I just don’t see a need for it. They bought him for 20 to finally replace alves. I don’t see anyone who can at the moment. Making 20 mill isn’t going to save barca. Nor is it bringing haaland. Keep him he might finally answer our prayers. If he fails he can get someone to take a flyer on a marketable American player
Now I don't really know basketball because I dislike superteam leagues, but what I do know is that the Knicks would not be a top 6-7 team in the west.Knicks just finished top 4 in the east,
Well, there's only two clubs in for him at the moment though! Arsenal and Juve (who are poor), it's eerie similar to the Lacazette situation where all he had was Arsenal and Atletico. Then Atletico got transfer banned and the only place he could've gone was London. If Juventus is too poor for Locatelli, then the only logical choice for him is the properly mighty club. Now with that said, I highly doubt he'll stay long-term at our club, but I have no problem buying him, seeing what happens when we sack Arteta, and then sell him for double amount in the future. That's how KFC was able to build their CL winning squad entirely in the first place. Smart buys after Barca decided to go all "oil money" in after Coutinho. Side note, but it's nice to see them finally go broke lol.It has nothing to do with Arsenal's pull or lack thereof. If you don't want to leave Italy, do you care if it's Arsenal or Chelsea?
NBA itself is a horrible wonderkid league since it's all about superteams when you make it to free agency, they've had to have the most top 5 busts in comparison to any other major sports league worth mentioning in this sentence. They've also had an insane amount of top European busts too!The Knicks don't have those pieces for the future.
I heard that ter Stegen is another option that Barca could sell to balance the books. Not sure I would want that if I was a Barca fan.Getting rid of Dest would be really dumb
The Mendy one that plays for Real is probably the 2nd best LB in the world after LFC one. However, neither of them are at the stage that Marcelo was at the same age. Marcelo is one of the top 5 LB's of all-time easily.

Well Ferland would have been better than Lucas in 2018.
But Lucas had an adequate WC, so that's fine.
As of today, though DD should put an end to the 4 CBs experiment.
At RB, Dubois is MUCH better than Pavard offensively, and is just as fragile defensively.
Just based on the talk from my friends who know a lot more than I do. I wouldn't say I am clueless, but if you were to ask me who was the most underrated player on each club I would probably give you G-League names or something lol. My favourite player in the current NBA is Anthony Davis because he's this generation of Tim Duncan, who was my favourite player of all time.I admire the way you don't let a lack of knowledge on a given subject prevent you from pontificating about it at length
He couldn't start consistently over the ghost of Marcelo until this year. Ferland is an average player.Yes you clearly don't watch him.
Ferland is one of the best LBs in the game. He's solid defensively and has made some strides. He's excellent offensively and deadly in transition.
He's also versatile enough to play RB if needed.
He couldn't start consistently over the ghost of Marcelo until this year. Ferland is an average player.
He's above average and very solid but as I said nothing special offensively and not a very smart or technically gifted player in possession. He's elite at defending counter attacks, basically a left back version of Kyle Walker. I would take these guys over Mendy thoughHe couldn't start consistently over the ghost of Marcelo until this year. Ferland is an average player.
I've never watched him at Lyon, probably Evilo's great impression of him comes from there. But I've been watching him quite a lot these last couple of years at Real, and not even once I've found myself saying "what a great cross for Ferland (only 4 assists in 70+ matches at Real), what a great tackle and absolutely never what a great game". Lucas on the other hand is a beast defensively, and decent offensively. Only thing Ferland does better than Lucas is dribble.He's above average and very solid but as I said nothing special offensively and not a very smart or technically gifted player in possession.

Robertson
Tierney
Shaw
Theo Hernandez
Digne
Alba
Probably Lucas Hernandez, Gaya and Zinchenko too.
I often think he's good defensively and he makes some great tackles but I agree with most of what you are saying. I rarely think he does anything impressive with the ball, and he looks stiff and awkward in the final third. Not good technically. Mendy shouldn't make the France squad and as I implied I am not sure he is a top 10 LB. Don't understand the hype from Evilo.I've never watched him at Lyon, probably Evilo's great impression of him comes from there.
