The amount of distance covered is generally a very crude indicator. Context is important, yes. For example, Vinni has a higher mileage in the Champions League than Raphinha, but no one in their right mind would say that he defends better than Raphinha. But 7 km is a very low indicator.

I agree 7 is low, but I think for a coach that emphasize pressing more,he'll add minimum another .7km

For those worrying about his commitment to the team, remember this guy is Basque
If he sticks here for some time he will die for the shirt and be as loyal as homegrown players and maybe more than some
You can see it already with the example from Athletic. He could have left a long time ago if he wanted
Ignore the stats, we all know they are misleading. If you look at the person, if you look at Nico, you see a man who is going to work hard and press for the team if that's what manager demands

None of the links about Europa works, can you share screen shot, especially if it shows total distance
In the Euro he ran 54.53KM in 494 minutes
That is 9.93 km per 90 minutes, not 7km
It is actually more than solid number for an attackers (midfielders are the ones that break 10km)

Why is him being friends with Lamine an upside?

He's not friends just with Lamine but a great deal of our new generation
And it is a huge upside. Amigos as parasitic as they were at the end have achieved a lot together and their friendship was a huge part of it.

BBC at real Madrid achieved a lot too and they weren't that friendly.
I don't want to hate on him, but honestly I don't see what makes him so special. People want him because he's friends with yamal and his performance for Spain, rather than how good he is at club level. All he provides is a pair of fresh legs, nothing else. He isn't an upgrade on raphinha or yamal. I'm not even sure if he can play on the right wing in case yamal is unfit. Deco needs to be looking at other options rather than having tunnel vision for this guy

Cole and Sheringham hated each other at Man United too, yet co-existed and won the treble (admittedly the latter was more of a sub).
There's plenty examples of team mates not getting on but playing well together on the park.
I haven't made my mind up on Williams. Not convinced, but his supporters in here make some good points sometimes.

Well Rapha could be the RW in case Lamine needs rest.

Arsenal, Barca, Bayern. He's been talking to more people than James McAvoy in Split.
