Lol did you even bother to read what I originally wrote? For the record, I NEVER said that Theo was already WC or that Bennacer didn't have WC potential. What I actually said was that from a NEUTRAL standpoint, based on the current + previous seasons performances, Donna, Roma + Theo had the HIGHEST PROBABILITY of becoming WC one day e.g. 75% followed by Bennacer, Paqueta and Rebic e.g. 50%. In other words, from our entire 24 man squad, I identified them both amongst the 6 players with the highest potential. That's it plan + simple.
Now, if you disagree with my assessment or want to argue about it I could care less. However, if you take off your blinkers and look at the indicators e.g. market values and transfer rumours you'll quickly realise that the football world in general feels the same. For example, category A have all been linked to top clubs like Juve, Barcelona, RM lately unlike category B. Also, category A are our 3 most valuable players by market value which is indicative of their quality.
It's funny actually, you remind me of one of those posters who used to kiss Kessie's ass back in the day and refer to him in the same way you're talking about Bennacer now only to eat an entire cake full of humble pie a season later
The arrogance of your post is almost palpable
Lmao did you type your statistics into your machine to discover the probability of WC success? I' ll let you drag out your whoscored ratings.
Having spent multiple seasons in the top flight Donna and Roma have proven themselves a lot more than Theo and Bennacer.
I don't have an issue with that, I have an issue with the fact that you say I have blinkers on, yet you put Theo in the same bracket as Dona and Roma. Theo has had one good half season, even then he's made several mistakes which is understandable given his experience.
In this knee jerk world a LB who scores goals and had previous behaviour problems was always going to have a headline impact. It's still only half a season. It doesn't make his chances of reaching WC status any more than other young promising players we have like Bennacer.
Pull down your posters kid and actually realise that half a season doesn't make a player more likely to reach WC than another, especially when they are both so young.
In a few seasons we will see exactly what happens.
Lmao do you even realise that Theo grew up in the Atletico Madrid academy and played a season for Real fucking Madrid? They’re 2 of the biggest teams in football today in case you didn’t know so he has every right to be considered in the same category as Donna + Romagnoli especially after performing so well in his first season in Italy.
Meanwhile, Bennacer already spent a season in Italy before as part of a relegated teams midfield LOL.
Anyway, market values don’t lie nor does the fact that absolutely nobody is talking about Bennacer in the footballing world but keep deluding yourself that they’re on the same level if it makes you feel better during these difficult times

Lmao talk about downplaying Theo's entire career whilst inflating Bennacer's achievements to strengthen your argument. In case you didn't realise, according to FIFA's latest rankings, France are ranked 2nd amongst NT whereas Algeria aren't even in the TOP 20 LOL so of course it's going to be harder to break into the squad. Especially for a player who just turned 22 six months ago.
Also, Theo managed to play 13 league games as a 20yo for RM (competing against the likes of Marcelo) whereas Bennacer didn't even register a SINGLE game for Arsenal. In fact, they refused their option to buy him back last summer before we bought him LOL.
Finally, it's funny how you consider Bennacer achieving promotion with Empoli as some kind of crowning achievement yet downplayed Theo playing for the strongest team in the world. Also, Theo has NEVER played in the second tier of any football league whereas Bennacer spent time in Ligue 2 in addition to Serie B previously which speaks volumes given they're both the same age.
Let me guess, I bet you also consider Krunic a future superstar too right given that he also spent a few seasons with the mighty Empoli?
Lol Paqueta's market value was 30m last summer because he had a good half season in Serie A which solidified his value.
However, based on this season's performances his value dropped to 25m whereas Theo's skyrocketed to 36m which makes perfect sense.
In DeLigts case I wasn't talking about what they paid for him (which was insane and under everyone's eyes as you put it correctly), but the MV he's valued at as per transfermarkt.de. Kepa for example was valued 20M (which seems okayish) when Chelsea splashed 80M for him (no words here, really).
About what? I'm confused if you are agreeing or disagreeing and on what
