Its really not the only measure. Enjoy the passes, the goals, the celebrations, the crowd reactions, the wins, the champions league goal and wins.

Then when you look back you can try relate that to just trophies, or you can enjoy it and look back on each week as success, each goal as success and each player like saka/martinelli as success

his ceiling is winners in the classico, asissts and goals in the CL groups…

Not much more to do really. I guess some big england games in late stage int. competitions.

Last thing is to keep his body fit and healthy for 10+ years

From my understanding the term system player only came about as an alternative to a talisman player.

Basically, a player that has some extreme physical attributes (mbappe) that allow him to determine the game all on his own is a talisman player. He’ll smash out goals from tiny advantages such that it doesn’t matter what system he is playing under, he is a threat to any team.

Contrary to that, a system player is someone who doesn’t have that extreme physical strength, but a high baseline on all skills and an exceptional ability to understand and execute any strategy or the main strategy in any situation. These players are typically still strong players but they lack one major strength and have consistent high level on many strengths.

A team will not rely on a system player to break open a strategic stalemate with some unexpected improvisation, just as a team will not rely on the talisman to grind out a role or strategy that isn’t tailored to their strength.

In reality most players at the top level are a mix of both, someone like griezzman is a system player with unreal ability that can be the talisman when called upon. Just like how henry was a talisman but assimilated into the system at barcelona.

Wasn’t one of the seasons finances HEAVILY impacted by covid (empty stadiums)?

This all seems like a smokescreen considering the ridiculous shit thats been going on at chelsea (since 2003) and city (since 2009?). Crazy agents fees, hidden kickbacks, crazy wages, crazy transfer fees, dodgy sponsorships, dodgy money origins, dodgy and at times refusing financial documents

How can you be so sure he wont become seasoner veteran and seasonest veteran?

Seems like an oversight to me
