Jordi Alba

The squirrel is on his way of becoming our greatest LB of all time, mark my words.

Amen to that.

Very good decision to buy him. Not too costly and very good till now, I hope he'll even improve !

There were lots of complaints regarding his height when Barca was looking forward to acquire him and so far, thanks God this was not an issue !

Much too soon to say such thing. But yes he's on the right path to be.

I'd like to see a race between him and c. ronaldo. I strongly believe he'll outrun ronaldo

C.Ronaldo is faster over long distances, but Alba might outrun him in a 20-30m race.

Easily. Ronaldo takes longer strides and has a very trained and refined type of sprint but Alba bombs up with such natural and unbelievable speed. Plus he has far more acceleration

 

[UEFA_Barça_Chris]

Incredible player.

 

[desoe]

So, if I get it right - Jordi is more like Yohan Blake with his better start and Ronaldo is more like Usain Bolt with getting the edge in the last 50 metres

 

[Andrew M]

What is fantastic about Jordi is that he does make mistakes, but his pace gets him out of trouble. To be a Barca defender you better be quick

 

[FCBarca]

Pace is a great difference maker as it's the sort of physical trait that demoralizes the opponent as well...Fortunately, Alba has more than just terrific acceleration

Happy birthday Jordi!

 

[BigBarcaBoy]

Happy birthday big man

Alba paid for all our transfers this season. Big spirit in a tiny body. Per molts anys, Jordi!

That goal against Milan alone was worth twice what we paid for him.
