    Are you suggesting Kanté isn’t good on the ball?

    As I said, at this point, you’re comparing world class with potential.

    Always been very surprised they’ve never went for Verrati. Absolutely perfect to Barca’s style.

    Pretty sure Xavi himself said he saw Verratti as his natural successor.

    Not surprised, he’s the closest thing to him in football, not exact obviously because he was one of a kind but he brings different qualities as well.

    Even at this very moment, I would take FDJ over Kante in terms of ability on the ball - without question. What Kante is, is a roving destroyer who can go forward with the ball but his biggest strength is defending/tracking/intercepting in front of the back 4 not on the ball

    They did, several times - there's a theory that the Veratti pursuit ignited PSG decided to unsettle Barcelona with the Neymar transfer

    Our Xavi successor will be Arthur

    Didn’t know that, never heard anything about it. They should have got him in 2012 in the first place when he was at Pescara and about to go to PSG.

    There is no such thing as a Xavi successor.

    Arthur looks like some player though.

    Another good win for Athletic, moving up the table and still unbeaten under Garitano.

    :50: It's not right, no human should be that precise with a cross field ball, see how close the defender gets to it, Messi judges that, so many times, how on earth can someone judge the stretch of someone's leg? it's just insane :56:

    I'm hoping fingers crossed you find a stream cause I can't access eleven sports. Just seen they lost the rights to serie a? They are in desperate need of a platform cause it's so much easier when it's a channel number, plus you don't need to remember a password either.
