18 - Gerard Maldini

[Zynaro]

Interesting player. Humble, hardworking and ready to learn. I guess that is one of the reasons why Flick values him. Still very much raw, but might have a good playing career if he continues to develop.

Gerard Maldini fools 100m players, if he decides to get serious

How does everyone rate him as CB?

Compared to:-
-Marc Marmol
-Marc Bartra
-Current day Konate @Temptation
-Serie A left winger Mikayil Faye @jamrock

He's like a cross between Titus Bramble and Winston Bogarde

 

[Gnidrologist]

Looks more like Humphry Bogard.

He has done a good job and is mentally very strong the way he plays in top games.. for most part.

Above all it shows what a LCB that can pass ball out brings.

Inigo could and it helps massively.

Badly need to address that.

Some weeks ago I watched a podcast with Andy Bara, Faye's agent and he totally lost faith in Faye because he is so unprofessional. His own agent is so fed up with him that he said in the media that it's impossible for him to have a career because of the way he is. All talent but no brain. It was the right decision to get rid of him.

I think the Lenglet comparisons can be fitting. The question is, can he avoid the mental mistakes that eventually crippled Lenglet on the biggest stage when he is called upon? Time will tell, I guess.

If so, he can be very useful as an LCB, like Mathieu during the Lucho era.

 

[Windhook]

As Jammy said, Martin is mentally strong. No matter what Barca forum or social media you're part of, Martin was crucified last season by fans everywhere.

This shift to LCB might be genius move by Flick or complete bust. Time will tell, so far it's promising.

It's genius move regardless

He managed to make a great squad player out of this guy. He now can be used at CB and LB

If he chokes in some big game which is very possible I hope people don't blame it on Flick for moving him to LCB. I don't think he would if he had other options
