    6 - Gavi

    He's been terrible for almost a year now and people are only seeming to admit it now. Since his rookie season which was great he only keeps going backwards. He's not improving and just making the same mistakes every time.

    Xavi Hernández

    What's up with the defense against Prem teams? It's actually baffling how it can go from being a literal wall against the Spanish teams to a chocolate teapot against any English team.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Clearly seems able to ability-wise just have to watch the physical demands on someone so young. Might be a lot to start full top division games at that age. Should be great off the bench regularly though.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    He is special (obviously) but actually special, not like Gavi 'special'. The athleticism he has on top of the game intelligence is incredible, his flexibility and smooth movements are reminiscent of the greats.

    2023 Preseason

    Interesting common denominator... The Prem teams all seem able to cut through our defense but when we play Spanish teams it is like a wall. That Tottenham lineup was dreadful.

    Neymar Jr.

    That's not what you said... you said their defense has 'proven' that they can perform under the lights in CL. They didn't prove anything in that Madrid defense, they were pathetic in the last two campaigns. They were carried by their attack and Courtois which is undisputably the reason they won...

    Neymar Jr.

    You saying this is actually so predictable.

    Neymar Jr.

    That's not what their defense does... Their defense conceded heaps almost every tie in the CL winning campaign and were saved from conceding more only by Courtois. Their defensive line was one of the worst in the tournament. It again showed how poor it is last year getting run through like a...

    Neymar Jr.

    The 'CL eventual finalists' got there by playing 33 year old Darmian at CB. The levels aren't as different as you always seem to think. Other teams have holes and injury issues as well, even Premier League ones.

    La Liga 23/24

    I think we will repeat the league. Xavi has the beating of Carlo and Carlo is historically poor in league title races, adding to that, they are going into the season with Joselu as main striker. If we could sign a couple more players would be even better.

    La Liga 23/24

    Top4 will be a breeze. Currently were far more likely to repeat the league than miss top4.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Out of all the players... When he misses games, you notice it the least. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up benched later this season. Don't think he will ever end up being worth more than 100m or so during his career which is what he's probably worth now. Selling him would probably hurt...

    2023 Preseason

    Why should Rudiger Militao and Carvajal get in? They were pathetic last season and also the season before conceding heaps of goals in CL. Meanwhile Barca nearly set an all time defensive record with likes of Araujo Christensen as key pieces. The attack being good doesn't mean that the defense...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Ansu and Gavi can still get good money on the market tho. They are assets. Gavi could sell for at least 80m.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Without Dembele... Lewa is going to suffer a lot. If Roque comes this summer he may take his spot.

    Deco

    So winning LaLiga in a dominant fashion as you said is not valid proof of superiority, but CL results are the only proof of superiority? Ironic. Funny how only European results are relevant now and league results aren't when suits the arguments.

    Bernardo Silva

    Wouldnt do it if we are paying a high fee.. Signing too many old players. At 29 he has a few years left but we'll have to spend big to replace him after that and ideally we need to be building for the future now.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Renewing him was the right decision anyway even if done on awful terms due to incompetence. We got an extra year out of him and 25+m from his transfer when had we listened to that idiot Alemany, we wouldn't have made any money and would have lost him for both top4 race and LaLiga challenge the...

    João Cancelo

    We will keep signing players and he will keep stating we need more signings after every single season instead of working with the express requests he asked for. Just stop involving him with transfers and move to a modern approach. Even the best coaches in the world have data-driven recruitment...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Kind of ironic given the teams he tends to show most against are likes of Elche, Valladolid and Cadiz. His record in games where he should 'prove' something like CL, EL, Madrid, Atletico so far hasnt been very good.
