Sergi Roberto

[Behrox]

Never stopped believing in Sergi and he is finally coming through as the ultimate utility player.

Common sergi you can do it. Hope he develops into a great player. He can play any midfield position now he is adding defense to the list. I remember him playing false nine once too. These are the kind of players a club needs. At least 1 or 2.

 

[Darko]

You could say I'm not his biggest fan but he is incredibly decent at RB, his crosses were a real danger to the opposition!
He still sucks at CM though, offered nothing when he played there.

 

[Flavia]

Best available reserve for alves, until aleix can play.

 

[Bran the Greenseer]

Given to Sergi's performances as RB, I'm starting to believe that it was unnecessary for us to bring in Vidal (who's too good for the bench IMO).

Vidal can play as a forward too though so especially with Pedro's departure seeming likely.

I'm aware that Vidal has played as winger in the midfield at Sevilla but not upfront.

He played there for spain, but even with Roberto finding new life in the roll I suspect Vidal will be our starting RB come next season as Alves begins to wind down.

I wonder how good Roberto could be at LB. it's time to give it a shot

The new Luis Enrique & Phillip Cocu, Mr Versatile

 

[Gasgas]

do you guys think he can start ahead of vidal?

It is interesting situation ,both are very versatile and can play in other positions and quit frankly RB isn't their natural position .Sample size for both at RB is still very small
It could happen ,Vidal could be then used as Pedro replacement as the only true winger for our attacking frontline .or Roberto just stick to midfield

 

[El Flaco]

He played as a defender against Costa Rica in his only cap for Spain.

I wouldn't really streach out and say Alves begins to wind down because he was actually very good, at least in the second half of the precious season. Don't be surprise if he actually can do some few more good seasons.

Unless he'll become absolutely elite RB, no. Our midfield will be much thinner, than RB post winter break,so he'll likely play there.

 

[Butaan4barca]

imagine he goes down in history to have redefined the rb role.

I specifically remember him playing upfront if only for the 10 or so mins I remember him playing for spain he might've changed roles but ik I saw him playing there, but then again maybe I was mistaken.

And if Alves continues his form that'd be best but having a seasoned RB who knows what he's coming into and his role is still good.
