Leao is never coming to Barca lol. Right now we cannot even sign Daniel James.

If you sell Frenkie and Raphinha, you can get a DM and Diaz for LW.
Diaz is a dribbler and speaks the language. Probably admires Barca/Real. Honestly you lot should buy him or Gakpo(LW). We'll probably sell one of the two if we get a nice offer.

Grealish unhappy at City. Would you?

I would buy him a one-way ticket to Ibiza. That's all I can do.

Well, you're a lovely man.
Don't get it. You lot need a proper LW. You have to be pragmatic and realistic about it. Is it simply Leao or bust for you?

I wouldn't mind other options, but here's what I would look for:
- Someone explosive
- Someone very good 1v1
- Someone that isn't close to 30
- Someone with a very high ceiling
That rules out quite a few players. The market for LWs isn't good, and even if we find a gold mine or something I wouldn't spend a tonne of money on someone that doesn't qualify based on what I personally would look for. 4/4 would be the dream, but I would take 3/4 there if it makes sense.
Knowing Barca though they'll sign someone completely opposite of the traits I would look for, and that's assuming we can even spend a lot of money on a LW which we probably cannot for god knows how long unless the club is sold or something.

ADL is Levy.
Spurs is more Roma than Napoli though. Both located in the capital cities.
He's exactly the worng profile. Fuck that, even on a reasonable fee

He's average at best. And he's 25 so not even that young that you think he can iron out his rawness.
Utterly hopeless if he doesn't have acres of space to run into. I have seen him score a few nice goals for Milan, but they all had one thing in common - he was able to run through the pitch and outpace others. Zero IQ, not great on the ball, poor decision-making, can't cross etc.
Once his speed goes he will be lucky to get a game in serie B. Neto should be starting.
Leao and Felix are examples of players rated by hype rather than substance. For some fans someone running fast and attacking a full-back is enough to rate them as a superstar.
