Re: Vinicius Jr signs for Madrid

by Thimmy Wed May 11, 2022 10:35 am

But he is another player who's struggled with injuries in the same period hmm

If he'd been U21, he'd probably be near the bottom of the list with 1 goal and (2 assists) in all comps this season.

by Perucho21 Fri May 13, 2022 2:07 pm

All comps according to a post on reddit

Mbappe : 59 G + A

Salah : 46 G + A

Vini : 41 G + A

Son : 32 G + A

Mane : 22 G + A

Fantastic season. Rightfully one of the best wingers in the world rn. Still needs polishing in the final 3rd in big matches. But I am eating my crow.

I now will go buy a vini shirt

What a season he's having

The balon d'or should be:

Benz
Vini
The rest

Nobody in world football have had the impact these two have had over the course of the season

by Perucho21 Sat May 28, 2022 10:43 pm

Holy fuck what a season

by M99 Sat May 28, 2022 11:33 pm

Easily a top 5 player this season. Don't want to see any mention of overrated PL scrubs over him.

You know, I am happy he scored the winning goal after all the Mbappe stuff as he was going to be one to be sacrificed to accommodate Mbappe's (now null and void) arrival.

It was rather poetic and I genuinely hope he continues to grow. Great season for him tbh.

Average game by him despite the goal tbh, Kounate manhandled him all game.

by Casciavit Sun May 29, 2022 5:52 am

Kounate had a great game. He has a weird build though. Maybe it’s the long arms Laughing

His balance isn't very good but he's an athletic beast. Fast, strong. Not super reliable on the ball though.

by BarcaLearning Sun May 29, 2022 7:06 am

Hes really fulfilled his potential. Still remember many Real fans calling him brainless chicken for yrs b4 this one though Very Happy

Whats most impressive apart from his obvious talents is his physically n mentally so strong. Despite his weaknesses too he more than makes up for it with his incredible workrate n determination... must be picking things up from mentors Modric, Benzema, etc...

by halamadrid2 Sun May 29, 2022 8:17 am

Pep accused of distorting the market when we paid 45 ME for him all those years ago and he just produced a balon d'or worthy season. Money absolutely well spent

Meanwhile the bald fraud went and bought a gucci wearing sissy for 100ME who choked in the semi final

No other blends the same degree of physicality and technique, mentality also on spot.

and getting better :coffee:

by futbol_bill Thu Mar 16, 2023 3:34 pm

That’s a biased view!

He still has flaws, particularly emotionally. He can still improve however.

I feel he is still behind both Haaland and Mbappe, but I definitely feel he is only behind those two.

by El Gunner Thu Mar 16, 2023 4:38 pm

on the same level as Saka, they have about the same G/A stats, Saka in a more competitive league. Saka may not be as fast as him, but Saka seems to have more tools in his box at this point.

by Valkyrja Thu Mar 16, 2023 4:50 pm

Of course he is.

by Valkyrja Thu Mar 16, 2023 4:53 pm

Closer to Henry than to Saka

except when he's playing against Araujo

Vini is still 22, hard to believe since he's been a prominent member of the first team for so long already.

If he improves his finishing and his decision making he's gonna be a monster. But the question is can he improve? Weird thing to say for a 22 year old but somehow he strikes me as someone who is close to his ceiling.

Don't be silly. Vini shouldn't be compared to someone who's yet to play a single minute of Champions League football Laughing

by El Gunner Thu Mar 16, 2023 11:20 pm

why not? by that logic every Joe and Jane that played in the CL this season is better than Saka? stop it please

by farfan Thu Mar 16, 2023 11:57 pm

Unlike Vinicius, every Joe and Jane isn't a top 3 player in the highest level of the sport hmm

You can't just give the edge to Saka for his performances in a supposedly more competitive league and conveniently leave out the fact that Vini is dominating the biggest stage of them all Laughing

by El Gunner Fri Mar 17, 2023 6:45 am

didn't give the edge to Saka, said they're on the same level, Saka's just constantly putting up his numbers in the more competitive domestic league... i respect Vinicius and his team's pedigree in the CL, but saying he is clearly a top 3 player in the world is craziness
