    2024/25 Preseason

    Wouldn't Raphinha and Pau Victor both be more comfortable on the opposite wing from where they're playing?

    8 - Pedri

    Are you saying Pedri wasn't fit for the Euros?

    22 - Marc Bernal

    Not convinced so far. He has that drowsy, lumbering movement. Don't like it when our youngsters appear slow and sluggish next to a 38 year old Modric.

    Álex Valle

    An offensive full back who actually knows how to play the final ball!

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Nice to see attackers with the freedom to attack instead of having to hug the sideline for 90 mins.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    His bad form and the resulting criticism against him has clearly put him in a defensive mood, where he feels overeager to prove himself by scoring goals. I worry this is making him take selfish actions instead of passing it. He keeps talking about scoring as many goals as he used to as though he...

    20 - Dani Olmo

    He will be comfortably the best 10 at the club if he signs. If Flick wants to play with a 10, then it's not a bad signing. 26 is a good age as well. The big worry is his injury problems.

    Pablo Torre

    He's definitely the type of player to tip our game in favor of quick, vertical, high risk/high reward attacking. In that sense he could be a useful instrument in Flick's toolbox. Of course we already have Fermin who fulfills sort of the same role and I like him more.

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

    2024/25 Preseason

    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.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    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.
