27 - Jesse Bisiwu

Jamque said:
8m is nothing in today's football. That's like 4/5m a decade ago. And in 2018 we paid 4.7m for Ronald Araujo out of Uruguay.

Deco took a punt because he looks like one of those raw AF extremely talented kids like Dembele and Diomande. Could explode, or could end up a Segunda nobody. It's all down to if the lad has the mentality to harness the talent.

Nothing more to it really. I reckon he's getting minutes later in the season when after adapting and being fully match fit, he is on a completely different level to the rest of the B attackers.

It's kind of hard with these types of players who are too good for the B team but not good enough for first-team minutes.

When B was in Primera RFEF it was easier to evaluate those players. The level was a bit better and the playing conditions weren't so terrible. Ditto Segunda.

With the B team being in the 4th division I think it is difficult to keep players there and expect them to develop at that level. Bisiwu cost 8m, does a player who can command that fee have anything to do with the 4th division? Is he going to develop playing there?

Ideally, these kinds of players should be filling squad/backup roles in the first-team so they can play from time to time whilst also training at the first-team level, but it doesn't look like Flick thinks Bisiwu is up to the level for that yet. In that case, he should have gone on loan, much better than playing with the B team.
 
Relax, soon injuries to first team attackers will happen which will open up the minutes in the first team for him. Also Copa games where he should be a starter. Meanwhile training with the first team, adapting to new club and level and playing for Barca Atletic without much pressure doesn't sound too bad.
 
Had a look at his latest game for the b team. Looked to be playing on one of those older generation ag pitches with sand on them :ROFLMAO:

I have a very good feeling about him, he seems underrated on this forum because of the first team success, he's in the shadow which is probably good for him for now. As I said a while ago I think long term he could end up the best signing of this summer even if that statement now sounds stupid.
 
Yes I think so. Watched an interview of his and he's still not decided if he'll play for Belgium or some African country in senior football.
 
Need to see him against a LaLiga team first, or atleast Copa.

I have high hopes for him. Him being able to play against scrubs would alleviate a lot of my anxiety about Yamal or Rapha playing and getting fatigued.
 
I don't particularly care if he plays or not. Still think there are very slim chances for him to play AT ALL in La Liga or any meaningful match against a 1st Division opponent in Copa. Let alone be rotation option as some clowns predicted.

Issue is price tag. Barca paid 8 million and that is way too much for a B team player. Deco needs to loan him out this winter to a 2st division team somewhere.
 
It depends on injuries, 1-2 injuries to our attacker and he's getting minutes. The same for him and Hamza, we'll see who Flick prefers.
 
We didn't sign him for the B team. The plan is to develop there and be ready for the first team in 1-2 years. He'll get games at the first team even this season.
 
Or we let the club manage our youth development & transfer integration like they have been under Flick, impeccably - you know, the ones who have put this incredible squad together already and know better than rest of footballing world much less ITKs who believe they know the best way to integrate a player they never even heard of 12 months ago
