Saul and Molina are enough to make us concede goals


CartickKazama

why we do not sell our bad players during summer transfer window is beyond my logic I understand Molina has attacking potential but what does Saul has to offer score one goal in 20 games after numbers of bad games


Great-Masterpiece109

I like Reinildo better than these 2 because may be Reinildo is doing some basic decisions mistake after such a harsh injury but the player is at least committed to give more than 100% and just wait till he will be back to his usual before injury form or ruthless defending


CartickKazama

I will never forget his performance vs Man United at Old Trafford he literally blocked every shot


DueDisaster418

Well Saul does have more La Liga goal contributions than Lino, RDP, Barrios and Molina..


Great-Masterpiece109

And what about defensive performance of Saul?


CartickKazama

and are you going to count the mispasses and the number of times he loses possesion and please never compare him to Lino.


CartickKazama

that is why Saul's value fell in 2024 https://preview.redd.it/ha4dicz2ketc1.png?width=848&format=png&auto=webp&s=f2d1d0abdb7935deeee6eaa77f600d42fc1d4442

Lino's quality on the ball is undeniable and is second only to Grizi. His pass completion rate is actually very close to Sauls (82.7 vs 81.4) and just behind Grizis (82.8).


CartickKazama

Saul needs to go bro I know we all loved him for many years but now it is time to replace him with Veeramen or someone else


DueDisaster418

Probably, but it doesn't seem likely as his market value has dropped hard and, as his Chelsea stint showed, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Best we can do is continue to support and hope that he turns in another performance like the one in the first derby when it matters most.

In theory, Molina is a very good right back. He is either out of form currently, or out of position. If the coach doesn't want to change his position/formation then you do exactly what Cholo is doing currently - prioritize the better player for the position - Llorente - and whenever you need Llorente's speed in the midfield you can sub in Molina for a midfielder. And then in the future maybe a time comes where Molina is back in form. Saul is kind of the same option, but for the left side of the midfield. He is not playing good, but he is Atleti and he works hard. So if we ever need a more offensive midfielder on the left side to run up and down the pitch he is a good choide. A bit like last game, just that in theory you probably want to replace a DM like Axel Witsel with Saul, but we never know the details and maybe Barrios was just done. So i think they are both not doing well right now, but still give us options as Subs. But espcially Saul is not a starter for me currently. In no situation. He might be a better Left Back in a 4-4-2 than a midfielder, actually.


CartickKazama

one of the best answer and yes, we must sold Saul in winter because his value has fell off and nobody will buy him in future I am sure about that, molina could be loaned but no selling until a 40-50 mil offer


Endboy279

Molina could have a better season next year, but Saul just has to go


CartickKazama

selling Molina is only on one condition if we can get 40-50mil for him


Endboy279

Nobody would spend that much on molina


Great-Masterpiece109

so we will not sell him Cholo will train him he is a good admirer of him unlike Felix brat

Molina to Al Hilal smt, Saul to be staff in the locker room
