Hector Bellerin

[fcbdna]

Don't know why I don't rate him defensively. . . Looks more like an attack minded player. We need to STRENGTHEN our defense!

Anyways, how is Samper doing nowadays? From what I remember, he was the most talented player in that generation.

He's doing great. Always looks a class above in everything, impressive reading of the game for such a young age (was outstanding in the recent Spain U21 game against Belarus as well) and will most likely be promoted to the first team starting next season. Definitely the most talented in that generation and looks like ready to fill in the big shoes. He's also very versatile and many people are wondering if he can play in a more advanced role as in replacing Xavi.

He's a bit too large and oafish to play like Xavi, but certainly is more mobile and has more ''dynamic'' dribbling technique than Busquets, so he could actually play like in a position that Lucho put Busc in Valensia away and PSG home game. Not that stable in defense, though. Have seen some pretty awful blunders from him.

We can play with 2 DMs, one more defensive (Busq) and one more as deep playmaker (Samper) with Rakitic in front of them. Chelsea used Matic/Fabregas in similar manner.

Bellerin is officially the fastest player in our club's history

Really good article. Also an interesting quote from it:

He joined Arsenal in the same summer that Fabregas returned to Catalonia and, as part of that deal, it is understood that Barcelona waived any future sell-on clause. An improved long-term contract is expected later this year.

If he doesn't come back and he signs with Real (fat chance with all their FBs, but stranger things have happened), what type of reception will he get in his first Clasico?

I wonder if he left because of Montoya. Because that would be hilarious. If he had stayed, he'd have a clear path to be the starting rb. That's why I'm not very fond of bringing him back.

 

[BenRobbins]

Nobody will be complaining when he is marauding down the right wing, linking up with messi making teams look stupid!

He probably left because of Alves.

Even now, with him set to leave in two month's time he is 100% the starter no matter how he plays and the coach wants him to stay for even longer. Considering how much of a role seniority plays into team selection (There's not any real good reason why Roberto should be playing CDM for us while Samper rots on the B team), there's very good reason to believe Montoya would be a starter for us long before Bellerin was even promoted to the first team.

Wenger be like, "They grow up so fast..."

i doubt. Arsenal did a great job in developing him.

He looks decent in "the most expensive league in the world".
