3 - Alejandro Balde

Nah he was much better than this in his first season, he's just getting back to it slowly.

Since he's been promoted under both managers, he's been ask to basically provide all the width on his side, with no one to play off, one of the main reasons why I said the club should sign Nico.

A winger like that would unlock him even more.

Obviously raphinha wouldn't be dropped, just to be clear.
Next year there is a world where Yamal is playing the 10. That opens up the RW for Raphinha and Nico on the LW. Yamal and Raphinha can switch positions all the time and lose nothing. Yamal will be a true Messi free role type soon.

Add Balde to that and that's 4 decently to extremely fast players running wild on counters

No chance, if anyone of them will go to the 10 it will be Raphinha and it should be like that. Yamal is better wide, Rapha in the center, Olmo in the hospital.

Yamal's not great with multiple defenders tight on him why he needs to stay on the wing.

Who???

It’s not like there are prime Alba/Marcelo running around. Maybe I am forgetting someone…
Dumfries, Theo, Robertson... Dimarco and Grimaldo obviously if count wing backs too. Idk. I just have to see more of him to label as the best LB in the world. Been excellent last few games but not really throughout the season.

He's been excellent the entire season, especially considering he's coming back from a long term injury.

Bossed all the big games we played this season down him flack, by himself due to flicks system

I think you are fishing there a bit. No clear standouts for me… don’t think Balde has to hide.
