3 - Alejandro Balde

[Porque]

He peaked in his first season

If only he had improved since then.

If this was FM, it would be like one of those 18 year old regens you would find with incredible stats and then you check the source.

Current ability - 130
Potential Ability - 135

 

[Barcaman]

He's just too one-dimensional.

It's the same thing with every young player. People expect they would develop progressively but in reality many of them stagnate or even fall in oblivion.

I am eating humble pies as I criticised Cancelo when in reality he is class above Balde.

 

[Ter Stature]

Doesn't help that there's zero competition.

Deco or whoever is in reality responsible for the squad building is simply retarded.

 

[jamrock]

When he just broke through, he would mainly dribble into the box and look for a cut back or cross, now he's trying to cross the ball from the outside of the box.

It's something he needs to work on, but while doing so, needs to go back to what he does best.

I also rate Casado a lot more than Gavi, even pre-injury Gavi. Yamal, Cubarsi, Casado

I'm sure they are working on in but it's difficult to develop ofensive atributes as a fullback. We also waited for years for Semedo do be more comfortable on the ball but it never happened. Either you have it or you don't. I think Balde could be ok in a different, more Kounde like, role.

 

[Andresito]

Most positions need competition. It's a luxury to have two players properly fighting for a position but at the very least there should be a backup who's not total ass when the main player is out of form which is the case at LB currently with Balde and Martin.

 

[Devils]

Awful awful player.

 

[Barcaman]

Pick a random La Liga lb and odds are Balde is worse than him.

 

[khaled_a_d]

He is our worst starter, by a big margin.

He keeps this form until the end of the season, we need to be in the marjet for a starting LB,not just a backup.

 

[Behrox]

the fuck was he strolling in the last minutes letting molina have a straight run into the box with 0 pressure. Utterly useless donkey

 

[te amo barca]

He is like a left-footed Semedo. Good in 1v1 duels, terrible positioning, a non-factor offensively.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Cancelo >>>> Balde

 

[Messigician]

SIGN TITANIUM YURI IN JANUARY

 

[BBZ8800]

Aside from doing nothing for 90 minutes, he totally forgot his marker in the 95th minute.

He was covering him and then suddenly just forgot about him and his marker freely unmarked passed to Sorloth.
Insane.

His future is being a squad level of player for Getafe.
