He was AWFUL in the World Cup. I thought maybe he was exhausted from a long club season or something... but maybe he just isn't good anymore?
Suarez hasn't been world class in a few years too. I don't get why they haven't gotten a killer 9.
I also have posted this 100 times but still don't understand: why haven't they gotten Christian Eriksen yet? He's perfect for what they're missing.
Well, it takes a board that knows what the hell it’s doing to pull something off like this instead of trying to play a league game in Miami.
I can imagine negotiations going like this:
Bartomeu: We’re interested in Eriksen
Levy: Did you bring the lube?
Barcelona board: (heads down en masse) Si.
(Two hours and a lowball offer later)
Bartomeu: So do we have a deal?
Levy: No, now kindly fuck off.
As for Suarez he was so shit early in the season last year it got to the point that I wish he did bite someone. He played well during the middle of season but went right back to being shit at the end of the year. He still does some very intelligent stuff to set up teammates but is now a very inconsistent finisher which is a problem for a nine.
I fear Barcelona becoming Milan once Messi leaves.
