Let's see how it hoes in 3 years, he is a long term investment there. No way they paid that much without the coach being on board
Not sure how true that report is. I am sure they are building his match fitness.
But I can also assume that the coach is not impressed by his workrate and off the ball movement. That is something that they can definitely install in Leipzig though, and if he doesn't develop on it then thats on him.
One last point, in the hindsight of how our mercado went and how desperate we were. Let us not rule out that we were more eager for the transfer fee than for paying Ilaix an improved wage. I don't think the case is 100% clearcut as the media suggested, and Ilaix has illuded to this.
Spanish press just can't wait to see him fail. It fits the story too well. Easy clicks for now.
In the end, him leaving was great for Barca. If he stayed, one of Gavi or Nico wouldn't have gotten chances like they did so far.
He would have been good fit. We need more size as it is and he was pretty aggressive too.
Moriba was crap. Nico is much better than him and much stronger.
