BBZ: I agree with you post above and I add: it's also a matter of cycles: a cycle of a winning team lasts 4-5 years, then is over.
Not only because the players have won everything, but also because the opponents have decoded the game/tactics and found solutions, the cycle ends.
the situation is worse than this.
Samedo is not barca material, Roberto is not a RB (btw since years we have a RB Problem, never solved, our first solution has been Douglas !!)
Junior Firpo is not barca material and Alba is getting old
Griezmann (120Mio) is not a winger and not a CF. I do not...
ok for that price, no problem
total failure Dembele and Couthino for 300mio, that's the problem.
Worse than that, it's hard
And the presentation of Dembele...
Yes, I think the same. We can discuss maybe which player to keep or not, but the end is the same: a total change, reset errors and restart.
A shame, with all that money wasted on absurd purchases we would have already solved many problems.
And I feel sorry for Messi, he deserved so much better
So it is, whether you like or not. But most people it s just a matter of having a competent coach.
Tre sad truth is that we need a competent board (=having the right coach).
The current situation is the result of years and years of poor management, horrible transfer market without any logic and...
He's not a real CF and he's a leightweight, too small stature and too light.
We need a tower as CF, with power, who can win duels physically, very good header, someone in front who can catch long balls,
in the penalty area a target for crosses.
Hazard has to prove absolutely nothing, he's a strong player since years.
Dembele was and is nobody, he did not prove absolutely nothing, a pretty good season at Dortmund means nothing.
We spent 105mio (+add-ons 40Mio) for him.
