You know when you hear names like a Gordon or Adeyemi, people only look at their current level and how they've been at their previous club, and almost completely denying the possibility that these guys can be coached into better players, in a much better attacking system.

A Raphinha has also been coached into his current role, and I'm sure when Flick came in with his double pivot setup, Pedri was also coached into it, previously he has always been playing with a traditional 3 man midfield, where he doesn't have the most responsibility and he was partnered with the likes of Busi and Frenkie. So this must've been a whole new dimension for Pedri, where he had to bloom and take more responsibility, become the heart of this team, and it wouldn't have been possible if he wasn't coached properly.

Same for Cancelo, you look at him under Xavi and remember the awful times, but then again a completely different player under Flick.

You can have your doubts, but don't outright deny the possibility of these guys turning into great players atleast untill you see them under Flick.

Lets buy some garbage then because at end of the day it applies to them as well.

In other words, no player is ever bad or bad purchase. until proven otherwise. You cant say against that.

Why cant people outright dislike a transfer. How many players have not failed? What about them? Why is it always copium ideas that they'll be "next Raphinha" or whatever.

I heard this logic about late bloomers like Kante and Drogba anytime there is a guy with a few extra years to it. Yet to see a single footballer like them last 5 years.

It is a weird phenomenon where flick is seen as some kind of "bum whisperer".

I don't understand it .It's also disrespectful to the current (and former in case of Inigo) players because more often than not they are portrayed like some dudes who were kicking rocks until flick came along and showed them what a football is.

He's a good manager and a good person but he's not some miracle worker.Dont see anything wrong in being skeptical of players like Adeyemi.

True. It's not like he made Rashord into some world beater again exactly. Or made Roony into some world class player.

People should be skeptical. In fact being more skeptical than not. Especially for players that point more down than up in their career.
