What a signing

20 years old and wins treble in his first season as starter

This is what a fighter is. Fearless kid, he can go a loong way

Absolute baller, he should have played more in the Euros 2024.

Martinez and CR7 is destroying this kid.
We will see how he and Vitinha against Germany next week. They are good but Qsg's style of play and their fullbacks make them better than they actually are.

This is the player people think Gavi is.
He is super aggressive, but also incredible on the ball and knows where to position himself.
That’s what makes him so good, you usually get a midfielder that excels at either or, he’s great at both. Feel like he could do Vitinha’s role if he was needed to.

Lucho loves gavi.

Would be interesting to see how he would do under him.

Again 433 Midfielder is what he was born to play

"Neves was too small and not athletic enough. Would struggle in the pl."


"We let PSG sign Neves and took Ugarte off their hands

We let PSG sign Mendes because we had Luke Shaw who was already a sick note

We needed a RB and we let PSG take Hakimi after a really good loan at Inter

We are about to let PSG take Mastantuono"


"I also was against going for him back then. Obviously a good player but I thought a bit too risky for us. And for now, I'd stick to it. I mean, no doubt, he looked really good for PSG, this season and in the final but he is part of a very well working machine. It is a bit like Barcelona who created a functional midfield with Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. If everything works well together and you have certain abilities (like aerial prowess) somewhere else in the team, you can get by. Take those team mates out and Neves might have looked like a fish out of the water for us. I agree with some notions, yes a player like him should be a starter in our team but I think somebody like Ugarte is needed as well. Maybe not as a starter, granted, but available. And I thought, a team like ours, we'd be in a more immediate need to add grit, steele and solidity to the team. Tricky to get the sequence right of course but I'd do it again (the price for Ugarte was hefty though, no question about it)."

Mastantuono in
Bruno out.

Smart business.

Neves is class, if you don't see that, you're an idiot.

Only midfielder you take over him right now is pedri, due to age.
