Thought he could be a poor mans villa given that his strength is movement but that movement is useless if he cant finish. Also not really poor mans villa given the price we paid.

Really want him to succeed given that he really cares about playing here but damn has he been quite disappointing

I initially said he was going to probably be another Alexis Sanchez for us.

But so far he has made Alexis, who was frustrating as hell to watch, look like prime Robben.

We paid 65m for this guy, Liverpool paid about the same for jota & Diaz.

Insanity.

We have paid exactly 55 mil. + 10 mil's in bonuses which he obviously wouldn't get. But, we have to mention that Xavi was very adamant to have this scrap and Laporta did everything possible to bring him in. He also insisted to have Adama Traore, who is the same shit. Wasted in vain money, which will lesser our chances to bring in world class striker in the summer.

So, still struggling to understand why we paid 55mil for this guy. Pace? no. Dribbling? no. Finishing? LOL no. He can get into a good position sure but then he fluffs his lines.

I?m frustrated too, as I built up so much hope of us making a grand comeback, winning Europa League and crushing the Champions League winner at the beginning of next season. I was literally envisioning the glory, and then it all ended within a span of 5 days! So I understand the frustration!

But The dude only turned 22 in February. The club clearly views him as an appreciating asset who will only continue to get better and better. Imagine if we had been as hard on Xavi or Iniesta at the age of 22.

Fact is that as a result of extremely poor management under Bartomeu (and some blunders by Laporta), we have been forced to ask a whole group of youngsters to carry our team and win major titles. Now that that clearly isn?t happening this season, guys like Ferran are taking the blame for it when the entire team has been underperforming over the last 3-4 games.

If someone is to blame for all of this, it is Ratomeu! He allowed the club to sink like the Titanic, so to speak.

He is the least of our worries.

Should be more concerned about clown of a keeper.

Shambolic defense.

Dumbele leaving.

Old players not leaving.

Thing is, Ferran could and probably will end up a top player but Griezmann was also a top player but wrong fit at Barca. We have no use for Ferran style players, we need wingers with pace and trickery and a deadly striker. It looks like our latest strategy is to throw money at Spanish internationals now; Garcia (free), Adama, Ferran.. we were linked with Morata and Laport also

As for me, the jury is still out on Garcia. I can see why some have been critical of his performances as of lately. But he just turned 21 in January, so he has time to develop. He also strikes me as being highly professional and goal oriented. Just as with Ferran, three respectable coaches value Garcia highly.

Yes, Adamas rightful level is that of Wolves. With that said, he has brought us some positives, for example competition on the right wing, speed, and a professional attitude, at a time in which we had little money to spend. He is fine temporarily.

As for Ferran, my main concern has been his poor execution. Despite that, he has already amassed a respectable tally of goals so far. Dembele and Aubameyang have also had their fair share of misses (the latter over the last few games). Auba stopped scoring and the whole team suffered bigly.

I have a good feeling that this guy would be a good 9. Fati ferran raphinha (hopefully) lets do it. The dynamic trio

I thought that too before he joined, but not anymore
He simply lacks the ability to influence the game when he isn't scoring, and currently he is a bad finisher
