Basically if he was a RB Xavi would love him.

Someone with pace, who holds position and can tiki-taka, while offering nothing offensively.

I've watched Balde for a long time and been a fan for a while, I would say by far his biggest issue is dreadful delivery.

He's very fast, good dribbler, overlaps well and knows how to get past his man but his crosses are always miles off. If he can fix that he would be ready to play a role for the first-team now.

According to Sport Barca asked Bellerin to wait on our offer until the end of transfer window.

Probably doesn't feel good for a player if you know you're like 5th option and they'll only sign you if they won't find a better alternative but tbh at this point wouldn't mind getting him on loan with Arsenal covering part of his wages (they are desperate to get rid off him and don't think there is really that much interest in him so they might actually accept that. Alternatively they can rescind his contract like they did with Auba and we sign him on a 1-year deal with low wages). Would probably prefer to come home rather than returning to Betis who also can't really afford him at this moment. They've still not registered their new signings and renewed players like Joaquin.

Far from being a fan of Bellerin but better than spend 40m on Foyth, 15m on Meunier or use Roberto/Araujo as RB in all games. From what I've seen he was ok at Betis last season and it would give us another year to consider longterm RB options instead of panic buying and overpaying for someone now.

De Jong, Depay, Dest and Braithwaite. That's a lot to get rid of before the end of the month.

I just hope that De Jong finds a new home, so Kounde can be registered. Eric Garcia should not be a regular for Barca. Araujo, Christensen and Kounde on the back line, Pique and Garcia for depth. Alba, Kessie, Balde and Roberto, maybe Bellerin too, rotating on the wings.

.@gerardromero: "We are not ready for the remaining days of this transfer window. This is a warning!"

Kounde getting loaned to Chelsea!?!

Seriously though, the board pulled out some surprise deals end of winter market. They will be working till the end of this one.

Here are his stats from last season

If he was good then Betis would have kept him, probably a wage issue though.

He would probably be ok as a stopgap for the majority of LaLiga games. Though he suffers from much the same issues as Dest defensively. So it depends on if we can fetch a decent fee for Dest as it's very much a sideways move.

Javi Galan is more than just an option at Bar?a - concrete interest, as there are problems in closing Alonso due to fair play. Player is open to a move and his wages won’t be an issue either. Vigo won’t make it easy though.
@MatteMoretto

A possible offer from Barcelona won’t reach €18M, but won’t be far off either — also possible Vigo can negotiate a fee close to his clause (€18M).
@MatteMoretto

For now, the emergence of Balde in the team hasn’t made any impact on Bar?a’s idea of getting a new LB.

Galan is good, but damn.

If they sign Galan and Balde continues then Alba's Barca career is finished after the World Cup.
