Paco Alcácer

[Aryagorn]

Hope Paco values spending those 20 minutes on pitch in the service of GOAT higher than playing regularly

 

[Barcaman]

He is useful but will never be a #9 that we need or to offer something new. Would rather we had a player that can play back to the goal and occupy defenders if we can't get a quality player or one with high potential.

Would wager Paulinho making more impact by playing as CF.

I dunno. Paulinho's only skill as an attacker is that of a poacher. Paco is leagues above him in terms of movement, passing, and dribbling, and I don't even like Paco.

Paco is good this season. I wanted him gone, to be honest before the season but he's improvred. Started showing linkup game, even created a great chance for Messi(?). Glad to have him as a sub.

He's not here to be a starter though. He was brought it to be a back up to Suarez and he's okay with that.

Exactly. The perfect man for the job. I don't think you're going to find a much better backup for Suarez in the market.

It's really annoying that people expect him to have a starter quality and every single one of our bench players like Digne and Semedo. I mean duhh that's obviously the reason why they are back up players and are on our bench most of the time.

 

[RMU ReBorn]

Such a good squad player with his improved performance over the past few months

Semedo is not supposed to be a backup player.

Problem with Paco is that you don't pay 30m for a player to sit on the bench.

You already have clubs with 40m+ players sitting on the bench on a weekly basis... 30m for a young striker with a lot of valuable La Liga experience willing to come off the bench isn't a bad deal.

You mean... you still find 30m expensive for a back up player? Seriously? So basically, you expect Paco to be a starter ahead of Suarez since we paid 30m for him? You lost the plot right there.

What he means is Paco will never be anything but a backup. He wasn't signed based on his potential, he was signed to fill a role any 5-10m signing could fill. By the time Suarez is no longer ready to start we won't be looking to Paco to fill that void, we'll be looking to find a legitimate replacement.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

30 million is backup player these days or older more proven player like Giroud. Pacos price is just fine. He's been quite good this season.

 

[Mitchell1978]

I don't get why started only to play on the wing/as a midfielder.

 

[Barcaman]

Rakitic adapted to defensive role, Roberto to RB, Busi at double pivot. Digne at cb. Paco is a squad player and needs to adapt. Besides, I saw him in forward areas more than few times.
