Martin Braithwaite

I would rather Barca sign a 9 in January or just go back to Griezmann as cannot be as bad as Braithwaite if play there every game and told just to try and get inbetween centre backs.

Failing that Fati would be better as well.

Braithwaite is awful and doesnt hold off defenders. He loses the ball far too often, doenst know how to position himself to receive it and is about worst finisher in the team.

Hold his position to find tap in so often he gets 1/2 chances a game when Barca camped in opposition half.

Cant run in behind, cant get chances in box, cant link up and cant finish. Apart from that... he runs a lot.

I don't think anyone is suggesting we have Briathwate over a signing. Also, Greizman has been tried at CF and yes he was actually worse. Not least because he REFUSES to play there and stick to his position. I have no problem putting Greizman there if he understands what a 9 is supposed to do and acts like it, but the moron keeps dropping deep to "playmake" the useless fucking clown - breaking our shape and us having nobody to attack any crosses in. Fati is injured so it's a moot point.

Braithwaite holds off defenders better than anyone else that can play there right now ala Greizman. The fact that he's not getting service isn't his fault. He's making the runs and if the players are unable to penetrate a ball through to him that's not on him.

Griezmann has been shockingly bad and he would be lucky to get a chance at CF if not for someone as poor as Braithwaite.

The difference is he has been a player at a high level, has shown he can finish as a forward.

Would rather try to get him working as bigger upside than Braithwaite who just doesnt have it at all and never has his whole career.

Brawithaite doesnt hold off defenders. They win duals easily with him vast majority of time nor does he have a clue how to position himself to receive ball to try and hold up in first place.

The old 'people dont pass to him' excuse is the usual last resort for players who dont have a clue how to connect and its the latest for Braithwaite.

It's quite simple why Jamdav loves to moan about him. He never likes to be proven wrong and before he played a single minute under Koeman he arrogantly claimed this :

That's why you will barely see Jamdav in the Griez thread but only on this one.

JamDav doing the thing where he thinks he'd do the same or better than Braithwaite at CF and is secretly angry he didn't get the chance to ;)

Not even sure what that means but Braithwaite is an awful footballer for this level and has been his whole career.

Would rather sign a CF in January or try Griezmann/Fati there and Griezmann is lucky as doesnt deserve it just that Braithwaite is so terrible.

Anyone thinking Braithwaite is proving folk wrong that dont rate him feel free.

It's just comical at this point.

Griezmann : 5 goals 2 assists in 1330 minutes
Braithwaite : 5 goals 2 assists in 940 minutes

Griezmann : 120 mil
Braithwaite: 18 mil

Keep happy clapping and believing he is a 'valuable player'.

He is atrocious and cant play CF even at SPL/Championship. Thats his level.

From claiming 'this guy is good for his position' to 'None of his supporters have ever said he is good for his position'.....
He is doing what he is supposed to do and is doing this simple job better than two of our marquee signings. Your random hissy fits about how he's not on teh glorious Barca level are absolutely unvarranted at this point. Barca level is being lucky to win at Getafe. With Braithwaite we he have better cances than with griez or cout. That's the crux of it. Moaning at sky how he's not great player is just temper tantrum. Everybody knows he's subpar, genius.

No he is doing next to nothing that would expect of a CF.

He is so far off Barca level he is not even top SPL or Championship level.

You now claim he is 'sub par' when previously called him a 'good for his position'. Nice backtracking genius.

I would rather sign a Depay, give Griezmann another shot at CF despite fact not earned it but due to how poor Braithwaite is or play Fati there when back.

Suddenly 'everyone knows' he is shit... quite the change to argument to when he folk try to make out otherwise.

Telling.

Why do you make things up again? There's not change to argument. People, who supporred B, including me, were making an argument that he as a 9 is better for current Barca than playing with 4 AMs at front. He actually exceeded my expectations thanks to tactical improvement in our play thanks to his presence. Some fine goals were nice bonus.
You and some other are continuing screeching at him as if he is placed there, while sacrificing somneone, who would be better in this frontline at his given moment.

Not making anything up. You call him 'valuable' and 'good at his position' then claim everyone knows he is sub par and no one thinks he is good. If cant keep up with own posts dont blame me.

Are you autistic and can only comprehend setences word by word, without getting their whole meaning? Either that or arguing in bad faith (again).
He IS 'valuable' and 'good at his position' at current moment. Despite the fact hat he is subpar and everyone understands that. No conrtradiction, man. There's no counter argument to that, not coming from you anyway. Get someone better and then we talk.
(in before - but you don't want Derpay so you believe Braith is teh great)
