22 - Marc Bernal

[Andresito]

Good to see people in here highlighting his flaws despite his two goals. His goals are nice to have but he will need a solid base of skills as a midfielder first and foremost.

Still clearly in development and for this season I'm just content with him regaining his fitness and keep adapting to senior football. Next season he will have to find his role in midfield and keep growing into that. For one he could use his big body more efficiently both in possession and in defence.

His passing is certainly not at the required level yet.. he has everything else .. at his age baskets was a master at passing already but maybe he was an anomaly too. Like I said.. with bernal its time to sell gavi and cassado to benifit financially and bet on new upcoming talents . I have seen enough of gavi and cassado.

Busi made his debut at 20 which is 1.5 year older than current Bernal. And tbf even Busquets was sloppy, giving the ball away a lot in the first months or so.

Let's hope his ceiling is high and he continues to improve. I like his instincts for goals but his passing and decision making still need alot of work.
He's clearly a Flick favourite so Gavi and Cassado really need to think about their futures here.

Busi made his debut at 23 which is 4 years older than current Bernal. And tbf even Busquets was sloppy, giving the ball away a lot in the first months or so.

I guess it's a typo but Busi debuted at 20, he played in the WC-2010 final at 21 (and 11 months).
