Aguero is the old guard. Manaj is the new generation. Barca loves investing in young up and coming potential world class players.artan wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 4:08 pmCome on.

Manaj needs playing time not to be a 4th or 5th choice striker.

All those players you mentioned are injury prone. Half of them will probably be out by week 3.
Messi can't do it on his own. He needs help and Manaj will provide that.

Crazy how we’re even having this conversation. But let’s not even mention him and world class please.
But RedFootballs said it the other day , he looks much slimmer and is taking it seriously now. Looks good but let’s see if he can keep it up .

Correct and I agree with you on the last line but in terms of '9' They have only Aguero. The youth academy doesn't have a 9. So in the dream situation where Braithwaite and Griezmann leave he might get quality playing timeartan wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 4:08 pmCome on.

The Spanish medias are saying they want to loan him out 'to get more experience' now so I'm really hoping that is not true (I can't see why, do they see a future for him in the first-team permanently??), since they have him under contract for a while I'd like him to get out of there now whilst he has the hype and offers.

If Manaj ends up playing with Messi and gets good minutes at Barca that might be the biggest meme of Albanian players ever. Went from playing in the 3rd division to being considered as a Barca squad player in a year.

One of my sources in Barcelona was telling me that Messi only agreed to a pay cut because he was promised Rey Manaj would be a starter alongside him.

https://twitter.com/ReshadRahman_/statu ... 7615951877 Manaj's fate will be decided on whether Braithwaite/Griezmann leave. So I think we'll see him at Cadiz next year.

Barca will make a big mistake if they sell for that little. 3-5 mill? In 2-3 years Manaj will be the new Aguero or the new Manaj,

Hold your horses this is an insane reach , from division 3 player to one of the best STs ever because of 2 preseason games.Aurora Bulkualis wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 7:55 pm Barca will make a big mistake if they sell for that little. 3-5 mill?

He's trolling haha, but realistically Manaj could become a decent top-flight striker imo if he carries on with good attitude and focussing. I was laughed at for saying that a month or two ago but his opportunity is there, whether it's at Barca after Braithwaite or Griez leave or it's at Cadiz/Sassuolo. If he takes it he takes it.CanaYouDoIt wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 8:29 pmHold your horses this is an insane reach , from division 3 player to one of the best STs ever because of 2 preseason games.Aurora Bulkualis wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 7:55 pm Barca will make a big mistake if they sell for that little. 3-5 mill?
