This tendency to continuously loan La Masia players until thy leave for free is dumb. All we end up doing if funding their careers at other clubs. Either he's good enough or he is not.
It's a judgement based on whatever number of minutes he already played for Barcelona. That's all. Maybe he'll be great the rest of the year. I hope so.
Strikers are worth it and as far as strikers go, no one, a part from Messi and Ronaldo, has scored more than him in the last 8 years IIRC. The unbelievable thing is they managed to get him and still have change after selling an MC.
Alves gets to go for free, Bartra leaves for 8M and Barcelona must match any offer Villareal receives for Denis Suarez before July 1st. These contracts keep getting worse.
I don't understand why anyone wouldn't want to pay him the money he wants. I mean why not? Other than the fact you don't like his face? He sucked for a few months, so what? Who's better than him at his position? Who'd you replace him with? He'll be worth what he's worth right now for the next 3...
