20 - Dani Olmo

[Joan]

Maybe we found out why he was at Leipzig all this time.

Good healthcare?

If this persists, no serious club will be able to rely on him.

This was always going to be the concern with Olmo tbh, and why spending so much on him was associated with a risk despite his quality.

21/22 - Missed 19 games
22/23 - Missed 20 games
23/24 - Missed 29 games

This season the number is up to 8 so far not including the games he's going to miss with his current injury.

Very likely also the reason for his inconsistency. Every time he starts developing some rhythm and form he gets injured......

This sounds like a player we should spend 60m on

This is why I was firmly against his signing...but he had a few good appearances at the beginning of the season so people started claiming victory early and flaming the "haters".

Not wanting a player due to him being always injured isn't hating, it's being not clueless. The most hilarious part is we were/are broke, could barely register him and still went for a player that misses half the season due to injury.

I said sign Nico so we have a third competent winger, and if we couldn't, save the money. We were going to need it for a LW, striker and a proper wingback. We didn't need another player who plays best where we already have 5 players capable of playing.

Let's wait a couple of months before we judge him on how much injuries he'll pick up... and when it comes to his qualities, I think he was amazing before his injury and than had a bad spell (that coincided with the rest of the team sucking tbh) and last month he's been good again. But yeah, did we actually need a AM or should we have continued our 4-3-3 - and if we needed a AM, could we have used Gavi or maybe Torre instead of Olmo or even signed somebody else? I'm going to reserve my opinion until the end of the season, sure I'm going to comment ups and downs but I won't write him of yet.

Was also pretty obvious the guy has issues. A player who was supposedly world class doesn't play at RB Leipzig at 26. Furthermore, no other big club wanted him. At 60M a top attacking player is a steal for lots of the big clubs in Europe.

But we don't do scouting, we look for the La Masia stamp on the label and we pay up.

I mostly agree, than again he maybe only wanted us and we wanted him - we don't actually know what went on behind the scenes, maybe other clubs were after him? Anyway, that La Masia stamp has costed us a couple of time - we better sort that out...

It is not true. All of the top PL teams wanted him including Liverpool and City.

Yet none submitted bids to lure him.

His quality isn't up for discussion, he's a very good player and speaks Spanish.

But we are/were completely broke. You don't pay 60-65mil when you're broke for a player that has been injured for half a season the past 3 seasons. He's been injured for more than half this season so far, who would of thought right?

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Ohlno signing only shows how desperate and incompetent Barca's recruiting is. At least we can always look at United to know we're not the worst.
