2017/18 Sandro Ramirez

[Barnfred 55]

Looking more likely that he will be off, you can’t blame him, he has not really been given a go here. The flip side of that is, we don’t know how he has been in training, might come accross as lazy, disinterested, etc.

There is still the story that Valencia want him, but only on loan, also a story that Barca May take him back as part of a deal seeing Paco Alcacer coming here. Alcacer wants to play as much as possible to get in the Spain squad for the World Cup

I can't see this tbh. Only because of what I've seen of him on the pitch. Yes he's been woeful, but I don't think he's lacked effort. If anything, I think he's been trying too hard. You could see in his face how much the goal against Atalanta meant to him.

That Alcacer shout is an interesting one. Don't want to see Sandro leave without being given a proper chance, but I like the look of Alcacer and think he would be effective in a counter attacking set up.

Having briefly lived in the UK, adjusting to driving on the opposite side of the road takes some time- more so if it’s manual drive

Mate how come all of your lot's La Masia products are all gash?

Thought Barcelona was meant to produce good quality footy players

Almost everytime I go abroad (except to UK) I have to hire a car and get used to this very quickly. I always feel that once I get through the first roundabout (turn RIGHT not left onto it) it is easy enough.

That is all well and good as long as you are not from Leitrim. There are very few roundabouts there.

In Argentina, the one driving the fastest has right of way. Unless it is a bus or a lorry.

He's a footballer mate so I don't see how he should be having nightmares about what side of the road to drive on. He's just got to show that he can trap that white round thing and slot and he will get on just fine here.

I can only imagine, there he is, making space for a run, waiting for the pass, the pass comes, but just as hes about to trap the ball hes thinking about that right turn hes gotta make into Tescos later for his big shop.

Poor lad.

Genuinely chuffed to bits when he signed. Having watched him in two or three games, I am seriously disappointed with him.

He appears bereft of confidence. The simplest of passes go astray, his ball control is appalling and he looks absolutely lost.

Sadly, I can’t see any way back for him.

Good assessment. Sounds like you given him plenty of opportunities to impress you.

Wasn't Ian Rush was regarded as a failure when he played for Juventus back in the 80s? Sometimes, good strikers do find it difficult to adapt to different playing styles. I won't be making a judgement on Sandro for this reason. Let's give him the time and space to acclimatise.

Can't help but think in a few months/years there will be shouts of "Remember we had Niasse leading the line and Sandro Ramirez couldn't even get in the squad..."

Mo Salah and KDB should be a lesson to everybody that players need games and time sometimes.

He seems more Aspas to me at the moment. Someone who is well suited to goal scoring in Spain but not here

Not sure we can say he's like anyone after 230 mins in the PL...

That's fair. But in those 230 minutes he's looked a bit lost
