    Luka Jović

    So is this one a pretty much done deal (he agreed with Barca, wants to go to Barca, and just the fee in question where they have to field older clubs offers not to be totally off the mark in underselling), or is all wide open?

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    No connection to BBZ, but we have a saying the most popular guy on monday is the back-up quarterback. Fans most always think the guys on the bench (or available as free agents) are better, until these guys actually have to play against real opponents. La Masia should of course continue, if you...

    Kylian Muppet

    CR never carried a crap team on his back to anything. Mbappe has shown a lot of things already that CR does, excellent poacher, striker, clinical finisher, gets to balls quicker/higher than others can. Though maybe not the level of free kicks CR did as a younger player, but other than that can't...

    Kylian Muppet

    LM, I think he got mixed up with Liga NOS, and I think after back and forth jockeying, Ligue 1 is solidly ahead of them now and probably will be for the forseeable future.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Well we play with 3 in our formation, who do you have next? Who was the 3 better midfielders last year, or 3 better the year before that?

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    I'd still rather have him in an emergency than a young guy not dominating in 3rd tier Spanish football. Best case he is 2mil we never had to use. Remember it all came about because we sent Munir away, I assume more for the locker room than anything. KPB and Murillo are loans with no obligation...

    Frenkie de Jong

    How about just having 3 better midfielders than him, which we havn't had but just might next year?

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    I'd rather spend 2m and have a little bit more insurance to survive a period if say Suarez + Dembele were not available through injury or suspension.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    I am not a huge EV fan. Nor was I a huge LE fan. However we had lost our stranglehold on La Liga the year before last and Madrid bombed us in the Supercup before last season started, and we had lost Neymar. The team had a great year last year, for me it was just a bit sour because Roma part II...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Xavi > Modric or Pirlo, pretty much those twos best qualities in 1 player. Modric and Pirlo are a little different, but two of the best central mids of their era. Pirlo really was best player outside of Buffoon for that Italy WC winner, later (Juve) he became more limited and needed a dedicated...

    Adrien Rabiot

    Well I can see them asking, just look at the crazy amount Aaron Ramsey got from Juve. Ramsey is 28, gets injured a lot and is inconsistent--rather have Rabiot honestly. I think he could be a good compliment with Busquets, Arthur & FDJ. But don't want to be crazy on wage and he has to want to...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    I agree. The one thing kind of lost on the CL is it is the most out of your control of the trophies. You can have the bets team but one off game or fluke and your out. Winners have to be great teams, but they also need some luck. All 4 of Real's recent wins would have gone a different way with...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Well if he gets around Barelona like he gets around with the moms and partners of many posters in barcaforum, he isn't going to be very well liked.

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Hasn't he said he wants to wait until the season is over to make a decision. Best for us too--see how Umtiti comes along and Tobido, or even if Tobido might be able to play another position. I know as fans we like to have certainty now, but perhaps best for him and club to be patient and make...

    Neymar Jr.

    I'd be very happy to have PSG finish off United and than Real, or the Atleti-Juv winner or Spurs. PSG are far from my least favorite club still left. Plus win or lose it would be a lot more entertaining to watch them than say Atletico. Barca, City, Liverpool, Bayern, PSG--matches and ties...

    Frenkie de Jong

    I agree it all depends on the combination. Kante and Fernandino are much better with certain players around him. Xabi Alonso and Pirlo were best with the right compliments as well. Few are like Xavi that make anyone and everyone better. Modric and Kroos are pretty good poor mans versions though...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Wijnaldum, bernando silva. Common folks if he is 3/4 the player Modric is it is a phenom buy. Modric is a special player with special stamina. Not Xavi. but then noone else since him either, Modric or Pirlo is a close as you get to a controlling midfielder who was a continual stamp all game...

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    I think this is it. He would only play if Messi, Suarez, Dembele, Coutinho and Malcom are not available for the 3 forward spots (even Roberto in a spot can be right wing--of course than we have no depth at FB), or it is an inconsequential match/minutes.

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    It is a loan with a purchase option. He was just a replacement for Munir--emergency filler, anything produced from him, in any match, is a bonus.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    I just looked at some data. Freaken stark contrasts: La Liga minutes: 17-18, Messi 2997, Suarez 2902, Rakitic 2839, Busi 2600. 16-17 Messi 2833, Suarez 2865, Rakitic 2345, Busi 2693. 17-18, Modric 1976, Kroos 2268, CR 2293 16-17 Modric 1892, Kroos 2501, CR 2544 Not I did not break out...
