Meslier.
He is easily worth 40mil imo because of his age and potential. Can't see Barcelona paying that.
Phil Hay.Exploiting our system isn't a secret, pull players out of position and Exploit the space or just use your far superior individual to isolate and Exploit there outmatched marker (Ayling vs Coutinho was a total mistake).
Its the same with how we are the worst side for losing the ball in our half. We are more than the sum of our parts but individual quality is vital when you play the style we do (hence why the managers who have taken BielsaBall and done the best with it are at far better equipped teams, Pep, Poch, Simeone etc).
Imo to play BielsaBall consistently well at the top level you need elite players, we will never have that and for that reason whilst MB is here and whilst the ownership is who it is (and no this isn't a dig merely a statement of imo fact) we will always have a mid table ceiling. You will never get into Europe playing BielsaBall in the Premier League without elite players.
Struijk.
Best left sided cb and it is vital that when Cooper returns Bielsa doesn't drop Struijk for him.
Both from a footballing perspective and also from a u23 one.
It would send a message to the u23s that no matter how you do when your opportunity comes you are merely keeping a place warm for a senior players.
Struijk is effectively a litmus test for Bielsa.
