Reminds me of Cristiano minus the heading. A goalscorer first and foremost. If Real build a team behind him that can do the dirty work and a forward who has no issue sacrificing his own game total help him, no reason why he can't match...
Well, when Messi arrived on the scene I tend to remember a certain united flop called Diego Forlan shining within this La Liga you speak of....
The thing with Forlan was that he never got a run of games at United to allow him to gain...
Generally, no player is ready physically at 15, 16, 17 and Barcelona did not need to bring him in on board so early because they already had a successful team built around Ronaldinho and Etoo. They very gradually eased him in which was the...
Your bias is obvious. You don't have a balanced view. Truth is that this debate shouldn't be right now, it is not like for like circumstantially. In a few years time, it will be a sensible one
The problem is when age gets thrown into it. Than...
1. No way would he be introduced into the first team at 15 if Barcelona had not badly mismanaged their finances. And therefore he would not have been allowed to show what he is capable of. This was the case with Messi.
2. People are also...
I find the comparisons with Messi tedious. Messi barely played at 17; 9 matches, all cameos. And not because he wasn't good enough (the hype around his ability was unreal at lamasia; the likes of Ronaldinho used to go watch him play) but because...
Tbf the shots were all too close to the keeper.
The early start is the thing that’s gets people excited "17 year old!" "Just 17!" " Can't believe he is just 17!" which is to be expected but it can easily be at the expense of Yamal's future. But...
His final pass was off yesterday. Some of his decisions weren't great either. But the raw talent is obvious.
Nop. He reminds me much more of Neymar (minus the tendency to humiliate) than anyone else. His dribbling is more likely Neymar than...
Chronologically the most talented footballers post WW2:
Pele
Maradona
R9
Messi
Yamal (looks obvious)
Pele had Eusebio, Maradona had Platini,
R9 had his injury, Messi had Cristiano. Who does Yamal have?
1. Our forwards are shit. Getting a top class CF should be a priority.
2. We need a proper player in the Keano position.
3. A good goalkeeper.
As for the manager, obviously 1 season with their above than we judge him.
1. Suarez: complete striker
2. Lewandowski
3. Benzema: had Cristiano left earlier or had he played with less selfish forwards, could have been no 1.
4 to 10: Zlatan, Aguero, etc.
