UNCL3:
Puig didn't make the Olympic squad because he has not been given as many chances to prove himself as others have been given.

Let me ask you this question, Is Pedri Better than Puig?

Puig must stay and establish himself in Barca, whether you lots like it or not.

is the bolded same thing from what I'm saying?

Puig staying and establishing himself all depends on Koeman. I'm not even saying you guys should sell him sef, but loan at least. Not only will he get game time, but he'll also gain matchday experiences. That might even give Koeman rethink and to force him into his plans coming into the following season

Nothing will ever make Cowman change his mind on Puig.

I support a loan tho, but for him to leave totally is a no for me.
Puig is one of the big future I see in Barca.

Lol... I think the bolded was our differences. You think I want an outright puig sale . No wonder you're saying you and your lots


Anyways at least we've got an understanding.

Comfort zone in the sense it applied to Puig cannot be viewed same way as it is for Messi. Ruiq Puig needs to leave Barcelona to save his career. Messi clearly did not need such. Messi already have the career anyone in the world football can only dream of. So it is 100% wrong to ever allude that Barcelona was Messi's comfort zone.

For avoidance of doubt, this is the dictionary definition of comfort zone as I inferred it to with regards to Puig' situation.

I dont see how this definition can be used in the same sentence as Messi's 20years meritorious career at Barca.

Comfort zone means a place where you feel safe in, where you feel relaxed and at ease in, where everything seems to work out well for you(my opinion sha)........and I get what you mean by saying Puig needs to go where he's more likely to get better playing time to improve himself more. My only issue is that it felt like you were mocking him that he's scared to leave barca because he just might not cut it elsewhere.

Jodera:
Messi and Puig is entirely different. Puig needs to save his career, even if it's loan. In as much he loves barca, but he needs to know that his career comes first before barca. You can imagine even young Puig( at 22 yrs) couldn't make the cut for the Olympic squad. Even people inferior than him made the squad but he couldn't. If he continues like this and Koeman still deny him minutes, he'll las las be forced to be sold away from barca which is what he is avoiding.

You can't compare that to messi who is/was a keyman, best player and influential to barca team and can decide if he wants to go or stay.

So they're two different contrasting context!

I get you man.....I just used that Messi comparison because of the "comfort zone" thingy he used. That's the same thing outsiders used as a point to criticize Messi cos they felt he couldn't cut it else where if he left the psychological and physical support he had at barca. We all good now tho.

This definition is a different context. This was not the one I intended. Because currently Puig does not feel safe at Barca. His career is about to derail if he doesnt do anything and fast too. No matter how promising a player is, he has to play to show it let alone a young man like him. Sticking at Barca is not a good decision at this time. He has to leave to play. This is a no brainer

Jodera:
If he'd seen enough minutes (not saying he would have been a starter last season oo), there's big tendency that Spain wouldn't have taken Carlos Soler. Spain hardly carries overage players to competition historically.

Also, there's also tendency of taking the spot of Bryan Gil, who I know is a winger, but Spain favors having more midfielders to winger.

But the biggest hit will be Carlos Soler due to his overage status


There's no way that Puig will see reasonable minutes last season and wont get into that Olympic squad.

Soler wasn't even a starter, the starters were Merino, Pedri and Zubimendi of Sociedad. I don't think Puig would have benched any of them sha. He would have been with the team but benching these 3, nope.
Actually, Spain since Del Bosque still relied in their wingers but those of kind wingers were magnificent with the ball but some were pacey enough to trouble defenses. Like Pedri.
But I don't think Puig would have benched Pedri or Merino or Zubimendi.

I know Soler or Gil aren't starters, reason why I said he(Puig) will at least see Olympic squad. Most of the players who started are pure starters in their respective clubs from oyazarbal, to Pedri to Zubimendi to Olmo and so on. But if Puig had seen reasonable minutes last season, at least he'd have been a good option coming off from the bench in that Olympic squad. For him not to be looked at all, esp in his own age grade competition speaks a lot

devvy44:
Messi was paid more than 100m, yet he couldn’t even deliver a Ucl even after promising to do so. Now he has gone to hide hid under Mbappe’s shadow, a player that destroyed both at club and country level

Keep bringing up fake screenshot, na barka fans way

Like say you no search the real thing

Oldboss:

That's what I think too, As much as I want Puig's talents to be at the fore of the world like pedri and Fati, I have a feeling he'll be sold when he goes out on loan, See Alena and pjanic who were not in koeman's plans, And worse off now coutinho is staying cause he couldn't be moved, nico Gonzalez, demir and even Gavi that is 17 are ahead of him in koeman's thoughts, On this I have to stubbornly agree with jay pee and jodera, instead of letting his talents to be wasted by one who would hardly play him, he has to save on loan to save his career and come back afterall koeman won't be here forever

Same lineup as last week, Thought pique was injured

Koeman with masterclass finally run am aground.

Difficult match so far!

Koeman that does not have sense. If he likes, let him kill pedri too. Its not as if we're lacking players. Dem plenty full ground. But koeman is stubborn and rigid in everything.

I don't even see us winning tonight. Bilbao have been the side.

This game ehnnn

We need to find an X factor for that midfield and attack. Someone who can make things happen. Nothing seems to be working.

It's like the opposite of the last game. It's just like it wasn't the same team that played last week.

BTW, that araujo goal should have stood.

Somebody should help me explain why the fvck Araujo's goal was cancelled.

The ref is a fool for calling that a foul. Why didn't they check VAR sef?

I swear. Koeman wey na God go punish am. Players Brekete but mofo can't see past his a$s. Pedri na next. Same as Busi.
This match is where we need fast and intelligent players like Demir and Puig to break Bilbao's lines. They aren't even defensive at all today.

The most annoying part is Koeman using 4 players out of position. Griezmann, Braithwaite, Depay.

Complain, complain, complain
Match never finish. Calm down!

Is like you dont know that Sam Mames is one of the most difficult ground in Laliga. No set of player you will deploy there that will not suffer. Only time we won in this place in recent times was last year. ATH will put you under pressure for most part of the match.

Be like them use that match use tell Messi ByeBye... Now reality has set in.

But honestly, Koeman would be so dull not to recognise that the three strikers upfront are just too disorganized. Not to talk about not having a midfielder that can either use through balls and pace or dribbles to break through this ATH. Na like this we go day day??

OGBENI forget all this mental gymnastics. Koeman and his tactics have been premium shít. Na today I know San Mames.

Omo

Thank God for Araujo.
