It is a bit weird to think about reinforcing the LB spot right now especially being linked with yet another Youth prospect that is very unknown outside Fluminense followers or guys who have a hardcore scouting account who follow Brazilians.
Better off sticking with Balde/Fort and possibly Faye? (Assuming he stays and Flick thinks he can play LB).
Any news about that African (think he's Ghanaian) LB we were linked to?
E: David Oduro
) It's clear we are morrons. From all the Brazilians....According to Sport Deco is In talks with Porto for:
1. Faye's sale for 15m with buy-back option
2. Roque's loan
also, linked to Esquerdinha, LB from Fluminense
La operación lateral mira hacia Brasil
Flick pide reforzar los laterales y el Barça se fija en Esquerdinha, un zurdo Sub-20 del Fluminense explosivo, internacional en categorías de base y un futuro muy prometedorwww.sport.es
I watched second half of BarcaB vs Cordoba and Faye looked very sharp both defensively and passing wise. Why would they sell one of the best prospects?
Know nothing about this kid, is he even better than Valle for example? Probably not.
Selling Faye for the 15 mil would be disaster. Ship Ferran to Newcastle for the same instead.
He looks poor from Youtube videos. Obviously not the best talent indicator but there is nothing in there that shows he has any potential as a fullback, not unless the club see him as a CB or something.
