A not so subtle hint there.....

Barca doing Barca things.

Barca don't have money

Keep going.......a little bit lower

Mirth what about Jorginho?

Jorginho isn't the same as born and raised Italians. Didn't he come to Europe pretty much at 15/16 years old anyways? He's more of a Brazillian for me who will travel where he needs to go to make it, win stuff and make money.

      Mirth Udogie?

      Decent shout, but he's only been here for a season. Even then, as a first or second generation immigrant, he'll still be in close touch with his African roots. Africans, even those of us born and raised in Western Europe, have no issues uprooting and moving cross continents if we believe it will get us paid and the sacrifice is worth it. I've done it myself.

      Actually wouldn't even say only Africans, most people who's family still has connections back to countries of their origins rife with poverty would have similar thinking (wherher from Africa, South and Central America, or South and South East Asia.

        Williams and Leao are very good, but I don't think either of them will significantly improve the team. Martinelli is on the same level going forward, but much better defensively and off the ball.

          Martinelli is not on the same level as Leao. Leao is one of the few wingers in the world who beats his man 6-7 times a game.

            Kel Varnsen I don't know about Williams, think he might have slightly more about him as he develops. Just a bit more awareness and intelligence in his play. Leao isn't better than Martinelli though, guys final ball is atrocious. I still don't think Williams is far enough better to warrant spending insane wages on when we have Martinelli though.

              Let’s not forget that Williams is 3 years younger than Leao (and a year younger than Martinelli). I dont think Williams is leaps and bounds better than Martinelli, which is totally fine. Martinelli SHOULD be the standard for our winger recruitment moving forward. Anyone we sign should be at his level or better to continue to progress our attack and I think Nico fits that criteria, with the added benefit that he can play on either wing. Having a utility winger that is good enough to start any game as well as add pace that no one other than Martinelli possesses in our front line is exactly what we should be adding this summer in my opinion.
