3 - Alejandro Balde

[Rassvet]

Forum de amigos tried to put him in conversations with Mendes

 

[Obiaseti]

He had a great run but still hasn't found his form. Hard to justify his selection over Gerard when he isn't having a big impact offensively either.

 

[M3ls]

Where did this guy's speed go?

 

[MonteCuler]

. Hard to justify his selection over Gerard

I don't think it's that hard

Gerard is horrible offensively and defensively. But he rarely gets the criticism even when he fucks up because we know guy should not even be there. He just has a big body but is incredibly slow and weak

Lol I'm not sure Martin is slower than the current Balde.

Wild exaggeration or a joke, I don't know what this is

But Martin is supposed to be in third division. He has no business at this level of football. People relying on him as some actually good footballer now is ridiculous

I can't get my head around this guy.

He's not really that fast anymore
He doesn't concentrate or have a particularly high IQ
He still crosses like shit or makes poor choices around the box in an attacking sense
He can't shoot
He's susceptible to being oddly beaten in 1v1s

I just didn't think we'd be here, I'm not sure if this guy is going to be what I expected for us anymore.
Problem is, the other RB is exactly the same.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

What happened?

It's like every single Barca player forgot how to run fast

 

[Devils]

I genuinely can’t see what this guy is good at.

I knew Jordi Alba was a pretty average defender but a very good attacking fullback through his top level career.

What is this guy supposed to be good at? He offers nothing defensively, offensively or creatively.

Just a nothing player. Ironically, Kounde is the exact same on the other end of the field.

These players would either be depth players or shipped out and replaced with better players at other top clubs.

Yet here we are tortured watching these players play every game week ina a week out for years on end.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Amazing I've been saying this about our fbs for years and no one here believed me.

 

[Barcaman]

Where did this guy's speed go?

He has these bursts of speed but when you compare nowhere near the ability of Alba who would replicate his runs countless times. And this is Balde's best weapon.
Not nearly enough.

 

[Masetro10]

Yeah this guy I may sound insane actually makes us worse than Gerard Martin. Who is ass by the way. Balde literally cannot cross. Cannot run back on defense. Elects to stay up the field though. Pretty much never actually develop any chemistry with Rashford. What does Balde do??

You were ahead of the curve i'm a believer now

He gained some muscles in order to prevent injuries, same as Olmo. However, during the process he lost part of his speed and now he is still injury prone but also slow.
