Exactly what we need unfortunately. Much better than other option out there but we know he will never leave unless they get relegated.
 
Aye, but second half Fred has ripped him a new one again.

Top player mind, would love him here.
Still got one or two line breaking run in second half. One around 88th minute I believed. Don't think he can step up another level in this Barcelona. They don't have players with pace to run in behind when Dembele out injured. When run past our midfielder, even if he passed, our defenders would be able to crowd out the ball receiver.
 
He is really not all that. And has too many Pogba style tactical issues he brings with him, without being near as talented.
 
Wanted to stay in Barca to play the Champions League.

He’s just been dumped out of the Europa League by the team that were courting him.
 
Exactly like the last game. Played well in the first, then Fred dominated him.


In all fairness Fred played like a prime Seedorf today. Or Zidane. Or insert whatever b2b legend there. Amazing game.
 
Stay away. Overran by intensity yet again.
Has he played well in a European game since that Ajax run?
 
If we got him last summer, pretty certain we don't Casemiro. Think it worked out pretty well...
 
He was much better in this game than the first. Showed some of his trademark dribbles that really broke our lines. It was quite worrying at times.

Didn't really get a grip of things in the second though.
 
You can see his quality. I'd love to have him here and pair him with Case in midfield.

Struggling with the physicality in the second half, which I think we could compensate with Case and Martinez in the team.
 
So clearly has the qualities our midfield lacks that it's reassuring ETH was so keen on him.
 
De Jong and quality striker and we are title contenders next season. Mentality is great in this squad
 
When Bruno saw the foul had been given, and his eyes lit up at the opportunity to just fecking leather it into him. :lol::devil:

Best shot Bruno has hit in a few months as well.
 
Played well but can tell he doesn't like intensity, a bit like Donny.

For the money quoted I'd pay the extra 30 for Bellingham in a heartbeat.
 
beating Barcelona is unbelievably satisfying in its own, but beating them with him in the side is the icing on the cake.
