Basta yaaaaaaa, Cabron ! y Bona nit 🥂
There has been a huge decline in natural God given talent. The stuff that you can't teach. The stuff that can't be taught no matter if you train 15 hours a day. The players that put you at the edge of your seat. All other generations had numerous of them.
The fact that a 17 year old with huge natural talent immediately shot up to be the best player in the world should tell you all you need to know about the dearth of natural talent in today's game.

This is the harsh truth. But it is just simpler for fans to say "there is no talents" instead of analyzing it.
I don't blame them though, it is an entertaining industry and you don't need deep understanding for it, "you don't see players who are entertaining anymore = talents have declined" is simple enough for fans to not bother.
In a way, it isn't wrong either, because again, while the level undeniably increased, the question about entertainment remains
Insert "Are you not entertained" meme here

Rather he joins Liverpool than Madrid next summer when they punt Vini.
Wirtz, Ekitike, Kerkez, Frimpong AND Isak in 1 window has to be the greatest transfer window of all time on paper right?

That depends what they will achive on the pitch but on the paper it looks strong. The Madrid transfer window in 2009 looked much better on paper anyway.
Will this be the biggest spending spree by a non oil club ever if they really buy Isak? I don't think even us or Madrid ever spent 400+ mil in one window.

AND Guehi, which they will also buy
AND Diaz replacement, if he goes to Bayern
I wonder when Barca is going to have one such window

There is no such thing as natural God-given talent.
It all happens in early early age.
Messi was kicking a tennis ball against 4 walls when he was at his grandmother's place and he was 3 or 4 yrs old
Every talented player you will also find similar stories if you dig
At the same time, it's true that certain things like technique and sense/touch of the ball can't be taught.
But the reason is not that God gave them.
it is that these skills were developed before 10 yrs old or earlier

Of course there is such a thing as god given talent for lack of a better word.
No matter how 10000 kids kick a ball against a wall before 3, they will never be as good as Messi.
He is just naturally more talent.
Like Albert is naturally smart
Then you develop on this God given gifts.

Interesting data analysis on which clubs Isaak will fit the best from @TheSecretScout on twitter
Liverpool are top right corner, as expected (their data analysts know what they are buying).
Barcelona is high, but interestingly he fits better Madrid and City
Surprising that he does not fit Arsenal so much, out of the top teams

It's a good transfer window no doubt, but I think they overpaid for them. Quite a lot too.

Yea okay, Messi trained harder and better than everyone else that's why he's the goat lol.
Albert studied more.

Barcelona don’t need such a window because we already have the best academy in the world and it saved our club numerous times and this helped prevent us from spending exorbitant amounts of money regularly. Bartomeu the Retard went against this and nearly destroyed the club so this proves that we don’t need such a summer.
