2018/19 Yerry Mina

Aye, he certainly did for Barca, he didn't seem in tune with what the coaches wanted of him. But for Palmeiras he looked a little more stable (plenty of useful vids online with dreadful music), plus he's young still for a central defender so hopefully our coaching can get a good tune out of him.

The big ask is the jump in opposition quality from Palmeiras to Barca is obviously massive and he hasn't proven yet he can keep up. At least the Prem has more weaker sides than La Liga so hopefully that'll help him build up a rhythm.
Is this a troll? La Liga has much worse sides than the prem. In england we have just promoted sides spending a 100Mil ffs. La Liga has four good sides
 
hmmm, spending money doesn't make a good side. Spanish sides have constantly shown themselves to be stronger in Europe and they have far more than 4 good sides!

Which teams outside of there 4 top sides have done well in Europe?? Baring in mind they do treat Europe far more importantly than we do as well.

like Sevilla? that side who got to the CL QF last season beating United and who always go far in the EL. Or Celta Vigo who got to the EL semi final 3 years ago

Celta Vigo could have quite easily beaten United in the Europa League a couple years back and made the final. Athletic Bilbao played in a Europa League final. I'd say having Barca Atletico and Real Madrid all making the Champions League final is hugely impressive compared to anything England can offer. Then you have Sevilla, Athletic, Villarreal, Celta all with deep European runs in recent years.

Seville are one of there 4 successful clubs.

To use Celt a Vigo and Villarreal who both got beat by an English team sort of strengthens the point. Especially considering it’s in a competition English teams have no interest in.

We’ve had good runs in it also but so have other clubs but using the Europa league as a baromater of how strong La Liga is outside there 5 top clubs and then saying Celta, Villarreal and Athletic have had good runs just confirms it’s actually not that strong.

Liverpool, Arsenal, United, Leicester, Chelsea, City and Spurs have all had good runs in the Champions Lge. That’s 7 clubs reaching the latter stages of the big one in recent years despite the tougher domestic schedule.

I'm not really sure if there is any real way to change your mind given how selective your evidence is but you'll be hard pressed to find many people who will say the Premier League top to bottom is stronger than La Liga. More entertaining at times maybe but on quality for me it isn't close. Watching teams like Cardiff, Newcastle and Southampton all but confirms that.

One of the reasons that this myth of the Prem being harder developed is outside Ferguson no one was managed well enough to dominate. As good as he was he never really put up seasons in line with what Barca and Real have done. Granted he never had peak Messi and only had peak Ronaldo for two years but still. Pep is showing how it can be done in the Premier League too.
