Don't know if there any who watch Barca regularly. They have a dilemma.
On one hand they have 21 yo Dembele. 140M transfer. 2nd year at Barca and still looks completely foreign with their style of play. Immature off the field. Not clicking with teammates.
On the other hand they have 21 yo Malcolm. 40M transfer. 1st year at Barca and looks much more comfortable, albeit in limited duty. Mature kid. Teammates love him. Messi has taken him under his wing.
They play the same position. You can't develop both very well if only one can see the field regularly. Stats indicate that its Malcolm who probably should have been worth more. Much better passer, more SOG/min, better crossing, better defense, less turnovers. Dembele, however, is FAST and "looks" like he could be a generational player.
If I'm Barca, I sell Dembele if they can get good money for him. They need a young world-class center back AND they could certainly use the money to lock up Umtiti. Yes, brass will take a hit for, what will certainly be, a big loss on Dembele. But if Malcolm is the better player for what they want from a left forward, then it makes no sense having 75-100M locked up in a player who is taking minutes from your guy AND not allowing them to easily do what is necessary to fortify their back line for the next 5-7 years.
Question #2. Chelsea's Morata. A #9 that doesn't score well. Not saying that's a bad thing in general, but when you don't have much threat other than Hazard, it's tough to take full points when defenses are packed in. (And make no mistake, every mid and lower table squad should be doing that against Chelsea. God knows D. Luiz is bound to gravely screw up at least two or three counters every game that lead to great chances.) But that's not the key thing with Morata. He's horrible off the ball. His first touch is worse that D. Costa. He goes to ground constantly. In general, not only does he not put himself in dangerous positions often enough, he is a black hole offensively and does nothing to help Chelsea open up the attacking third. I really liked his signing but he's been a disaster. I'd give him the rest of the season. But at some point, it's time to get Giroud more minutes. He doesn't score either, but plays off the ball really well. There's talk of Loftus-Cheek getting more time at #9 in practice with surprisingly good results. Conte did the same thing with him. I simply don't understand how managers continue to go with guys who don't perform in games. Morata must be a wonderkid at practice.
