I'm pretty sure many Barca fans thought Sergi Roberto was average when he was 20 and now he's an extraordinary good player. I remember when people wanted him sold and even said he's only good for teams like Stoke and West Ham and he proved you all wrong.
This is why you can't judge a youth player, especially a player like Aleña which was a better player than Roberto when he was at the same age. And Aleña will be a better player than Roberto at the age of 25. Many people expect Aleña to play like peak Xavi while praising Gomes, Denis and Paulinho disasterclass almost every fucking week. Don't come here and act like you hate this board when many of you share the same opinion as them which is: la masia players needs to perform godly at age age of 19-20 if they get their chances while Gomes, Denis and Paulinho at the age of 24 and 29 can perform badly in almost every game and still get protected. Tired of Gomes fans vs Denis Fans when the reality is that both of them are bang average and should either be sold or loaned out. Gomes is protected by this fanbase while his teammates are frustratet by him. And Denis is bang average and I can't believe people rate him because he looks handsome and played for Barca B. And Paulinho is rated because he scores goal which is created for him, but the man is exposing our midfield and provide zero control because he has no technical ability. And don't come here and say that Gomes, Denis and Paulinho have experience and thats why they play more than youth players. Aleña with traning and enough playing time will get experience. He will be better than all of them combined and it will maybe take him 1-2 year. To be honest he's already way better than all of them, but still need to learn more. Roberto which was Stoke or West Ham level renewed his contract today until 2022 so hahaha you took the L. Even Conte wanted him at Chelsea so I rather be patient and wait for youth players to shine than attacking them after 1-2 games.
Average players that should either be sold or loaned out: Gomes, Denis, Paulinho, Rafinha, Vidal, Paco, Digne and Deulofeu. Here I mentioned 4 players that have played for la masia so I'm not a la masia hipster that likes to keep academy players even tho they are average. I'm fair unlike many of you that is hating on Aleña for no fucking reason when he's only 20 years old. The boy has the technical ability to play for Barca and I want to be patient and let him develope in peace. It's okey to give an opinion on how he played and what he should work on to improve, but don't call him for bang average and shit player when he's not. Be patient please because otherwise you will take the L in the future ☺
