If 20 games with 60 min is realistic, we could have signed Dembele with exactly that argument! That is a decent amount of playingtime.

I have hopes he might turn out to be a decent backup. I wouldn't play him with Paco at the same time though.

Apparently has a similar clause like Thiago's.

If he doesn't play at least 60 minutes in 20 games, his buyout drops low.

Would be quite an achievement to lose money out on him too :lol:


This clause is not really important as he only has a contract until 2019. If he'll play good next season then he'll probably earn enough minutes for his clause not to drop and we could sell him for good or renew his contract, if he'll play like a shit then nobody will want to pay anything for him anyway so clause again won't be important as we'll probably have to loan him out.

But in any case I really doubt his clause would drop under 12M that we paid for him.

very uninspiring 'signing'..he basically another denis suarez. he's very technically proficient and has a great touch but little production... he won't make us a better team

He does make us a better team. He's the first backup winger we've had since Pedro.

The only hope is that he can stretch the front line as can be dangerous in one on one situations so teams might not want to leave him free. Which in turn opens up more room for Messi, Suarez and Neymar.

Probably fuck up 9/10 and infuriate MSN at times but his perceived threat, pace and ability to go by players MIGHT be a benefit to open game up.

sure, he's an improvement, to the extent that with him in the squad we can rest our main forwards. but that's hardly sufficient to take us to the CL final. it's an unambitious signing

Yeah it is. Our main forwards are always drop dead tired from having to start every game no matter the level of difficulty. And we also fail to win smaller games because of this tiredness as well, or at least it plays a major factor. If we had even one competent backup for MSN last season we could have probably won La Liga just by virtue of winning the games we should have won.

It's not really about being tired. Compared to others, they play not that more. Problem is msn are always starters, they want to play as much as possible. Others know this so everyone who can join a smaller club to play more they would choose them. It's very difficult to found someone great who is ok with not playing that much.

World cup year could change that
