Ramos pace has been invaluable while covering for Marcelo over the years. Militao would be a good fit if we are continue to play with an offensive LB. Reguilon is more balanced though no idea what his role will be under ZZ. I'd like to see Ligt tested in a team that doesn't press and have immense technical quality in midfield. Pique looked his best when Barca had GOAT midfield and his lack of pace becomes an issue when they are stretched with no control over the midfield. Shame they will have Arthur and Jong next season so that midfield won't have much weakness.
Dude is OK at RB but he's bang average offensively and it's very clear that his future lies at CB. He's not good enough offensively to be a great RB. Odriozola and Dani are both much better RB's.
https://www.whoscored.com/Players/337879/MatchStatistics/Eder-Militão I know the hype train is all on De Ligt, but Militao has been absolutely on fire lately. The link gives you whoscored's latest match ratings. Consistently getting ratings between 7.5-9 Overall in the season, he's averaging a 7.63 rating in the Primeira Liga. For comparison, De Ligt is averaging a 7.32 in the Eredivisie. Ramos is at a 6.91 in La Liga. Militao's rating is sky high. 7 man of the matches, more than anyone else in the Porto squad. 1 - FC Porto have only suffered one defeat in the Primeira Liga this season when defender Eder Militão has featured (W22 D4 L1), while they’ve lost two of the five games that he hasn’t played in (W3 D0 L2).

Full disclosure I have only seen 3 full games of Militao and some highlights. I have seen more than half a season of De Ligt which is why I have more to say about the Dutchie. Nothing would give me life more than if Barcelona sign De Ligt for a huge wage and fee (seems likely) and then Eder outplays him next season.
Guys, let’s not downplay Militao’s reputation either. There were are number of other clubs that were very interested in signing him, notably Man Utd. We haven’t picked up some unknown wonder-kid, for a bargain basement fee.
For those of you who have watched the kid, how do you rate his heading ability, on the scale of 1 to 93?
According to AS, doctors think medical exams will not be necessary, but they will monitor him tomorrow. Probably nothing serious

Will he get a presentation when he joins us after Copa America ? He is the only new signing that hasn’t been presented, I think.
