Is De Jong also missing?
He is available. We'll either see him at DM with Puig/Sanz stepping in, or Jandro at DM as a sub.
Is De Jong also missing?
Is Jandro actually good, or overhyped simply because of La Masia?
Watched him a few times, he looked pretty average with the ball (safe passes), and pretty weak physically
He was hyped af for a few years by La Masia twitter merchants. Tidy on the ball, but very weak physically. There are reports that he put on 4 kg of muscle mass since September to make it in top-flight football. He will be 22 in August so a bottom LL team is probably his ceiling.
I hate that we have to waste time with these players just because others from the same academy turned out good. Talent is undeniable, Gavi and Fati at 16 were with the 1st team.
We will probably miss out on signing a defensive midfielder and count on him as Busquets possible replacement and substitute next season, get humiliated again in CL, then he'll go on loan to Granada or some shit..and we'd be in 2023 still wih 45 yo Busquets as our starter
IDK mate, Gavi and Ansu are playing because they are cracks. Nico is solid too. Moriba was seeing gametime for the same reason last season, there is potential even if he is stupid. When we see talent, we give them playing time. I would say we hadn't given a fair chance to Cucurella or Grimaldo, for example. The previous DM darlings in Samper and Oriol barely saw the pitch (rightfully so). Puig is barely playing too.
It took everyone being out for Xavi to call up Jandro. He should be gone next season. Barca B didn't even extend him, we signed him back in September as a free agent because of injuries and lack of depth if memory serves me right.
Is that a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 with Ferran Torres as AM?
