    Xavi Hernández

    In Xavi defense, Casado developed a lot in the last season, and he plays far better in CDM. Casado actually can't bring the ball from the back and we rely a lot on Pedri in that regard. Xavi system didn't have double pivot and Casado would have looked terrible in it. Could argue that Xavi...

    Was it Bojan Sr or Junior?

    La Liga 24/25

    They have won La Liga in 2021. he is talking about Atletico Madrid, not Bilbao

    Copa Libertadores

    Luiz Henrique scored a goal and earned a penalty for the 2nd goal. Looked good with Betis, and is one of their best players. One would have hoped such players could be kept in Liga tbh

    Fermin and Torre should be before anyone from Barca B, but with 2 wingers in front of them. Then Torres as winger and Raphinha as 10, assuming Lamine is healthy. Then when we need an AM, try Unai, who is at this point is far better than Guille, who looked like we rushed promoting him to B team.

    4231 brings the best of both Casado and Pedri, 433 will likely make them worse. It isn't worth it tbh, 433 should have been dead the moment Busquets was out of the club. This is Pedri's midfield now.

    Deco

    Celtics can veto that

    Deco

    I hope that for once, he will make Barca go for depth rather than just another high profile starter. Fix depth on the wings, fullbacks and GK. We will be miles better.

    La Liga 24/25

    Just realizes that former La Masia kids Matue Morey and Robert Navarro are starting for Mallorca. Valancia looks decent. Gaya seems to help them to be accountable

    Kylian Muppet

    Yeah, I've to disagree too. Mbappe was never a consistent demon, he was always hot and cold. Even in the World Cup, Griezmann was better player until the semis. A stupid decision by Otamendi and he was suddenly the hero of France and had great world cup. This is the same from what we have seen...

    Only "small" one is Pedri, and as you say he is playing the Thiago role. Casado too, but that's due to Bernal injury

    16 - Fermín López

    Fermin was great in the Olympics, too. It is a list of 22 midfielders, with a bit of inclusion criteria from what it seems. There will always be names that doesn't belong.

    Nico Williams

    He is doing well jn Europa league.

    Kylian Muppet

    It isn't just the CL, he was performing at his best in the league. PSG themselves aren't great in CL under Lucho, at all. Mainly because the team lost every ounce of playmanking at the time.

    That mistake could have never happened, PSG loses, and it was still a career year for him.

    Koeman might promise him a starting place just to piss Laporta :koeman:

    He had his best club season last year.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    His amortization is around 10.7M per year, assuming he was bought for 80M, a little less than 11.5M per year if the maximum valuation (86M, all bonuses to Ajax were paid) was paid. At most, 17.2M remaining in January. 25M is also the amount I expect for him. If he signs for 5 years in another...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Sport isn't reporting the news, just pointing to the fact that he was the last midfielder to enter the game yesterday. I think Frenkie is clearly first option, as Pedri sub

    6 - Gavi

    How is that different from his Xavi days, though? He wasn't disciplined enough to be DM, he wasn't controlling the tempo to be CM and he wasn't creative enough to be AM. He had some great games in midfield trio, but Gavi excelled more as 4th midfielder. He is La Masia version of Valverde, for...
