Rumors about Aleña being loaned out next season? Naah fuck that, we need him, Rakitic, Arthur, Iniesta, Roberto, Coutinho and hopefully Eriksen. Coutinho is more like a winger anyway and Roberto can sometimes cover for Semedo so more space for Aleña. Hopefully a backup DM too to rest Busquets whether it will be Samper or a new signing. We should let our youngsters play in Barca so they can learn and improve.
Loans almost never works for us so why not let him play? Better to play 15 games for Barca than 30 games for small teams like Granada, Levante or Las Palmas. Playing with the ball all the time is better than almost never, especially in a system that doesn't fit our youngsters. Keeping possession and make decisions all the time is what fit our youngsters. Also they can learn from our best players. And by the way why should we loan Aleña when he can do a way better job than Denis, paulinho and Gomes? And what he has shown for the B team has been good. Could have been way better if he had a better coach so I'm Aleña in!!!
I'm not gonna say that Samper will bench Busquets in the future, but what Samper showed us in the pre season was incredible. Big difference between him in Las palmas/Granada and Barca. In Barca he is playing in a system that fits him and where he has the ball most of the time and make decisions. For me thats what fit our youngsters to improve and become better, not loaning them out. Andre Gomes is maybe ability wise better than Samper because of what he has done in Valencia, but Samper fits Barca more than him. Never seen a game where Gomes is playing calmy and good as what Samper did in the pre season. Deserve a new chance for me. Same can I say about players like Thiago, Roberto, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and Pep. They would never have succeed if they played in a defensive system in teams like Granada. La masia players are born to play in the Barca system where they can keep the ball all the time and make decisions.
