Vinícius Júnior

he is the reason madrid didn't win at camp nou and at home. don't say he is 18, he can't pass, can't shoot, he failed everything. he shouldn't be starting anymore. the only positive is that he has great talent and can become something.

Oh my. He gave Semedo such a hard time today and tore our right side apart single-handedly. If his finishing had been better we would probably have conceded like 3 goals in the first half alone. Very impressed.

Of course he is still raw, being only 18 and he can grow to be even better. Right now to me he is like a poor man's Hazard. His dribbling is very impressive, better than the likes of Douglas Costa already and is on par with Coman in my opinion but his potential is much higher than Coman's. I only hope his development will stall later so he does not turn into a big threat to us.

Does anyone still think the 40m that Madrid paid for him was too much? We seriously should take a page from Real Madrid's playbook and go after the next biggest attacking talent in Brazil in the next couple of years. Madrid likely hit a jackpot, we might too, you never know.

Some of you people. He's 18 ffs

Even Sterling couldn't finish when he was young. If you don't want to nurture young players go spend 100m plus on finished products and turn into a galactico club.

Vinicius and Reguilon bossed the game for 60 minutes. It's scary to see how easy they go past players and set up chances.

Sorry, we cant afford to wait for these youngsters eventually come good, its not that type of a club, certainly not while Barca simply cant stop winning everything ever.
So yes, we need to spend big on multiple 100 million players, 10 years of doing nothing domestically is already enough, we need results and we need them now.

Do you ever think long-term, Morten?

Having very good players who are young is always good.

I can only drool.

We have done nothing domestically for 10 years, and now we are supposed to give youngsters a chance? What is this, Arsenal from 2012? Because that sounds exactly like Arsenal, lets not aspire to become the next Arsenal.
