If Paco-man joins I hope he won't be like his namesake - running around in a maze, eating dots while being chased by demons.

Munir is simply not good enough right now. People saying Alcacer will be a success if he scores in 5 important games? Can Munir go that? Munir hasnt even scored 5 goals for us in his whole career. He needs to develop elsewhere, he simply isnt good enough right now. He isnt 17 years old anymore, he is nearly 21 years old. Alcacer is only 2 years older than him and is already a top goalscorer at Valencia. People who want Munir to stay dont care about his development. Now that Arda is also an option in MSN, Munir will have even less games than last year. Other clubs are improving and doing so well, we wont win the CL with Munir as a backup. I cant trust Munir to play against Real if Suarez was injured but I can trust Alcacer because he has been doing it for 3+ years.

If Munir cant survive against Alcacer who people here thinks is shit then Munir was never good enough in the first place.
Munir has scored 4 goals in his last 6 games. What are you talking about mate??

Seems like the suggestion that he hasn't scored five in his entire career is kind of off, then, no?

i meant league career, just forgot to make that clear. even counting his 5 goals in Copa, he has 9 goals in his 2 years at Barca as a striker, this is largely due to his lack of games for us, therefore if he was to get more gametime, he would surpass those numbers. another reason for him to go on loan is for him to find his scoring boots which he is missing right now imo.

The best option would be sell him with a buy back clause after at least 2 seasons if he will be worth it, we can buy him back like Denis or rma did with Morata, if he won't, we can just be happy we got some cash from him that won't happen so easy if we loan him and fails there too.

This can also give him a chance at a better team than simply loaning him out.

He's only been a first team player for one season and that was largely used as a winger.

Arda's already scored 3 goals in 3 games in that winger position so that cant be the reason he doesnt score. He was used as a striker in the second leg of the Sevilla game and didnt impact until late in the second half. You are right though, he has only been a first team player for one season and he is still developing, but that is the reason he needs to play right now and isnt the striker we need right now.

If Neymar gets injured we'll play with PMS.

Didn't [MENTION=6450]BerkeleyBernie[/MENTION] once have a photo of Pedro Messi and Suarez and a red bold text saying PMS - *whatever they meant to him spelt*

I alwayd had a laugh but didn't want to annoy him as he really loved Pedro.

Arda's goals have all been recent and it's worth pointing out that Munir's sudden surge of form has also been relatively recent. This is ignoring that he essentially skipped the Barca B level (Went from winning the UYL to spending most his time with the first team) and is really young while Arda is almost 30.

I don't see how much better Alcacer can be than Munir has been since January. In 2016 Munir hasn't even been bad for us at all, and I'd like to see him just stay here than sign a player for the next 4-5 years who may only be a minor improvement.

Umm, if someone writes PMS, it'd be a mistake to assume it wasn't intentional. ;) As I recall, it was a parody of King Messi's S.N.M. (Show No Mercy) signature.
