's contributed a lot going forward. IMO Vidal has been a bigger part of our recent resurgence in midfield and before that it was Arthur prior to his injury. Rakitic is a...- DonAndres

Mohamed Salah
I think he for sure is better than Torres was for Liverpool, hasn't yet reached Suarez level (for them) but it's certainly possible. I don't think he'll compare to Suarez career wise when it's all said and done because of what Luisito did for us in the treble season and then his 60 goal season...- DonAndres

Moussa Wague
Looking forward to it. I want to see if he can be a proper 2 way right back unlike Roberto who is horrible 1v1 and Semedo who is absent offensively. And if he features regularly with the 1st team then we get to see more of Morey with the B team (who looks like a truly special offensive talent)...- DonAndres

Adrien Rabiot
It's a matter of opportunity cost. We're once more filling our mdifield with bodies that we don't need and likely to give up on targets that look talented enough to be future starters for us (FDJ, N'dombele). I don't see what is the great highlight in the purchase of a guy as poor a tactical...- DonAndres

Adrien Rabiot
Rewrite history??? You're saying this based on fucking arbitrary Whoscored ratings??? Jesus Christ. No context, no observation of the game, just spitting out a rating and you think I "rewrote" history and you came in and valiantly corrected the record. He was a turnover machine against Real...- DonAndres

7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1
I had these reservations about Coutinho before we signed him, but I think some people are getting a bit too hasty about his form. The position problem is a serious one. He was supposed to have been bought to elevate the midfield but instead went to LW and screwed up the dynamic we'd intended to...
