... And last year he was good enough for barca, this year he isn't a good player?
Juve sign Bellerin right now and then the opinions about him will change again

Arsenal ain't Juve, one team has a plan, great players a competes for major trophies
The point is Arsenal isnt developing talent with its current manager

I wanted Bellerin but not at the price that was being talked about (which of course is market value). I thought that Barca could find a right back just as good if they scouted better for less money & when the Semedo rumors started coming up, I was ecstatic because I had been watching Benfica in the CL.
I didn't like Dembele for the price either because again I think with solid scouting you can find a player just as good for much less. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's with the team but don't like the price paid. Even though a club like Barca has dough, there's no reason we can't operate like Monchi did at Sevilla by finding young great talent.
What's bizarre about Bellerin is the Barca players like Iniesta & alba put the full court press on him to come back to Camp Nou. They even took him out for dinner several times (in London & Barcelona) but he then publicly committed to Arensal later & then signed an extension. Bizarrely sometime later it was said he wanted to come before Valverde put the kibosh on it.
I hate that we're in this era where clubs like Barca, City, United are like that fat rich kid hypebeast that buys all the name brand ish with no regard just because it's name brand.

But that was never the original point. My point was, Bellerin isn't considered a good player because he plays for arsenal.. Not because he isn't a good player. Dude was just on City and Barca's shortlist last year. Neither didn't get him not because he isn't a good player, but because Arsenal wouldn't sell him.
What you're saying is exactly my point. Ya'll are looking at the club and judging the player. Put Bellerin on any team better than arsenal and his FIFA rating and peoples opinions of him would change.
Arsenal as a whole is buns this season. Not just Bellerin. When they were a top 4 club playing in the Champions league tho...
He's only bad now because Barca and City have been forced to sign other fullbacks.

Outside the bantz currently going on, I will say prior to recently, Bellerin's form had dipped considerably. Part of which due to playing a different role here & there but his play was really bad, like john stones bad. He's playing well as of late though.
I really don't like the possibility of Gremio's Arthur especially if they're asking €50m for him... That should be a hard pass.

I’ve always rated Bellerin...probably because of his elite quickness and enough ball skills to differentiate himself from a Deandre Yedlin type.

No start for Phil. Great to see Umtiti back. No Semedo though

Yeah, he's definitely not playing as well as last season. And Barca/City aren't missing out on not signing him in the least bit.
I think outside of usual Arsenal issues, he'll come good again. If they can keep ahold of Ozil, sign Aubameyang, and get some type of central defensive stability, he'll be on the up again.
Look at Wengers tactics defensively since Conte came through and dominated with 3 at the back. Arsenal has been confused ever since. Wenger been playing musical chairs and conducting experiments with his defense for going on a season and a half now. I think even once Bellerin as playing on the left and even centrally.
Can't be mad at City and Barca for moving on because top clubs always have backup plans and will bounce back.

No, his dip started early last campaign & continued into the early part of this campaign. He's been playing much better since somewhere in Dec through now.

My bad, I'm thinking about when they finished 2nd behind Leicester. That was a stand out year for him

Wasn't Barcelona poaching Bellerin just a year ago?
I'm just a fan of the game b.
I know
Was just making it clear dude was wasting keystrokes responding and getting triggered by your post as if you said that as a United fan. None of us have been puffing their chests in here like that about Europa at all but you already know narratives

Nevermind, Lazio rightfully signed him to an extension...
Damn, Salah "only" makes £90k a week...

Y’all ultimately came out on top. Still signed a RB, CB, and Coutinho.
Might sign another Frenchman this summer too.
Definitely not expecting Barca to dwell on Bellerin

Do people actually like Ray Hudson? I enjoy it but I don't watch La Liga that often so my exposure is a bit more limited. I imagine he could be pretty annoying if you have to hear it frequently
