FC Barcelona No incorporation of the last two years makes a difference
El Barcelona accumulates two seasons without signings that make a difference. The making of the Barça squad, in transition, has not allowed the team to maintain the line of excellence demanded by culs fans. The youngest perform, but the club did not expect to carry the weight of the project on them. In addition, the delicate economic situation created by the coronavirus has not helped either.
The French is probably the clearest example of a striking signing that has not performed at the expected level. It cost 120 million, after a controversial transfer, and it has not been the reference in attack that the Barcelona. They have not helped the changes of position of the Frenchman in the field. In any case, Griezmann makes no difference.
The Dutchman was seen, by many, as the heir to the Bara DNA. A midfielder from the school Ajax that embodied all the virtues, on paper, of the best version of the Barça team. But it has not set. Nor has he done it with Koeman, who blindly trusts him. It cost 80 million euros.
His contribution on the left wing is practically testimonial. Jordi Alba’s dominance in the left-handed lane is overwhelming. The Barcelona I paid 18 million euros to have a replacement. Again, it was not an addition designed to make a quality leap to the squad.
The Portuguese attacker is a bet for the future. His incorporation, in exchange for 30 million, clearly responds to the desire to rejuvenate the squad and neither the club nor the coaching staff expect an immediate return from him. Even so, the Portuguese footballer has proven to be a common replacement for Koeman. It grows and gains gallons. The technician is satisfied with his work.
Six million cost the canary and he is being the new face that is best responding on the field of play. The footballer brings freshness and resources to the Barça attack and is one of the reasons to smile when watching the games of the Barcelona, without excessive joy in this course.
After the payment of 60 million to Juventus, the Bosnian midfielder has hardly had a leading role. Pjanic it has left flashes of quality, although its presence in the starting eleven has been reduced. With the injury of Busquets he earns points and has a chance to increase his weight in the spinal cord.
Gain minutes with the injury of Sergi Roberto. The American has left good feelings, but it is his first season in the Barcelona and must adapt. Koeman and the club trust him and the footballer, from the Ajax After paying 20 million, he wants to consolidate in LaLiga.
