Franck Kessie

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Maybe he is not super strong, but for Barca's standards who are imo: the shortest and the least muscles-based team in the world in the last few years, he will look like prime Davids/Seedorf compared to legs, chests and arms of Pedri, Puig, Busi, Ferran and similar.

Since Barca has Adama we can't be the least muscles based team

Harsh, he's been working hard, go look at his biceps in the Pedri thread

True that. Muscles helped us to second place.

Overall, maybe Adama helped something.. Barca players noticed how much behind they were him physically and had to work out more, not just kick the ball. All our young guys look like they worked out a lot. Positive improvement from Adamas presence.

He's of the right age which isn't unimportant but I've never been impressed with him. Sured, based on a small sample. I like the idea of Kessie, not sure I like the player. Hope he does great, feels like we haven't had a successful transfer in years.

 

[Total-Football]

I put 2 Gs he flop. sorry

 

[Slevinn]

Will be our only mid not going to the WC (Torre too if you see him as a first team mid) so I guess that worth something.

 

[Nucky]

What number will he wear? I guess he'll get Pedri's old number 16..

Should get the #5

It was reported that he's getting 19, so that means a new number for Ferran as well. Wish he would just get 16, and Ferran stays 19. We need to save 11 for Raphinha.

Can see Ferran going for #11, same he has in Spain.

 

[Andresito]

Was reluctant to post this, because media does this with 90% of our new signings, with every single coach. Like what the hell did the scouting reports say?

Kessie has surprised Xavi and the rest of the coaching staff with his physicality, but above all with his good technique. [sport]

 

[Messi983]

Scouting reports? We don't use those here.

 

[Porque]

Xavi demanded Kessie after seeing his WhoScored Pass percentage of 92%.

Whatever he done in training after that is just a bonus.

 

[Messi983]

Our new #5
