Aleix Vidal

Vidal is another case of us trying to turn him into something he isn't and that's an RB. While he did well in that role at Sevilla, it wasn't guaranteed that it would work here. Vidal is best off being reverted back into his original position and that's a winger.

Reminds me a lot of the Alex song debacle. He was first and foremost a CM/DM and we bought him in to be converted into a CB and as you can see it didn't work out. I mean not everyone could be a Mascherano and Roberto and adapt to a new position and make that said position their own.

Well, in theory Vidal ticked boxes that could work well at Barcelona - Catalan, La Masia, pace, good going forward and good energy. Problem is, he was never an adequate defender - ever. Always seemed like a kneejerk transfer during the elections despite knowing for a long time about both the ban and potential departure of Alves, so a RB was needed.

According to an article MD posted earlier today. Lucho and Vidal had a pretty long Conversation before the Alaves match and it was rather positive.

Sounds like despite the match he had Lucho still has confidence in Vidal.

I think the defender who should get most of the blame for the Alaves defeat is Mascherano. It was a mistake to let him play so early after his return from Argentina / Venezuela.

Right now it's not the time to be shooting him down, Lucho is not Mourinho, but his horrible performances remain for everyone to see...

InterMilan are interested in Aleix Vidal. The player doesn't want to listen to offers as he believes the chance will come in his way.[sport]

Well I would give him time until January, if not good enough by then, then kindly go please.

Yes. That'd be better for everyone. I don't see him learning to defend in 3 months.

i say we keep him, he is more than good enough to be a backup RB. there is a massive overreaction on this forum with people calling him the worst defender they have ever seen. hes probably the worst player in our team yes, but every team has a player like that, doesnt make him the worst defender ever, ive seen worse at this club alone.

before is the key word there. After the match I would be very surprised if there was anything positive.

you speak like he single-handledly cost us the match. masch made mistakes aswell, our forwards were poor, busi was poor. unless he walked the ball into our net twice, i dont see how he played bad enough for Lucho to completely change his mind about him.

i feel sorry for ya .. lol .. you keep falling for this same trap over and over .. no one is damn interested in this kind of players unless it's a free loan with a buying option. Sport are helping us marketing the player that's it
