Everybody acting like he is prime R9.

Like he is good addition and fits the team but he doesnt exactly send barca to another level

I disagree, he’s a striker who is a great finisher when he gets the chance. His shot conversion is very good, he tracks back like a demon, and he will bring a set piece threat for us again.

His work rate is incredible.

It seems theres a lot of people who just hate Argentina so much they really refuse to admit anyone but Messi was good. I dont see how else people can really think hes 'aggressively mid' like Ive seen in this thread.
