Kevin-Prince Boateng

Why!

 

[Barcaman]

Doesn't play a minute in months and then people expect him to show up.

 

[Hamzah]

Yeah, as crap as he was, being a striker at Barca is hard at the best of times. Especially when you don't play much and the game was with mostly backups and youth players.

Kinda true, others gets the excuse of playing with Young players without connection to each other.

 

[raskolnikov]

Whats the point of him though? You are telling me we dont have a youth striker better suited to take minutes than give them to a glorified tourist with no input.

 

[El MeSSiaS]

Useless transfer why no put the B team striker and get him win experience

 

[God Serena]

When Prince is signed it's: We need a backup striker who is happy to sit on the bench 80-90% of the time and can help rest Suarez whenever needed, Prince is perfect.

People think of a Larsson type player in that scenario not a guy who afds nothing and could be replaced by anyone though.

I think both statements regarding him are extraordinarily stupid for this very reason. If he adds nothing, his ability to rest Suarez is pointless.

 

[PhilS]

It would be better to put someone out there to play out of position. I've seem enough of Prince with his warmups off, now he can rest and collect trophies.

Exactly, the idea of signing any player with sole intention to rest another doesn't make any sense...

Larsson, or Solskjaer for United, were reliable when coming off the bench or when rotations were needed, they weren't there just to give rest to others... Might as well create a contest for the fans to be a Barca player for a day...

 

[Messi983]

He didn't play for months, his confidence is low. Stupid Valverde.

 

[Barcaman]

Don't you agree he could've played more in recent months?

Valverde is notorious for lack of rotation and then when he does, he throws players in the fire with no match rhythm and sides them with players they never played with. And then, of course, under-performers are thrown under the bus and lack of rotation gets validated.

Yes, he could though I think he did a good job rotating players in January and February. I like Prince and think he should've played more.

 

[MTL_Barca]

Let's not pretend lack of minutes is the reason he is performing bad. He never had and never will have the quality to play as a forward for barca. Everyone knew that and it was proven every time he played for us this far.
