Seen that we maybe interested in this guy and I have read that one of our targets is a young midfielder.
Thoughts?

Sounds like a Game Of Thrones assassin. Sign him upSeen that we maybe interested in this guy and I have read that one of our targets is a young midfielder.

I've watched him a bit. Koeman has a real thing for him, but mostly Barca fans are nonplussed as to why he gets so many minutes at the expense of Puig, who is usually very impressive with what little minutes he does get, whereas, Ilaix is physical but nothing special with the ball.He would be a good second choice to Camavinga. The barca fans on Reddit are saying they think he might be more interested in money than football which is rich coming from them but that’s the word. He’s still only 18

I can totally see why Koeman rates him. Midfielders that can combine technique with physicality are rare. I can see him becoming a class player and I really doubt if Puig is going to be starter at a top club in the future.I've watched him a bit.

A regular watcher of Barcelona B are we Chief?i dont get the hype with this guy
No. but I've watched enough of him to think he is in danger of having his promising career ruined early by needless hype.A regular watcher of Barcelona B are we Chief?
18 with too much hype for his own good. He should be left to develop in peace. Seems to have problem agents though. The contract stand of with barca makes little sense. He had an excellent chance this summer to make the first full time team under KoemanAlso he is 18 ffs
Why say that then mention Rice?We need a CDM. Casemiro/Fabinho/Rice type.
A destroyer who can play.
Matic is our current best attempt at a destroyer that can play.
Fred or McTominay cannot pass at all and they'll never be what we need to play 433.
Basically Roy Keane.
So not Rice thenWe need a CDM. Casemiro/Fabinho/Rice type.

Totally different types. Pedri has done and shown a lot more that definitely has him as a top talent.For all we know he is Barca’s next Pedri. Just buy him you never know.
His agents have been trying to bully barca. at his expenseTotally different types. Pedri has done and shown a lot more that definitely has him as a top talent.
Koeman seems to be a fan of Ilaix. So its bit strange that there is talk of him moving elsewhere.
Agree. There is room at Barca this season for him to grow. If not, surely a good loan opiton.His agents have been trying to bully barca. at his expense
A Roy Keane doesn’t exist in this day and age. Modric was the last of his type IMO, a player who can do it all in the midfield role. Players are lazy now so they can only do one or the other.We need a CDM. Casemiro/Fabinho/Rice type.

Verratti when hes fit. However yes far and few betweenA Roy Keane doesn’t exist in this day and age. Modric was the last of his type IMO, a player who can do it all in the midfield role. Players are lazy now so they can only do one or the other.
Verratti, De Jong, Fabinho, Fernandinho, maybe even JorginhoA Roy Keane doesn’t exist in this day and age. Modric was the last of his type IMO, a player who can do it all in the midfield role. Players are lazy now so they can only do one or the other.

Harsh on Rice...Why say that then mention Rice?
Kante's a decent shout. Can play CDM and has got better on the ball over the last few seasons just as Keane did in his career.Closest thing to Keane was Vidal. Kimmich?
Strootman looked decent alright. Keane was miles better than either going forward until after the treble though. As a sitting dm that he became he’s comparable to a lot more players. Keane was awesome, a force of nature as a box to boxKante's a decent shout. Can play CDM and has got better on the ball over the last few seasons just as Keane did in his career.
Strootman was the one I wonder what could've been. Pre injury Strootman I felt would've been ideal for us at the time.
