oh please ....

bring him back and he would still suck like he did whenever he played for us.

Just because a player is doing well in a different league , doesn't mean we did a mistake by loaning him.

A player can be trash under a certain system , manager , club but still be a good player in a different environment.

All that i hope is that he does good enough so we can get some money for him. It's the best case for him and barca.

Yup. Proof that we play with no system, a shit manager and a bad environment.

Paco was always a decent striker. I mean when he played he delivered ok stats and he did good at Valencia too so it's not like he doesn't have quality.

I hope he has a good season at Dortmund and joins them or a team on a similar level next summer but i still think he shouldn't be at Barca and it's the right thing to sell him. Not only doesn't he fit our style naturally imo (even though we don't see much of that the last seasons...) he also never added anything coming from the bench. He's not strong/tall and confident enough for a plan B striker you bring on in a close match and doesn't add any other ability our attack might lack in a certain situation like speed, dribbling or whatever. Therefore he never got that many minutes because he could never realistically challenge Suarez and any attempts playing him anywhere outside the box where pretty horrible.

I don't think we need expensive players that are just there to play Copa and a la liga game here and there, its a waste of money and Munir isn't that much worse for that job.

Paco is good enough to be a starter for a team on Dortmunds level so its probably better for us and for him that he's not warming our bench any longer. Didn't really play because of his injury but i think he has a good chance to become a starter, Dortmund doesn't really have another 9 and Philipp isn't doing so great this far there.

As I said back in August:

Purchase option price should have been higher.

If he performs like a €20M player, Dortmund won't excercise the buy option.

If he performs better, then we're being ripped off. Especially considering it's not mandatory.

20M is too low.

Let´s be honest. We were glad that someone took him.

Now that he´s scoring it´s easy to talk. Does the clause is official? Wold Dortmund agree with the loan if the clause was 30 or more?

Let´s wait and see. Happy for Paco. Hope that Gomes performs well too.

6 months ago I believe most of this forum would have been ecstatic over getting 25m for him. I hope Barca takes the 25m when Dortmund decides they want to activate that clause, instead of trying to get him back to whore him out to some other teams for a bit more money.
