I don't think last season, at least after the first quarter, represented the true potential for Ballou. At first he was a breath of fresh air whenever he would get minutes and would electrify the attack, but then he started complaining about his Europe dream being blocked by the Impact and he never was the same. He also got injured later on which didn't help his minutes, although he probably wasn't injured for the whole period where we didn't see him play. Pretty sure the team made were replying to his complaints by not dressing him in the 18.
The real potential of Ballou was on display for the first 8ish games last season and the previous couple of years, including his impressive performance in a a couple dozen minutes against Roma. He was also great with FC Montréal as a 16/17 year old.
Heard Neymar was unhappy at PSG
Neymar-Nacho-Vargas
The one thing with Martinez is that he's super small for that position in the MLS. This can be a really physical, not all that technical league. Could he adjust to that effectively ? A lot of south american players have a hard time with it.
I don't know, but apparently he wants to join Real, and Cristiano seems on his way out.How much Millions is his release clause at?
They only paid 200M$ last year

We will most likely get a DP in the summer. It's been our style for many seasons! Plus, there would be much more options following the world cup. We shouldn't just spend the money now for the sake of it. Perhaps one more player to solidify the team...hopefully we play solid until the summer, and then, we could make 3 big additions.
The previous thread was locked and I realized a new one wasn't made yet. Also, I liked the previous thread's subtitle of "un changement de garde," so I just made it Part II. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to share them.
Anyways, onto the business of the thread:
Garde à vous!
Cabrera goes from #36 to #2.
I hope we will spend this Barca (barf) money smartly.
In the meantime, Real Madrid sent me a captain's armband for my birthday. They know my value.
He has to be pissed tho
