    This is true. Something that has to be considered, too, is playing for Barca these days means playing very slow, cautious football. I would like to see him in a team that is attuned to his temperament and moves accordingly.

    International coaches? Are we going to default our judgement to the opinions of people who don't watch him play anymore than we do? That's ridiculous. A coach's opinion has wheight because they see him in training everyday. International coachs base their picks much more on what they've seen on...

    Note that I'm still not saying I believe that Puig is good enough to be a Barca player. But this 'headless chicken' regurgitating is getting a bit old. He's more erratic, yes, but if we're at that level of hyperbole, then Pedri's weaknesses, being timid, conservative, slow, toothless, could be...

    I might be inclined to agree if there's was more of a pattern than what you're hinting at. Valverde was conservative with him as he was with any other prospect. Setien really liked him. Koeman doesn't like him. That's really one coach. So what? Mourinho discarded KDB. How much does that tell...

    what is, by the way, the point of this sort arguing. simply declaring: 'he's bad. he wouldn't start for any team'. then I say. 'no he's actually good. he would start for any team'. it's not very stimulating to my intellectual libido

    His point wan't that Riqui Puig is not physically strong. That's not a point, that's an observation. His point was that Riqui being of below average physical strength has had to resort to move all the time as he can't hold his own. This is a ridiculously stupid point as it is what literally any...

    i guess it's normal that this is what happens when prospects have been in that limbo for a while; people's opinons harden, they become inflexible to conflicting evidence. but i am here to tell you that i see beyond the irrational tendencies of the human race, i have seen the glories of football...

    there is a weird amount of selective attention going on. every time he makes a mistake, it confirms this hypothesis that he's a fraud. everytime he does something good, it's brushed to the side.

    Also remember him being the only one of our midfielders able to handle Thomas Partey a few years ago. Really doesn't harmonize will with what you're saying. Ultimately my hunch is that he's too erratic to start for Barca but it would still need to be confirmed by watching him play...

    Lol are you seriously saying that it's normal for midfielders to just stay in the same position and shrug off opponents coming to take the ball away? Honestly doesn't sound like we're watching the same sport. Physical superiority is important for attackers who receive the ball with one defender...

    6 - Gavi

    Could be great but needs to work on trimming the frills off his game, kill his darlings, learn how to cut to the core, exorcise that Isco-gene.

    Not a sparkling bunch this.. Gavi looking pretty good. There's just something about the way he runs, the heel striking thing, that I automatically associate with a sort of Isco-brand effeteness.

    Riqui's got that Messi gene of always looking for the genius path. Shame he hasn't got the quality to pull it off all the time..

    I liked that we used to have a distinctive color identity. They probably think they've done something cool or forward looking with the more faded nuances but we just end up looking like Levante.

    Don't get Demir's positioning. Needs to roam a bit more wide and take on players.
