    Arturo Vidal

    Kante was the player we needed but we're settling for the older, cheaper version

    Arturo Vidal

    We need a younger squad but at least we've started to address that this summer so one older player is okay and Vidal will shake the midfield up a bit. The midfield is looking a lot better. It's just Suarez as the weak link if he stinks the attack out again and jury still out on Dembele.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Busquets needs competition for his place and also rotated a lot more. He's been ran into the ground for years and it's starting to show.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    No, Real actually know what they're doing with transfers. La Masia talent factory dried up after Thiago. The few decent ones that the club keep hold of at 17 do get chances (Sergi Roberto, Rafinha, Deulofeu). Barca should be buying up the best young players but not paying Dembele prices for...

    Willian

    Might as well get Pedro back instead.

    Willian

    Why sign another 30 year old? You're left with Messi, Suarez, Busquets, Alba, Pique, Willian all getting old together over the next couple of seasons and then worth nothing but all needing to be replaced in a short space of time (as has just happened with Iniesta and Mascherano). That's more...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Willian is basically a better version of Paulinho but it's another player about to turn 30.

    Luis Suárez

    Suarez very much in sharp decline. Cavani still got some good years left at least.

    Luis Suárez

    If Neymar makes this happen it'd wipe the slate clean again I'd take a swap with Cavani.

    Paul Pogba

    Both were available in the same summer and we signed Andre Gomes.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Paulinho is crap. Awful technique, he's a poor man's Fellaini and never a Barca player. Willian is a good upgrade on him (a Barca midfielder with pace, whatever next?) but his age is not the profile of player we need to be signing, he's already peaked and hasn't exactly had a great career, in...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    The problem with Serie A is the bottom third is terrible and the teams coming up from Serie B always struggle - imagine Ronaldo against Benevento or Frosinone. These are pub teams. It should be a 16 or 18 team league.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Dybala, definitely. Higuain and Ronaldo will both score 30-40 goals in Serie A which Juve will win anyway. They're counting on Ronaldo winning them CL but Ronaldo bailed out by other players like Ramos and Bale every time..

    Cr150

    He probably knows they lose a lot of their luck with Zidane and they can't keep winning CL every season whereas one CL with Juve adds to his legend and guarantees a ballon d'or. Also his goals dried up in La Liga last season, in a league where Immobile and Higuain can hit 30 goals every year...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Barca and Spain are both far too slow and pedestrian. The modern game is about pace, energy and incisiveness (as well as quality obviously) and Mbappe is the prototype. Physicality also important due to all the set piece goals these days. Barca just had a great generation come through the youth...

    Cr150

    Higuain signing just made it easier for them to keep winning Serie A. They didn't need to spend 90 million to do that. Ronaldo can make the difference in CL which is what they want. Despite the stats though Ronaldo is hit and miss in CL. Other players have bailed Real out a lot there when...

    Cr150

    He's only going to go to Juve or PSG so he can win an easy title, score 40-50 goals a season in their leagues against awful opposition and hope they finally win a CL to add to his legend and win more Ballon D'ors. A league title is meaningless at Juventus when they've won the last 7 but then he...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    That Argentina side were never winning the World Cup. The fact Messi got them there single handed was enough. It would have affected legacy more had they not qualified and he still produced moments in the tournament. The Croatia game was a low but he turned it on against Nigeria and assisted...

    World Cup 2018

    If Croatia win it will go to Modric but a real long shot seeing as they've never reached a final. If Brazil win then Coutinho/Neymar have a slight chance but neither have done much for club (Coutinho was cup tied for CL and Neymar injured most of the year). If Coutinho had stayed at Liverpool...
