    Those 3 with Pepi in front. Man, too much sauce for that to ever happen.

    And Konrad may be ready at some point, too. We've got nice options on wing.

    Lol. You know Big Soccer has a search function right?

    At least your deep need for a rage-gasm is making a rainy Monday pretty amusing.

    I am literally laughing as I type.

    (and, you know, you could also just say - "sorry, I misread your post" or even "your post wasn't clear, so I thought you were saying the opposite" and we would all be good "bruh". Oh my.)
     
  4. What's up?
    Either this bloke never really read my posts on Dest or he with some others have serious reading problems.
    As Freisland suggested use the search function and show me where I shit on him.
    Have fun reading my posts.
    You might discover Freisland and I were the first to suggest to put Dets in the midfield.

    Sorry lads. You look so dumb years later. One player is a Barcelona starter. And you’ll keep with your stupid posts. Hope that’s good enough for you.
     
  6. So you can't find a post in which I shit on him as you stated.
    Otherwise you would be jumping for joy to prove I did.
    Deliver or shut up.

    Lads… lol…

    I mean I literally wrote that Dest would play in front of Rensch in the post you quoted. Is it that you don’t know who Rensch is? Or who plays for Netherlands right now? Or you just need a good Monday tirade? It is a very odd compunction, but do what you gotta do…

    ‘seriously though, why you got to lie about easily verified stuff? That’s weird.
     
  9. Deliver what you claim.

    Hi folks. Let's return the discussion to Mr. Dest, rather than the people posting about him. Please.

    Classic post by the guy who doesn’t even love dest as much as his own mother smh.

    I’m so pumped dest plays for us. We have been missing swag for years and with dest, reyna, musah, puli, Adams etc we have such attitude these days.

    Quite a few folks doing deep-dive threads into Barca/Koeman's line-up/formation change. Some interesting stuff. Here's one:

    This is one of the craziest, improbable YA stories of all-time.....

    Kid who was playing DEFENDER for JONG AJAX a little over 2 years ago, had some American connection, but wanted by Holland and lived his whole live there.

    Fast forward less than 3 years....

    The guy is now regular starting winger for BARCELONA (in the slot where MESSI used to play) and scoring rockets for the US MEN'S NATIONAL TEAM in WORLD CUP QUALIFYING....

    This is soccer's version of LMFAO (if there ever was one) :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Dest playing a pretty advanced winger position today. He's always seemed like more of a winger than rb to me.

    He eventually moved back to RB to shore up the defense. Neither he nor his team were at their best but they squeaked out a 1-0 victory. They were all basically 6/10 today

    Moore is a poor man's Dest.

    While Sergiño can do well as a RB in a dominant Barça (which this one is not, but it's still a strong team), he should not be a RB with the NT --his lack of defensive chops becomes a problem there.

    Moore as a RB is poor even for the Segunda. He'd be a more decent option as a RW or RF there. Same for the national team, where he could be backup to a Dest playing RW/RF.

    There are plenty of games where Barcelona are not dominant and Dest is normally just fine defensively. This rush to change him to an attacker ignores that he has a much higher ceiling as a fullback/wingback than an attacker. While there may be times when he needs to play further up for club or country, and he has shown that he can do a good job in that role, his potential to be a truly special player goes away the closer you position him to the goal. He's young and will become a better defender over time. Be patient.
