Ilaix Moriba

[Barcaman]

Damn, didn't expect him to be a greedy kid.

 

[xXKonan]

If you see his agency it makes more sense really.

if Illaix really wants to stay he needs to be realistic and also not let his agency fuck him over.

 

[fergus90]

The way I see it is, Barca put a lot of trust and faith him by giving him the biggest contract they'd ever given a youth player and at 18 has been given first team opportunities.

The very least he could do in return is not have the club over a barrel during a time of severe financial uncertainty. Repay the faith they showed him and accept that a bigger contract isn't possible right now.

Yeah lol he scored one nice goal, and had a couple of cutbacks or easy passes that resulted in assists. Is this what he bases his demands on?
He looked WAY out of his league when he got to play - slow, clumsy, positionless. He compensated by being young and arguing with refs and opponents sometimes, that made some posters here wet in their boxer shorts. I was sceptical from the beginning but still had higher expectations than what he later showed, and now he thinks he's in position to make a lot of demands, when the club is in the position it is in?

His dad is full of shit

Not THAT big of a talent so he can feck off.

This kid and his family are complete idiots. Koeman gave this kid a chance on the highest level with only 18y of age and now all of a sudden money is the main issue!? FFS kid, you are only 18y old you will have plenty of time to earn more if you are the real deal.

If he refuses to renew just let him rot on the stands during the next 12 months.

Maybe he afraid he ain't the real deal.

 

[Porque]

Sometimes these young players have the pressure of the whole family to earn as much as possible at all cost.

Dad wants to do this venture, that relative has debts, etc.

I generally can't see how the 200/300k a year will make a difference to a youth player himself.

So it's a bad combination when you got the parents pressuring for the money and partnering with an agent who is pushing a switch for his singing on fee %.

Shame as I thought Ilaix would have more will to stay here being surrounded by Ansu and Pedri who seem to have stayed content and level headed at the same age.

 

[DonAK]

Yeah, to be fair, it might not be Ilaix himself making these stupid demands. I have doubts about him being in charge of his finances and he might have blind support in his family + agents here.

Ozil was like that too, until his father fucked up so bad Florentino saw it fit to sell him and only then did he ditch his father for a proper agent lol.

tbf, how many of those hyped kids make it anyway? It is smart to take the money you can get rather than wait for something that may never arrive.
But with Moriba case, the paid is already paid well and will get good pay raise in 2022. So you can't blame that for paying family debts

Nah, this excuse doesn't fly. He's 18, not 10. It's his decision. The family & entourage is only consultative.

I did not expect to have this soap opera with this youngster who didn't prove much yet.

The hassle with such players is only worth it if they become the best of the best. Plenty of fish in the water if not.

Yeah he's 18 so he can call the shots, but it isn't that simple. Two examples popping up are Rabiot and Neymar who's careers have been extremely influenced by parents. There are definitely more examples of this.

That said, this whole thing is tiring. Ilaix's representatives are idiots for pressuring the club like this. All I wish for is a drama free club after all these years with presidents, coaches and players who keep making headlines in a bad way. Getting rid of Ilaix could be beneficial if we get some cash at the same time.
