Mikayil Faye

[FCBarca]

How is it a myth? Is there a bigger leader in the history of the club than Pep? He has said it repeatedly never mind he actually captained at every category he played at Barca. Sounds like you want to bend the narrative to suit your perspective vs facts

Chadi will be sold and to claim superiority is nonsensical, Girona‘s success this year is a testament to that. Martinez is on high wages and has been exposed as 4th in the depth chart - I’d take one of our own any day of the week. No one has purported he should be starting but surely in the depth chart and as Pep has said, he will become Barcelona captain sooner or later. No myth, reality

Jules is a great defender but his FFP impact means a sale makes sense

Faye is a great option but FFP will likely mean the need to profit in his sale which is likely to bring in more than Eric would anyway. Personally, I would prefer Faye as a hybrid LB/CB like Jules was used on right side

Pep heaped praise on Ferran and Gabriel Jesus as well, doesn't mean they're world beaters.

Girona want Romeu back. Eric's CB partner over there is freaking Blind. Them appreciating Eric means very little.

As been said, now is the perfect time to sell Eric. Especially since CB is pretty well covered with both experience and up-and-coming talents. Just another Bartra.

Bartra has actually shown more here than Eric.

E: Just saw that @khaled_a_d already said the same.

 

[khaled_a_d]

You are seriously basing your "leadership " argument on him being captain of our U-15 team 7 years ago?
I can't counter argument with such logic tbh

Will be called up for Senegal NT and most likely miss promotion playoffs semi final.

Pretty big blow with Mbacke also out for season already.

 

[jamrock]

Damn,we would drop back cubarsi if that's the case

You can't tell it from the Catalan feed, but the Riazor is banging like a LaLiga game.

Faye already has a yellow after 5", but shouldn't have been given. Going to be a tough game for him now.

Good, hopefully this will mean another play-off loss to us. Which is ultimately the best outcome for our B team.

We need the 6m from LaLiga to promote with Xavi missing out on SuperCopa

Official now...

That's good. Would be great if he can establish himself as a starter, imagine what that would do to his market value, kinda like how those WC goals for Mina were a huge boost.

Well deserved.

I want him to succeed here so don't really care about improving value and would prefer if BA could count on him in playoffs.

Personally really like the job Rafa has done with BA and now that he won't get first team job I think the only chance for him to stay is if BA gets promoted. He won't stay another year at Primera RFEF level knowing it's almost impossible Flick won't survived full season so he could potentially get a chance in first team.

 

[ZenI]

I still think we should try him on DM in pre-season. It might work... I mean his defending is good, positional play not bad, he has some football IQ, great passing etc - sure it doesn't always translate to being an alright DM, but he would be something like Mascherano if he practices the position.

 

[Gazzznigga]

I think he should leave. If Barca prefers promoting ball playing but weak, non athletic and positionally unaware central defenders over him all in the name of tiki taka that have been bypassed many years gone, and more because they are catalan, then, there is no future for him here.
He will soon be 20, he should scram without looking back.

 

[Andresito]

He'll play some games with Senegal in the coming days but otherwise he'll be one of the few CB's available at the start of pre-season. He'll have plenty of chances as starter while Araujo, Kounde, Cubarsi are away with their NTs.
