Sergi Roberto I'll agree that he has a tendency to get bypassed. But I think it gets over exaggerated especially in a match like this where the whole midfield was pretty anonymous in the first half. I mean if iniesta couldn't get the attack to make the proper runs, how do you expect sergi to...

All la masia products who make the jump are hype atleast in my recent memory, and the dearth of cm talent is probably what adds to it. I have a wait and see policy though, I trust that the best players will be given their chances and picked and if it's rafinha, sergi or samper i would be happy...

There's a difference between saying he's not good enough, and waiting till he makes one bad pass to pounce( also disappearing whenever he does something good) which is what some people here do. But yes he's not good enough yet, which is why we bought rakitic. I doubt he'll go on loan though...

Captain iniesta

Sergi in cm and rafinha in cf, hope rafinha isn't stuck playing Messi's understudy this season, since he's a great midfielder.

With Adama, Deulofeu, Munir and Seong woo Lee all vying for the forward three positions I think he'll stick to the midfield.

Maybe it seems the perfect narratives never work for Barca though, cesc got sold after wearing the 4, thiago never got the 6 or 4. If it continues like this sergi Roberto will get the 6 and bartra will end up with 7 or 8 :lol:

I hope it was something like him not wanting it till he was a starter or something cause it kinda messes up the narrative busi should've gotten 6 and bartra 5

If he was and had the same ability as messi he'd be the greatest player of all time.

But then what about bartra, puyol went from telling him to take the 5 a year ago to giving it to busi.

Rafinha will probably be the one to adapt when lucho was Celta coach last year he said he sees rafinha's best position as a deep-lying playmaker that can make runs/passes from the cm role. Halilovic seems like Messi-type skills with iniesta positioning to me.

The way the players are talking halilovic is just in the b team for constant play while he slowly breaks into the main squad

That was a surprise but I'm guessing he thinks giving it to bartra is too soon

The fact that Munir was kept for the pre season training camp AND got more playing time in the first game than Dongou already shows who Lucho thinks is better. Its up to him to turn it around.

You think he plays like zidane?

Deulofeu is 6ft, and rafinha 5 10? Wow I always assume everyone in la masia is just insanely short, no wonder rafinha is good with his head.

He can shoot from the right with his right, but it's always some spectacular shot nobody ever tries in top flight football, for him to be a consistent goal scorer from the right he needs to get a nice curler on his left. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah for pre season I mean, since neymar, messi and Suarez aren't back yet, he has a a nice chance to strut this stuff for lucho. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good news for Munir is that theres no real CF in the first team yet, unless you count Rafinha or Roberto who can play false 9.

Cause he'll get the number 15, 5 is for Bartra :troll:
