Oh dear. Another game where he looks the odd man out. He's never played in such a high level team before and his frustration at not being able to handle the heat is evident.
How things change in football. A few months ago, everyone wanted Frenkie to be the sacrificial sale. But Olmo has quickly taken his place.
The fact of the matter is, Fermin has been the better player for a while now, and his signing really is looking like the misstep a lot of us thought it was.
He's simply not been worth all the registration hassle, especially not with Fermin lying in waiting.
He's not just good, he's the best attacking midfielder in the world now that KDB is slowing down to retirement.
I've accepted Olmo as he is. He will ALWAYS be injury prone. It would be much more of a problem if we didn't have Killer Fermin to fill in when Olmo is injured, or Raph, or Pedri, or Gavi ......
Pedri and Olmo should be two of the first name's on the team sheet. Both would walk in to any team in Europe. The 2nd pivot should be fought out between Ping Pong, Gavi and Casado.
I would personally go with Casado for now.
He's gone up one place in my list compared to Barca midfielders, just doing enough to nick above Torre.
1) Olmo
2) Pedri
3) Casado
4) Gavi
5) Bernal
6) Fermin
7) Bellingham
8) Torre.
9) PING PONG.
You have to give credit when it's due.
I would freak out if I saw them on the streetThese madlads just took some bicycles and drove through Barcelona's streets in the middle of the night to the hospital to visit Ferran
Imagine you're drunk as fuck coming from the disco and then Olmo, Pedri, Inigo and Garcia are driving by on bicycles. I'd promise myself to stop driking so much, if seeing such hallucinations.I would freak out if I saw them on the street![]()
Let's see a pre-season without injuries or registration issues. Olmo/Fermin are our 10s.
If next season isn't good, then can think about selling.
Or we sell both and buy Wirtz.
