Off course now that he is here he deserves his chances. But Imlegitimately fearing that a Fati-Messi-Trincao frontline as I have seen suggested wont go through CL group stages.
I have been reading loads of hype about this lad, but I recently found out he is a left-footed right winger. Leo might not be a RW in practice anymore, but in any 4-3-3 he is always going to start from that position. I doubt any coach is going to change our system to just to accommodate Trincao.
I can't see how how this signing turns out any different than Malcom's. A young lad brought in that prefers the right flank, but is shoehorned on to the left for a few matches were he inevitably disappoints and we never see of him again.
A left-footed player on the LW can work if he can beat his player on the byline and whip in crosses, but we don't play in the air. Not to mention Alba has usually occupied the left flank since Neymar left and our recent transfers have had to move more centrally to adapt to that.
Most transfers flop here as is, this one has many factors working against him. Or is there something I am missing about this player that makes people think he'll succeed here next season?
