Ive not seen enough of Samper to judge, well ive seen games but hes never really impressed me, does the simple things well. at the moment hes a Myth, no evidence that he should start games for barcelona
Because everyone knows, if he's not a starter tomorrow he's not Barca material.
Best to loan him out to a La Liga club and see if hes good enough.
And ignore the fact that he's learning to play as CM after playing CDM for years.
Let's just stick him into a La Liga team and hope for the best? Halilovic was our best loan since forever, what makes you think that we'll be able to send him to a proper team for his development?
If we loan him:
1. maybe we will be lucky and he will turn into a great player while on loan
2. or maybe he will fail, get only some minutes, play in the wrong team, play on the wrong position/wrong system while on loan
So, a loan can either improve him a lot or ruin him.
On the other hand, if he stays here and doesn't get loaned, he has very, very small chances to turn into a Barca's level of a midfielder.
In a Bteam he can't improve/learn too much anymore.
In Ateam, he won't get too much minutes in upcoming seasons.
So, a loan doesn't guarantee anything.
But at least it offers some possiblities.
Currently, with staying at Barca, he is "frozen" in time and he isn't improving too much.
Said who?
And anyway ,he has promotion clause and winter transfer is closed .so he will be Barca B player until the end of the season
Whether we loan or keep him is up to Lucho
Who said he should be starting games for us now? He has the talent to do so in the future.
I meant in general, in future, not only this season.
He won't get too much minutes this season, and surely he won't get more minutes next Season with Iniesta, Rakitic, Arda, (Pogba or who knows which player??), Roberto, Rafinha, (Suarez??) etc.
Imo, loaning is his only chance.
Of course, there is always a chance that he will "explode" in Ateam, but imo, he has much higher chance to turn into Bartra if he stays here and remains xxth or the last choice for a midfield position.
Hes 21 years of age now, cant keep saying the future. he be 33 and you be still saying hes one for the future, Football is a short career
He was very, very bad today. Lost the ball cheaply in bad positions and led to counters twice, maybe even three times from what I remember. Generally sloppy. Very disappointed.
