Just paving way for Perez to get promoted and leaving further room for Fati as well.
Don't be daft.
Perez is a talentless player. Comparing him to Pedro is a disgrace of mammoth proportions. A goal and a few assists doesn't change that. Deulofeu also had some nice stats in the first few weeks of the 17-18 season. He ended up regressing to his mean and was shipped out in January. Hard worker and some decent link up play, nothing more in his locker.
Fati on the other hand has real potential, but is 16 for feck sake. He will be ruined if he is kept up here only to rot in the reserves. Don't mind him getting some minutes in the cup or dead rubber matches though. Barca B is right for him at this moment.
Dembele?
Griezmann will need time to adapt.
Messi and Suarez are still the players our attack is built around. Messi is Messi and Suarez is the physical 9 in the box and finisher.
