I am also worried about that or even worse Lenglet or Roberto as LB
What does “he will be called when needed” even mean? So he’ll basically only play when Alba is rested and if he gets injured during the game Miranda won’t be there to cover for him since you can’t anticipate that.
So he will be Alba's backup next season and Cucu will go on loan? Doesn't this mean that Miranda will be on bench every game in case Alba gets injured?
He'll be with Barca B unless Valverde plans on using him. If Alba gets injured mid-game we just so happen to have not one, not two, but three CBs who are left footed, so it should be fine.
Semedo can play there if needed.
Or we bet on La Masia or we dont.
Miranda is gonna be a star. Same goes for Wague.
Miranda riding the bench just in case Alba gets injured isn't betting on La Masia, it's halting his development. He'll be fine being called up for the easier games that Digne would normally have played.
I honestly don't expect Wague to even make the first team. World Cup hype is very powerful, but in the end it means nothing.
I don’t think he will develop much while playing in a third tier competition. Too bad they got relegated, segunda is way more serious competition. I really hope Valverde will use him more than Digne was used last season.
This is much better than promoting him. Playing 25-30 games for Barça B and 10-15 games for the first team would be ideal.
Still sad about Cucu leaving without getting a first team chance though.

Cucu deserved to be called yesterday. He also should have trained with the first team instead of Miranda the past week. It is not about his quality, it is just how you say thank you for staying despite receiving offers.
Look at history, players has always developed way better in 3rd division than 2nd division in all Spanish clubs. B teams in 2nd division always meant a less development.
Segunda is an awful league for reserve teams, players who develop there are usually with 1st teams not B teams.
