Might as well sell then, but issue is what we'll probably sell Dembele and replace him with Dani Olmo and be much worse.

Olmo will probably join on a free in 2024. His contract runs out that year.
As a left interior/LW rotation option I don't mind him tbh. At least he can actually shoot so he has a useful skill. I see him as a similar player to Asensio.

All depends on what offers get and financila situation this summer.
Also if Xavi thinks team will play in way to get best out of him.
Having a player paid 60m for and could maybe get similar back for is far too much to be sitting on bench when have other areas so week.
Also depends on who could sign to give more options out wide.. Zaha, Thuram for free etc but surely they are signing for EPL teams.
Would like to see him given some minutes in that AM role Gavi plays as Gavi isnt good enough yetr for that.. at least give him some minutes. But Xavi is getting to Busi levels on Gavi and finds way to fit him in regardless of how poor he is.

Need to try more Dembele on the left, Raphinha on the right like vs Betis imo. Dembele can do well on the left.

Yep, thats what we need to start with before anything else, in the summer we try to get a LF/LW.

Dembele was best player on park for Barca on left last game and def an option.
The issue with Raphinha on the right is Xavi wants players hugging touchline and to go back on left foot isnt easy from there to get ball in.
Reall he needs an attacking RB to take width and let him get central but Barca dont have it.. Roberto is about the closest.
Xavi has to get a RB in to let him have more freedom.
Even if means one of Christensen or Kounde goes but cant see them doing that.

Going into this season, I really throught raphinha would push Dembele to bench, with his overall better play & defensive contributions, or to the left at the very least.
while fati would find form in the new year and work his way into making the LF position is own.
Hasn't worked out like that, Dembele has been our 2nd best attacking option and deserves to start, whether LW or RW.
Raphinha, Fati are fighting for the other spot.
Torres is useless and xavi doesn't trust depay.

Wasnt as effecitve as Dembele as he just isnt the same threat going inside and out when isolated 1v1.
It is hard for a player like him to come on to a game where set up is for such a polar opposite wide players on RW.

He relies on tricks rather than feints and clever touches to beat his player. That's a recipe for disaster. I was fooled by his EPL moments, this guy simply doesn't have what it takes to be a top winger
