Hate when people say Adama only has pace when he's clearly gifted in the close control department.

Yeah he seems very Alaba-like in that he plays LB but seems more like a CM in quality.

Mistakes are bound to happen with an 18 year old playing at the highest level, specially one who isnt playing for a first team regularly right now, he's not messi so I dont expect him to play like a complete player at his age already, all i'm saying is he shows promise. For alot of young players...

Not hard to believe, he routinely played well for spain in the last couple seasons even when playing like shit for us.

We obviously bought the right Uruguayan :lol:

Not so true, remember last year 2-1 classico with messi on the wing? Messi effectievly nullified Marcelo with his presence and Alves did less of his chicken head crosses. Messi's presence commands a respect that can balance out the RW if you ask me.

He won't be, I mean he ends up on the wing half the time anyway, this just brings out Suarez's full potential. And knowing messi he'll be in the middle for the most part anyway.

He's really good, and its against a strong argentina side too. The only thing that i can see needing work is his decision making in the final 3rd doesnt look for the through ball fast enough.

Its the respect he gets as the best, its way easier for one player to take down the players you mentioned but with messi double teaming him is a necessity or fouling him before he can start running. But the lack of movement by anyone not named Iniesta or Xavi doesnt help him at all, if our...

Yeah that could happen, but both have already shown great things at the senior level, samper even more so since he's played great with us as opposed to another club.

Its been like that for years now, it comes with the territory of being one of the greatest players of all time if not the greatest. The fact that he still performs better than everyone else only compounds his greatness.

This. I remember when modric was called a flop because he was constantly played out of position and in a system that didnt suit him. Let rakitic do his thing and spray long balls/ charge forward from deep and he'll be great.

Samper? Denis Suarez? two of the best midfield prospects we've had in a long time, the best since Thiago probably.

Isnt this from this season? Incredible though.

Theres also Grimaldo Adama and Samper who have all played well in their cameos with the first team.

Does anyone have the position data of Neymar or the more recent games of the season as opposed to the beginning? He seems to be on the wing more to me, and I think that may account for why Xavi has been more central recently. I only bring this up to see if the no winger thing is really the...

That interceptions stat is pretty good though.

We can only speak for ourselves at the end of the day, so neither of us can speak for all peoples of a specific group. From my pov if someone threw friend chicken at me/another black person I wouldn't see a difference but its my opinion alone. And I wasn't calling anyone racist btw if anyone...

Theres a phenomena in America where blacks say loads of things amongst themselves but when said by others they see it as Racist, but im not an expert and I dont want to go off topic talking about racism in a Messi thread without any relation to Messi in said racism.

Ay but as the son of a black american (I'm not american) I see no difference between the two, My father doesnt see a distinction, nor does any black american I've ever come into contact with, the fried chicken is racist.
