Allow me to clarify why I called it pathetic
You may think what you want but first and foremost I trust my gut feeling and my gut feeling is the same when as those times when we were singing Fabregas, Alexis Sanchez, Alex Song, Vermaelen, Ibrahimovic and a few others. Why do I get this feeling? Well, it may be due to the fact that I question his talent, I question his ability to fit in, I question his price, I question the way make transfers in general. We have no place for Cuadrados, Benatias and Umtitis, that's for sure. A young player who is playing great is Laporte. Umtiti is the same as Mangala, Zouma, etc. NOT good enough for Barca. But wait! there's more! I'm even against signing Marquinhos but at least he has a chance of making it at Barca. I just hope that if Umtiti fails (which he most probably will) our board will not force our coaches to play him so that they won't be embarrassed for making another idiotic transfer. I remember cursing those days when we played Fabregas when he absolutely shouldn't have played. I remember how people here wanted Cuadrado, Danilo, Benatia. Now it's the same for Umtiti. I'd rather have kept Bartra. and just what have you seen or heard about Umtiti that makes him such a prospect? youtube compilations? lyon games? yeah right. The mere fact that I hadn't heard of him before Barca showed interest is already alarming and that speaks for itself. I dont have anything against Umtiti but he's just not barca material. I'd pick Gimenez, Laporte, Marquinhos, Mustafi (not as young but still falls under the same category), Romagnoli, Stones over Umtiti and all of you would too, yet you somehow think that this is a good signing?!?! absolutely freaking not,especially for that price. I'd be slightly happier even with Sule or Rugani because at least I've heard about them, but this man?? no no and no! for the sake of Barca I hope he proves me wrong, I really hope, but I have a terrible feeling about this. So yeah basically my opinion is based on a gut feeling because even top or world class players find it difficult for Barca so you can't really judge by yesterday's experience as it won't matter tomorrow as he'll be a different player when playing for Barca. I hope I didn't sound aggressive or offending, it's just my personal opinion.
