35 - Gerard Martín

[DonAK]

I feel like I am constantly being gaslit when it comes to Gerard Martin over here.

He's not good enough, even as a backup. He's awful under pressure in possession, slow and weak defensively.

His crossing is great *when not* pressed.

We obviously have to live with what we have to, but if we have to rely on Gerard vs. a good team then it will be like playing with 10 men. He's not a La Masia graduate either so that angle doesn't work either so keeping him for sentimental reasons makes no sense too. Not that it ever would make sense.

As I said before, I would play 3 at the back than play Martin against any subpar UCL team.

I wouldn't even let him come close to Camp Nou...

They even said that Farre and Virgili impressed Flick, just for them to be taken out of the Asian tour.
Last year they even said it about Valle

Perhaps but as we know, Valle was never even played in his natural LB position under Flick but at RB - natural that a coach has players he prefers

Virgili, perhaps there was little chance for him in 1st team knowing both Roony & Rashford were being added leaving little if any minutes for Jan

Shame, I think many of us had high hopes for him but can’t begrudge a player for wanting to play and not languish in 4th division

Can this guy play as a LCB?

Thanks for giving Flick ideas, lol.

 

[draconifire]

So he is our new LCB since we be begging for one.

 

[Barcaman]

Inigo better watch for his place, Martin is coming.

 

[FCMessi]

G Martin a lot more shielded as a LCB.

 

[Behrox]

Martin from accounting gonna start his Puyol arc

 

[Masetro10]

Watch Martin shock the world
