    Griezmann all day for that kind of price if there's an insistence on spending money. Then add Arthur if necessary.

    But yeah. We don't need coutinho. It's spending just to spend. And we aren't very financially stable even before throwing out that kind of money.

    Dembele and countinho for the shit load of money we got for Neymar. Seems pretty meh to me.

    And Dembele is raw as fuck. Gonna need the rest of this season and next to figure his role out. Wouldn’t expect much from him until 2019-2020 season.

    That's how young players go. Yeah, sure he's raw. No, he's not Neymar and will never be, as that kind of talent is extremely rare. However, not even Neymar came in looking like a godsend his first few years. It wasn't until his last year at Barcelona that he truly looked like the real deal and someone that could cohesively function with a team around him. Messi played a large role in developing Neymar into that well rounded player. I'm confident he can get Dembele playing at his ceiling as well.

    Gives him six months to get acclimated before we actually need him? I don’t know. AG has to be off right. Would be an absurd amount of money in one year

    They’ve got to see him as Iniestas replacement long term is what I’m thinking.

    Been a Coutinho skeptic for years but he's really fucking good right now.

    Messi will probably get mad at times at him popping off from 25 yards constantly but he's putting most them on target these days.

    Gomes will probably do very well for himself elsewhere. Our MF is consistently dead when he features, though. Roberto was surprisingly mediocre, and messi was mostly non-existent. Incredibly surprised we pulled that one out.

    I'm beginning to understand why we splurged on Coutinho. It's a bit frustrating because it blocks any chance of Roberto hitting the MF, where he truly belongs.

    Also, Busquets is just....Busquets. Every single game he's solid. It's unfortunate he tarnished himself early on with his flopping prowess because he's truly incredible.

    Seems like there is a bunch of drama with him at PSG. As poorly as our club is ran, we keep the drama low in terms of players on the squad. Messi kept Neymar in check. Dudes a mad man at PSG.

    Didn’t get a chance to watch today. Any mini break downs for me?

    I’m actually in Paris right now, (look at me), and I was watching at a bar. I couldn’t believe he took that penalty. Also, after the match ended a lot of the players celebrated with fans, but Neymar literally walked off the pitch right away. Based on my limited observations, he really doesn’t seem happy at all. It’s just a job for him

    Really wish we don't offload Vidal. No idea where he fits in these days with coutinho being brought in on top of what was already a log-jammed MF, but I'm a big fan of what's going on down the right side when he and Sergi are playing. Both trading off bombing up the field while the other takes care of defense is an amazing combo.

    Need Roberto in the midfield. Semedo is the answer at RB

    I thought he looked good.

    Clearly trusted by Messi, who doesn’t trust Dembele.

    Didn't matter if it was in the air or on the ground, he snuffed out anything and everything. Not only that, he could then calmly play the counter pass despite being under pressure.
