I don't mind loaning him out to coaches whose philosophies match Barça's more than Barça's own coach. Malaga if Oscar Garcia becomes coach, Sociedad with Eusebio if Illara leaves, Sevilla with Sampaoli if N'Zonzi is sold (to Barça, lol). Sure, I can. Both DM's in their early career who...

Everything you said is exactly what makes him special. His game is all about the quick connections, moving the ball around quickly. In fact, his tempo and drive on the ball is better than Busquets' (who uses feints in his advantage instead). What Samper is doing is exactly what Xavi got stick...

Lemar is an attacking midfielder, Fabinho is box-box. None needed. A realistic and affordable player would be BMG's Dahoud.

Despite the error that lead to the goal, he was more than okay. EzmyxEXt0zM

My only theory is that Palencia is too important to Gerard López as captain and leader on/off the pitch. He's the glue in defense, which is an extremely important part of Barça B's team as almost all the teams in Segunda B have solid defenses.

Last season: Alba is injured, Adriano is crap, Mathieu is crap. Grimaldo is one of Europe's best young LB's, is Barça B's captain and best players. So why not call him? Potato potato. But now, it's even weirder. Palencia hasn't said no to a loan offer provided by Lucho and hasn't criticized...

Sorry, but this is a good move for him. He's been developing nicely, just 18, and now he's been sent to a place where he should continue to develop (like Asensio, Vallejo and the Llorente's). Madrid completely outdoing us in regards of handling youth these days. It's as simple as that.

Sell Rakitic and Arda (China?), and possibly Gomes too, and we have the money.

Hard to say, but he's developing more rapidly, that's for sure. Turned in to a beast in 1,5 year and is only 20.

He might be loaned out. Teams in Bundesliga and Eredivise want him.

When in need for actual attacking reinforcement: put in Arda at LW and Neymar more central. When Suárez needs a rest against useless teams at home: put in Paco. Paco's role could've been taken by any player good enough to play in Segunda B. And that include Munir, Sandro and all Barça B...

Love this team. Seems to be greatly bonded. Hats off to Gerard.

Anybody who watch him regularly? Is he still in good shape or did he just have a good euro?

Oh, Masip is defo worse than Cillessen. I watched him at his peak in 13/14 in Segunda A for Barça B. Great reflexes, but so small and bad in the air that he's way too easy to bully. I want Jose Suarez to compete with Cillessen soon (or loan him to Gijon, his childhood club).

Loan o'clock is approaching fast...

I don't know if I like the idea of making Rafinha, Denis, Gomes (and eventually Aleñá) to fight for the death for Iniesta's spot. Also not even confident Lucho would want Verratti. He signed Rakitic over Kroos. Likes the hard-worker, not the controller.

Can play all 3 positions in attack, really, but best in the middle. Although he's not a 9 like Suárez.

Yup, Robert's CB hunts have been good so far. Bear in mind he wanted Davinson Sanchez ahead of Marlon, and Sanchez is bossing hard in Ajax right now.

Mendes is truly a sorcerer.

Interesting!
