They're talking about the last five goals we conceded from outside the box. The first of those could be back in November for all we know. It's a stat used almost entirely to support a negative narrative towards the player, especially when they'll use the seemingly random sample size of six, just...

Is this because he stays off of his line? Is every one of those an instance of him being lobbed from distance as a result of coming too far out of his area? I really don't see how such a stat is really relevant.

What I find odd is how every single neutral fan I speak to about that goal thinks it was a goal of the season nominee and that it was just a fucking beautiful strike, yet in here all I'm seeing is a downpour of hatred at the keeper for conceding it. Have some perspective, people.

Perhaps it isn't an issue of Lucho preferring Gumbau. Whenever Samper is called up to the first team he usually plays in some capacity. For all the time Gumbau has been with the first team, he hasn't even gotten a sniff of first team minutes. Perhaps Lucho just wanted Samper to get minutes with...

Gumbau is a hard worker? That's almost as shocking as hearing he's a technical wizkid.

Would that mean we'll have to pretend he's La Masia in a few years when he makes it?

Not among our top 12-13 most important players? He's our only RB. I'd say that makes him at least top 11.

Aside from the goal he wasn't really tested but that's fairly typical for a goalkeeper manning the posts for us, whether it's Bravo or Mats.

A Suarez Neymar and Rafinha front line still looks pretty damn solid imo. Messi's position has always been Rafinha's best imo.

You're all cules in disguise. Keep booing your own players, it makes us stronger.

He's been living here since he was 7, I find it impossible to imagine he's somehow an illegal player. We might as well have Iniesta and Messi banned too.

Would be a shame to see him go but a player of his kind doesn't seem to have a place in the first team, which is where he belongs. He can fill multiple roles quite well.

Expecting a solid cameo from him against Atletico. He's essentially taken Pedro's role on the team now.

You can't loan players out when the transfer window isn't open. Although in Fifa you'll be able to sign free agents. :)

It's not that I don't trust ter Stegen to step up, as he's obviously able to handle big games in goal (As he did all of last season), but this luck with injuries is worrisome. Mats obviously won't get the same opportunity to be #1 that Bravo had as he's not Lucho's signing but this could be a...

Varane is overrated because of a few good games several seasons ago in a season where Madrid didn't even win any major trophies. Don't get why everyone thinks he's so great. He's costed Madrid far more than Bartra has costed us.

I suppose you're missing how most of us are saying "If true".

Quinti and Rodri both are probably the most likely defenders to be anything for Barca one day. They are great defensively.

This post seems rather hypocritical when coming from the same guy who refuses to comment on Gumbau seemingly being favored by Lucho when discussing the situation with Sergi Samper. I get that you rated Adama as one of the B team's best players last season despite your criticisms against him...

If this were to happen we'd probably be better off just selling him and hoping another solid keeper falls into our lap when Bravo declines.
