3 - Alejandro Balde

[Messi983]

Pretty much everyone has been garbage for Barca B tbh. Sergi just not a good coach.

Jutgla and Abde has done well under him.
Balde was available for 5 games with B team, not sure I can blame Sergi for his form

 

[Messi983]

Some rumours we want to send him on loan to Ajax with Tagliafico coming the other way.

Wouldn't be a bad move short term. We'd get someone experienced who can hopefully push Alba and Balde would get more playing time.

Not likely Ajax would accept this loan swap though.

Don't see why Ajax would want to get a younger player who's in need of playing time. Blind is the regular LB, would be risky to throw on an inexperienced and unadapted Balde in an emergency instead of someone like Tagliafico.

 

[Messi983]

Agreed, that's why I've said Ajax is unlikely to accept this swap.

And yeah, thinking more about this probably also wouldn't be the best move for Balde.

 

[Joan]

How's he playing? I hear it's not good.

 

[vuji_31]

Didn't watch, but I belive this guy can be decent player. Great speed, solid technique.

 

[jamrock]

He was super conservative, just kept playing square balls, but so was everyone so can't blame him.

 

[FCMessi]

can't spell cross

Since he can actually run and catch up to attackers, unlike 'Squirrel, the half time cry baby', I'm good.

 

[TheStig]

If he didn't cry during the game than he is our best LB.

 

[Barcaman]

If he didn't cry during the game than he is our best LB.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Alba should give him some sensitivity training to acquire proper Barca DNA.

 

[Andresito]

Not sure if he'll ever become good enough. He's hyped out of nothing really.

Still a long way to go.

 

[Porque]

He has good actions. I think he needs some time out of the Barcelona environment to express and grow in confidence in his play.

He is too comfortable here risking nothing in offense and cutting back. Some time in a more direct team could help him development his offensive fullback play and give physical preparations for his defensive game.

Not going to get it here with Alba nor with the way Xavi has his fullbacks interceding.

He is young, but not that young any more. Even going to Second Division is an improvement. Compare to Yan Couto who had a challenging year in Segunda and then went to Portugal and is getting starting minutes.

But out of the line of Grimaldo, Cucurella and Miranda he is the one I like the most at this stage of the career. Even if he has had an average season.
