Jordi Alba

[LeeRomeno]

Personality wise he was always very annoying player and one of very few I was ashamed to wear Barcelona shirt (play-acting in games, whining etc).
Game-wise he fit us perfectly and was the most lethal combo (with Messi) after Alves was shipped out.
But as many have stated before, he is weak mentally, similar issue with majority of our amigos it appears. Has not been that great since that Anfield game. As Koeman prefers more defensive minded FBs, i do not see how he would fit into that role.
As he is one of the very few amigos we could get some decent amount of money for, i would say sell. His value will start dropping heavily now.

Imo Koeman wants to ditch him not because he is a liability (he is a decent LB still) but because he's so toxic and a crybaby. I would not want to work with this guy too.

That's what I think too. Weak mentality. He should have been sold after Liverpool humiliation, not because of the mistakes he made but because he was falling apart and crying in the dressing room just before the second half.

This guys is damaged goods, it's not about his football ability anymore, he is mentally broken... He is not only short in height but also on intelligence...

 

[Marshall D Teach]

Funny how the CL thrashings started as soon as he came.

Mental weakness is contagious.

Maybe we can do another trade with Juventus. Seems they want to ditch Alex Sandro, we can ditch him there.

Only need to find a driver for the cry baby, because he can?t drive.

 

[DonAK]

Could Alex Telles be a decent short-term solution replacement?

Jordi Alba will be told he isn't needed for next season. The club want to sign a left-back this summer and unlike in previous seasons, this time it will be a new starting left-back. [sport]

 

[vuji_31]

I would take Angelino or Estupinian

 

[Vilarrubi]

Koeman and Alba spoke three days ago and the coach told the left-back that he counts on him, but that he wants to see his best version. [via md]

Here we go lads. Expect similar reports for most of the amigos. Til we only end up selling 1 or 2.

 

[HanDW]

What do you expect lmao ?, he is impossible to get rid with his current contract (might be the worst in sports history).

I've never expected him to leave.

As I've said before I'm ok if we offload Suarez, bench Busi (those two are our biggest liabilities on the pitch imo) and get a good competition for Alba and Pique so they won't be unquestionable starters anymore. This is the most we can do in a short offseason.

He probably cried when Koeman said he?s not good enough so he let him stay out of pity

What about Raki and Vidal? Surely they will go too.

 

[Messi983]

They probably will but I'm not really counting them amongst the amigos or unquestionable starters we should desperately get rid of.
