It's fucking strange some people can't criticize the fat guy for anything.
1. Alienated the biggest player in history of this club and this game
2. Keeps on outright lying and pawning the family jewels for immediate comfort for years now.
3. You will yet to see how much his pet project will...
As Stig said, selling a true cule to register that overpaid English bum is a terrible idea.
Pedri, Frenkie, Gavi, Bernal all had injury issues so who do we rely on when shit hits the fan again. Christensen and Eric as pivots?
Some people have dismissed Fort but for me sample size of matches is too small and let's not forget he's only 18.
A loan would benefit him as chances for him to play here are slim.
Problem with Balde is: he looked best or at least same, in his breakout season when he was 17. We'll see this season. At least he doesn't get to socialize with his best pal Fati no more.
Said that team is stronger than last season and that he is eyeing an important role. Like his optimism.
I am not a fan of his but he's still fairly young (25) so, normally, yet to see his prime.
Shot stopping will not be subject of question.
High balls - haven't seen much of actions warranting his interventions
Rushing out - so far positive stuff. Important for our high line.
Technique/ball distribution - OK. Sample too small yet though.
On the sidenote, Frenkie could be standing by Stegen because he himself was subject to smear campaign from some of the media. I succumbed to it as well but admit I was wrong.
Said I won't read anything into these friendlies but Balde again looked off. Bad decision making and channeling himself into lanes he can't get out of because of his dead right leg.
Shame we dont have a proper backup. Jofre does not appear to be it but early days.
