I am aware of that but his confidence dont look too good at the moment.Gvardiol is a £77m player who has 200 games under his belt.
It is not down to confidence. Defensive ability does play a part in that.I am aware of that but his confidence dont look too good at the moment.
Gravidol is simply knackered, the lad needs a breakI'd say Gvardiol will be more affected than Pusey.

I don't mind dropped bollocks if dropping them means pep achieved what he has achieved. I don't see it that way though so no point. But respect to your pov.No it’s not the Palmer thread but “giving in to players” betrays the inflexible mentality. It’s Pep’s way or on yer bike, as he’s an inveterate control merchant, but which in this case proved one of the club’s worst dropped bollocks.
It is relevant to this thread because Echeverri risks becoming another bigged up prospect who becomes marginalised, loaned out and eventually eBayed.
Does it matter ultimately? As long as careers aren’t wrecked, and all parties make money, maybe not. And Pep wont have regrets when he has licence to buy oven ready replacements.

He could be similar to what Enciso was to Brighton before his injury.
They got him as an 18 year old who'd only played in Paraguay, albeit with 50 games under his belt (twice as many as Echeverri), and he made 20+ Premier League appearances in his first season.
Echeverri is much like him. Capable of great skill and moments of magic but physically not ready to start or play 90 mins twice a week.
I think he could be a useful sub to have and inject a bit of energy for the last 20 mins. He's raw but has a decent turn of speed and wicked shot on him. More direct than most of our other attacking players.

Yours too, mate. And, of course, Pep’s credits massively outweigh his lesser moments. Now I suppose we should move on and let the thread stick to its main purpose. :-)
