Signed him last night in FC and found there’s another Bergvall playing RB who’s one year older, assume that’s his brother in this picture.

You are right that it is his brother who is also a football player but there are three of them
.Lucas on the left, Theo in the middle is the older brother (the one you signed) and Rasmus on the right is the youngest (on the plane picture). They play RB and CB respectively.
Football genes comes from their mom who was a professional player for Djurgarden Women's team. The brothers have all represented Sweden at youth levels.

Funny cause thats exactly what they were doing to get players like Neymar and the like in.
Its also led them down the hole they are in.
The funny thing is, had they prioritised signings like Bergvall initially, instead of offering other clubs obscene money and players obscene salaries, they would not be in this mess.
As a fellow swede, I've watched Gyökeres a lot. Even before his move to Sporting I thought he was a better player than Isak. Even if Gyökeres doesn't score he offers so much to the team. He's a pressing forward, always on the move. He's also strong, has decent pace and is actually a good dribbler.
He would be an Ange-type of striker but is probably out of our reach. I can't see us spending that much money on him.
With that said, I'm very excited with Bergvall joining us. I've seen him live a couple of times and he was always one of the better players on the pitch.

They made the mistake of seeing themselves as the product rather than La Liga as a whole. The league was so weak that they didn't even need Coutinho, Dembele, Griezmann etc to carry on winning, that was pure show and greed and none of them worked out, serves them right.

I do like Barca, they are an institution more than a club same as Madrid, long history, and City/Chelsea/Newcastle are far more scummy. But it's a massive fall from grace.

Pedantic hat on but strictly speaking the guy doesn't say Barca offered him more money, just that money wasn't the deciding factor.

Yeah totally.
I also think that Neymar sale effected them. Like it seriously hurt their pride so they wanted to show the world they could take anyone.
Totally forgot everything that made them so great. Lá Masia players blended with up coming talents.

Barca are just a badly run club. I've followed them as a second team for a long time. They play great football and have a great history of producing top players. They suffer from an identity crisis at the moment. They do these crazy deals for big names like Felix but they also sign top prospects like Roque. It's like they can't decide what approach to take.
I think Lucas has made a wise decision because there's just far too much in uncertainty at Barca. It's a bad one for Barca though because he's exactly the type of player they should be getting and should have done for the last few years. They needed to go back to building from the academy again and stop these Kounde signings that they simply can't afford.
It must be tough for these young players now. Barca have been a dream for many growing up and they're still a glamour team in the minds of many. It could easily have gone the other way and Lucas could be heading there instead. He seems to have good people around him because this is the right decision. We're a team that's got our house in order and although there's still lots of work to be done we have a clear strategy. Barca just can't say that.
