@NealGardner_ I'd still sell Balde if Dimarco is the replacement. He has more Champions League experience than Balde and Espart combined. Dimarco/Espart on the left and Eric/Cancelo on the right gives Flick plenty of options, especially with the hectic schedule that we all know.
@yinkaart@appiecule They've made mistakes, sure. But their mistakes never shattered them or reached the point where we felt nervous just seeing their name in the starting XI. That's the difference for me.
Do you really compare Cubarsi's mentality to Araújo's? Cubarsi made a huge mistake too, all defenders do, but it didn't shatter him. He kept showing up for Barça and Spain and went on to help his country win the World Cup. That's the difference for me.
Again, I don't hate Araújo as a person or want him to fail.
@FDJXLY19@stepas__@NealGardner_ Again, what can the club do in his case? They can't force him to leave. If he's content with being on the bench and earning pennies, so be it.
@appiecule Funny thing is how disastrous missing out on Nico felt at the time. Two years later, I don't think there's a single Barça fan losing sleep over it.
Might be worth remembering that with Julián too 😂
