Chief, my point is very clear nah. Nobody is saying you should replace Lewy with Igor.

I was saying that most EPL strikers are better than Ferran. In fact I doubled up by saying that all 20 EPL teams have a better striker than Ferran then Andrew or you mentioned Igor Thiago. Ferran won't bench Muriqi or Budimir as starting striker for Mallorca or Osasuna respectively.

I'm saying and I quote. Igor Thiago is a better striker/player than Ferran. Watching both, I don't think it's close sef. Ferran is a mid player.

Chief I thought we've already been over this na. I never said ferran is a better striker than Igor Thiago. I'm also tired of him. I just talked of him not fitting into our team

AirBere:
Na highlights I dey use follow the guy but he moves like Varane. Very strong and mobile for his size. The only game I watched was the game Vs Bayern and the boy dominated all aerial and ground duels and even scored sef. He's also first choice penalty taker and scored again today.

Meanwhile, Why will Barca sign him though? He's 19, Curbasi is 18. Nah kids Una wants use defend? I think Barca should go for a more experienced player.

Also, if he doesn't stay at Tottenham, he'll cost too much. I see him joining Liverpool or Bayern.

I was deceived by him outpacing kane and covering Gnabry well. He's not fast at all having watched another game. He's as slow as Curbasi or even slower. Could be another snail.

I think the plan is to get senesi from Bournemouth on a free and sign him if Tottenham get relegated cause I doubt he'll be in our price range plus Tottenham's reluctance to let him go when he has not even played an official game for them, we can't afford bastoni and schlotterbeck looks Madrid bound

They were mocking yamal for years and will still do in the future so we don't need their sympathy

Chief Parades was a bench player in the world cup. From match day 2 till final, Enzo started and won the world cup as a DM. He was the single pivot and played the full 120mins. Something DeeJung can only dream.

And he proceeded to get some of the worst ratings in a world cup final. Nearly lost the world cup for Lionel Messi 😬😬 Never again 😑

Senesi will be good. EPL tested player with great passing. Coming on a free will be good for Barca too. Yeah Vuskovic will be Hella expensive even if Spurs relegate.

AirBere:
I watch both leagues too. A game between Man United and Newcastle will have both Barnes and Elanga flying on both wings. A game between Barca and Getafe or Osasuna will have at least 8 players behind the ball. There's no way a player of Rashord's ability will do well against such set up.

See how Getafe frustrated Vini in their last home game and Vini is a beast dribbler. Vinnie will be even more dangerous and will score more goals if he joins a PL side.

Check out Isak's goal return in Laliga and compare it to his PL returns. PL players want to play on the front foot. Laliga teams just wanna frustrate. It what makes the league boring.

That you are comparing Getafe to Newcastle to drive home your point tells me that you're not being sincere. Newcastle is best compared to Bilbao. Now, did you watch Man City vs Forest?

Vini is not a good dribbler, he has pace and some trickery and that's it. And if you want to have a go about goal return of specific players to judge a league then I must say you should do a little research.

They're players who struggle in one league and do well in another, it has little to do with the quality of the league especially when you're talking about the top leagues. Sometimes, it could be that the quality of teammates is better or the setup of the team is best suited for the players. Other times, it could be that the player is more settled in the city and has the trust of the coach.

The title is for Otamendi who gave away a needless pk.

Meanwhile, Don't focus on his right hand. Observe the left hand

I watch a lot of both leagues. For me, there's less time for players to stop and think in the EPL compared to La Liga. I don't have that players have much more space in the EPL but then, it's fine if you say so.

The EPL is like the super league that's why our haters (mostly Chelsea fans) are still hoping Newcastle knock us out despite their injuries and poor form. There might be less space truly but lamine was marked well last night. That's why rashford is also criticized cause of tight marking. Lamine didn't really have a great game asides the golazo. It's just that if you are a crazily talented player it will still be shown at some point

I don't really think senesi will be able to lead our backline to be tough like other big teams. He's also slow and shaky aerially Probably for rotational purposes

You’re just being insincere and disingenuous.

So, with France slicing through Argentina midfield and numerous creating one vs one opportunities with the goalkeeper including the last opportunity missed by Randl Kolo Muani, it was the failure of Otamendi but if it were Barcelona, you'd immediately blame it on Frenkie de Jong.

You know what you're doing but I can see through your hoax.

No I'm not trying to be mischievous and I wasn't doing a direct comparison. Okay let's use Westham with Summerville and Bowen on both wings to drive home the point. Rashford Will have more joy playing Westham than Getafe.

I think Vini is a good dribbler.

Rashford has since lost his confidence. There are countless times in a game when Rashford is 1 vs 1 vs a RB but he doesn't even try to go past his marker and when he tries, in most cases he fails.

Watching Barcelona, Rashford frustrates me.

France had zero chance and Argentina with Enzo Chukwu controlled the game so well that it was looking like the most one sided world cup in football history until Otamendi gave away a needless penalty in the 80th minute.

Muani's chance was more of a clearance by Konate than landed in front of the gk. Blame CBs for that kind of chance not DM.

Baba you sure say you watch 22 WC final?

You were being mischievous when you know Getafe does not have the qualities to go toe to toe with Real Madrid or Barcelona. Newcastle has the resources and they're a UCL playing team. So you can't compare both of them.

We saw this same Rashford in the EPL in the last 2 seasons. That says it all...Rashford has since given up, it has nothing to do with the quality of the league. Put Rashford in the German Bundesliga and he will still struggle. He will score and assist but watching him, you'll be frustrated for the most part.

Mischievous to gain what online lol. I don't operate like that. Nothing to gain bruv.
I was just looking for Laliga teams to compare. Only Barca, Madrid and Real Betis play open game in Laliga. In the EPL, I can only think of Burnley.

Based on the rating you yourself shared here, Enzo Fernandez scored a meagre 5.9 in the world cup final and Argentina conceded 3 goals and nearly conceded a last minute winner when Muani broke through.

If it were Frenkie de Jong, you won't stop talking how bad he is. Of course, Chelsea knows this and will never allow him to play there because they have lots of natural options.

But Barcelona does not have these options. So we resort to FdJ. I'm sure he's not enjoying playing in this position for Barcelona but he has to.

There's a reason Barcelona are bickering over signing him on a permanent deal...I agree that he is a squad option when the starters are tired or injured but as a starter, Rashford is not good enough...

You gain twisting facts to suit your narrative that Laliga is poo while EPL, where they only practice long throws and dead balls, is heavenly 🙄

I'm too old to be using stats from football ratings sites to judge defensive/central midfielders. Even attackers I still prefer eye test that's why I'll never rate Rashford, Ferran no matter their numbers. I watch the games and say it as it is. No sugar coating, no time.

Show me where I used ratings to judge Dejong or any defensive midfielder. Even when he scores a higher rating, there's always too much fault and flaws in his defensive duties.

Enzo won the world cup as the starting DM and played the full 120mins in the final.

Then explain this to us

Andrew, JP, Kilishi come and see your striker.

Imagine failing the eye test and failing here(ratings) too lol.

You have to be extremely below average for Madrid fans to troll you on their sub.

Ferran cannot start for Newcastle as a striker.

Lots of big reveals from Xavi on his time as coach at Barcelona. I don't know how these would affect Laporta as Presidental candidate.

No doubt he's got alot of explaining to do especially with the Messi saga and how the best ever player in the history of the game left the club almost ignominiously.

I know Laporta is a politician but I want to hear how's going to get himself out of this one.

Xavi don nuke Laporta presidential campaign.

Why is the asterisk? Is Gavi fit or not?

He’s traveling without medical clearance. He’ll travel with them but I doubt he’ll play.

Okay. Thank you for the clarification.

Xavi should hide his head in shame.
Man got us competing for Europa League, even for Europa League, shitty Manure & Frankfurt overpowered him.
