He is actually better than Bastoni. The problem is that is Spurs are not relegated, he won't come cheap for any team that wants to sign him.

AirBere:
Getting a red card doesn't stop a defender from being elite. Sergio Ramos is one of the most sent off players of all time yet he's elite. Pepe too. Van Der Ven is better than Scloterbeck and your 3 at the back Batsoni.

I forgot to add a stupid red card that's why my post looked confusing. The red he collected was a misjudgement considering the predicament they are in rn. I doubt we will be able to outbid other clubs that want him even if they beat the drop. I also don't agree he's better than bastoni. He only has more pace imo

AirBere:
He's better than Ferran and I don't think it's that close. If you doubt, conduct an online or offline poll and ask people who's better between the two lol. Ferran keh 🤣 🤣 🤣


It's not close at all. If Ferran is linked with Chelsea, some fans fit stop to dey go stadium. If Igor is linked, there'll be no issues. Ferran is so mid that Oyazabal another mid striker starts ahead of him for the national team. Don't be surprised to see Madrid's Gonzalo Garcia ahead of him too.

You are confusing ferran being average to mean thiago will be a success here cause you see he has more attributes and goals in the EPL. The culers on NL are already against him coming here so what do you think would happen when our fanbase all over the world hear that? We don't play hoof ball, mostly counter attacks and end to end games most of the time. He won't fit our style and is better off in a side that suits his strengths maybe Ligue 1 or serie A

jpmoriarti:
The guy just loves to undervalue our players. Ferran Torres will bench every single player he has on the attack. I was watching how Alejandro Garnacho was tripping over himself to make a simple pass.

Yes Ferran is out of form, having scored only 3 goals in the last 12 games that's why haters are coming for him like he's some flop noone wants but I will take only Cole Palmer or maybe Jaoa Pedro ahead of him if I were to choose anyone from this Chelsea.

Bro I be one of ferran fan here and I am calling him trash and wanting him sold because of Barca standards ,e get some strikers wey no better pass am ,take it or leave it

As for Chelsea dem Dey hardly get good strikers ,na why dem see drogba as their legend

My point is very clear chief.

Igor Thiago is better than Ferran Nkiru Torres. whether he'll fit Barca isn't the point of contention. I mean who Sabi play ball pass. Brazilian flair Igor lol

Torres is too mid abeg 😴

andrewbaba44:
Why not tell us ferran has more goals for national team than oyazarbal despite debuting 2020 while oyazarbal 2016 😂😂😂

Secondly you parade delap at Chelsea and fans never stop to Dey come stadium

Giroud has more goals than Henry for France but them no be mate for football.

Ferran has more goals but he's a bench player for Spain while Oyazabal is the starting striker. Oyazabal is as mid as Torres, slightly better but he starts. That should tell you the state of Ferran Ngozi Torres.

On Delap, when he joined, we thought we found a top English prospect so fans had no issues with him. Right now he's pipe sha but will still command a bigger transfer than Ferran right now.

Keep Igor Thiago and keep Ferran, conduct an online poll on Reddit, twitter etc and see who fans will choose to start for Barca right now lol

I swear Chelsea fans will riot if Ferran is even linked walahi. Can't dribble, no genuine pace, weak in the air, weak on the ground, can't duel, link up play zero. Only off the ball movement that results in a weak shot or missed chance. Ferran keh 🤣

At this point I think we have to trust Araujo and gradually reinstate him back to the squad, I mean starting eleven.

With Balde and kounde out all through this month..

I am wondering what our backline would be.

In the game against newscastle on Tuesday next week, we must avoid unnecessary yellows.

And we must play that match like we did against Atletico Madrid few days back.

UCL is more important to me than laliga, if we get knocked out, I would stop watching football but i see us in the final.

So you’d swap vdv for cubarsi ?

I thought the discussion was initially about Igor doing better in Barça since ferran is not better than him? If it isn't then I don't think I will tell you ferran is better even though he fits our style more

Oyarzabal isn't average. He isn't even a natural striker

I ain’t no barca fan but vdv he’s just too all over the place. Only good attribute is his pace which his gets outpace most of the time

Position awareness is terrible jumps into reckless tackles

Omo he’s just a faster araujo

I've been consistent from day 1. I'm saying Igor better pass pass Ngozi Ferran. Whether he'll do better at Barca is another debate but I feel he'll do better. That's another discussion though.

Say ball, Igor better pass Ferran abeg lol 😂

You're right about his pace and lack of positional awareness that's very common with fast center backs. They always believe they can use pace to cover for everything. It's what killed/killing Araujo. but I'll like to see him(VDV) in a top club like Arsenal, Bayern, Chelsea, Barca, Liverpool, United, Madrid etc. Spuds no be club!

I agree with both of you. Van de ven tends to believe in his recovery pace instead of anticipation. The same stuff that has gotten araujo into trouble here. Reports are also saying we're looking at their crazy prospect vuskovic (depending on if spurs beat the drop) and ndicka which we had the chance to sign when he was free but didn't as is typical of this club. I think vdv will remain in the EPL no matter what happens with spurs

We might even be linked to bastoni and upamecano tomorrow just to sign senesi on a free in the end. We know how it's done

You're right. He's so EPL coded. I can see him at Liverpool if Spurs go down!

I don’t think Bernardo Silva joining us on free transfer is bad at all.

He’s confirmed to be leaving Manchester City at the end of the season.

A good market opportunity and he can add leadership to our side. A very technical attacking midfielder who can still offer 2 to 3 years at the top

The level of intensity Barca showed Vs Tico was too much. I think players will be too tired to turn up today. I have a feeling Barca will drop points today.

Your team is currently being held by a 3rd division team and taking you to extra time while you're here obsessing over Barcelona.

For your information, Athletic Bilbao also played in the midweek

Pedri, Raphinha and Fermin all starts from the bench against Atletic Bilbao.

Ferran torres is Barca’s Achilles heel🤦‍♂️

No ooo. He's better than Igor Thiago.

Ferran is extremely mid!!!

This Gerard Martin half hearted defending 😬😬

Always very shaky

Good decision from Flick. Pedri and Raphinha are the most important players in the team and should be rested ahead of UCL.

Olmo should have left that freekick for Rashford to take.

Bilbao should have received a red card for an earlier offence.

Sancet na wah oo. Put ball for net you dey pass am give J Garcia

Barça wasted their energy on a fucking Copa match

Beautiful pass from Pedri. Great finish from Lamine. We missed that kind of pass in the first half. Olmo tried but Bernal and Casado just weren't up to par.

Ferran left the pitch in the 62nd minutes. Barca scored in minutes 67. Some people don't understand that mid players can affect your game play. Those who have played December league or any competition will understand a thing or two about having mid players as teammates. They drain energy!!!

I felt for the Bilbao LB Adama who had a good battle with lamine when he slipped as the latter was about to shoot at goal. Lamine now has 14 laliga goals this season at just age 18. I hope he becomes better with goals as he gets older and gains more experience

Pedri is special, very special...

That Adama guy has been marking Yamal closely but for the goal, Yamal sat him down...
