BBZ being the ultimate opportunist as usual.
Malcom didn't play since november. I hope you knew that before starting to write your book.
You're talking about September and October, it's all good. Let's talk about August, do you remember that time when you were saying that Malcom is an alpha male who'll be better than Dembélé just by judging him on his physical appearance ?
Calm down kid.
I said that he looked like alpha and determined based on his body language and a few videos from his presentation and when he had the first dinner with his teammates.
I had no clue, like 90% of our forum about his actual footballing abilities, which sadly, seems to be nowhere good enough for Barca's level.
It doesn't change anything regarding my post about mentality that Dembele still looks and acts like a kid and that Malcom looked more mature and alpha.
But still, being alpha won't help if you aren't good enough.
Look, in pre-Pep Barca, around 60-70% of our signings for 15-20 years were fails.
So, on average 2 out of 3 players signed for us, didn't reach expectations.
During Pep, everything changed for a few years because we have hit a jackpot with a core: Busi, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi and we didn't need to buy AS much as in other eras.
And thus, even our transfer ratio of success improved since we needed less players and we were less desperate (unlike today with electoral signing Arda, panic buys Dembele and Coutinho, summer of 22 by Robert etc).
Now, after Pep, we are back to good old days where 60% of players are not good enough for us.
I know that you are from France and that you know more about Malcom than we do.
But still, probably around 0,1% of world's players are good enough for Barca.
The fact that Malcom is not among those rare guys is not a shame or an insult.
Also, this is Barca.
Remember my funny coins-theory.
You will get a certain amount of coins and chances.
Malcom, till now, didn't show too much and a number of his coins is getting close to zero.
A player like Dembele deserved more chances due to his insane talent.
A player like Malcom, with lesser talent, and with very weak performances will the most likely be sold already in a summer of 2019'.
That's not hating or anything.
Just a reality how hard is to make it at Barca.
How you won't get too many chances.
And how Barca needs to move on to new targets extremely fast.
