Pep turning John Stones into Javier Mascherano sure has been something to watch. Although I think it was also Pep who turned Mascherano into one of the best centerbacks in the world

He was probably not good enough to be a Barcelona player, but he is a Barcelona player because it's all they could afford (for £50m). That being said, he was pretty good in the Premier League so I don't know why he couldn't be again.

blue footed boobie posted:It’s been kind of in the back of my mind that the current crop of players in their prime late 20’s- early 30’s haven’t really produced as many top, top players as other generations*, so I wonder if we’ll see other top clubs invest in youth. You're kinda right, I took a look at the Argentina and France squads from the Final, small sample size, etc but for Argentina the real players of note in that age range are Leandro Paredes, Lautaro Martinez, Paulo Dybala(lol), and Emi Martinez. For France it's Raphael Varane, Antoine Griezmann, and Adrien Rabiot(lol).

Cpt. Mahatma Gandhi posted:I get what you're saying. I think part of that is because of how utterly dominant Messi and Ronaldo were. Neymar is probably one of the best players of that late-20s, early-30s demo that you mentioned, but even so, his entire career has been played in the shadows of those other two. Barca has the "next Messi" come through their academy every year, bummer that they've all turned into the next Bojan Krkic. Shrapnig fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Jun 14, 2023 |

vyelkin posted:The thing I've seen about Mason Mount in online football nerd analysis is that basically he's somebody who does everything pretty well, works hard, and is good at following managers' instructions, so he's not likely to win a game on his own but he'll make the players around him better and help the manager get their tactics working by doing what he's told, which is why every manager loves him and wants him on their team.

vyelkin posted:The fact that the Saudis have even more money than that guy doesn't mean they won't come to the same conclusion when signing 38-year-old Ballon d'Or winners on nine-figure contracts doesn't make the Saudi Pro League more popular than the Premier League overnight. I haven't even seen a Saudi League highlight outside of things posted here to lol at Ronald. I don't think the world sees this as anything more than idle curiosity and oogling the money being bandied about. In five years we'll be probably be going "whatever happened to Ruben Neves" much like we have every once in a while with Oscar.
