lowkey alot of PL stars have been flopping in la liga over the years

depends, usually the british talents flop overseas, the last real successful one was Gareth Bale, Hazard has been a flop , but they got him pushing 30, so that's on madrid

We stay getting finessed on these transfers

This is a good thread explaining why this deal was made, but it contains a lot of accounting minutiae. But the bottom line is that Barca made this deal solely for accounting purposes.

Barca needed to balance the books and maybe I'm wrong but Arthur seems overrated as fukk to me

I can't think of a player not named Harry Kane that's more overrated than Arthur

Arthur is overrated.
*mans receives a pass, makes it looks like he's bout to whip the most thorough ball to a running forward by switching his body from one side with the ball, only to waste play and slow the attack down by passing it back to Busquet or a cb*
but that ball retention though

i saws pjanic play against ajax last season, never seen a slower midfielder and de jong is a slow dude to, but pjanic is slower than slow and flops in big games. barca should have went to bentacur or just kept auther. if madrid play they cards rights they could dominate la liga this decade like barca did in the last, especially since messi is getting slower and will retire soon.

Arthur has been poor this season, but getting a young player with his potential for a 30 year-old Pjanic who has been even worse is a great move for Juve.


Barça on the other hand is already old, and they somehow managed to get even more

 

[nyknick]

It's been fukk Pjanic for me since he left Roma for Juventus and he's been pretty poor this season but I don't think he's washed yet.

He's a lazy player so a move to Barca will probably motivate him to step it up again

Inter doing the lords work

BS story since Bayern are adamant on getting Sane for cents on the dollar. The most likely outcome is Sane goes for free next year.

Inter doing the lords work

Another disastrous transfer move orchestrated by that wig-wearing twat Conte.

He is legit the worst manager when it comes to transfers.

Yeah it seems like it was one of those. It was curtain for Arthur since Dejong came to be honest. He shows signs of being great here and there but God damn he's the goat when it comes to passing sideways.
