Can we find a good nickname for him? I can't stand typing out Luis Alberto every time.
boozer? re: his surname.
L-Dawg
I don't know his surname.

La. He's a good player that La is.
It's not criminal but it's not a concern Barca have showed before. They bought plenty of players for larger amounts who couldn't get much playing time in their midfield. Mascherano for example
Wouldn't you say there's a big difference between signing a 20 year old who will need games to improve and a proven commodity like Masch? It's not like buying a Neymar (for example - similar age I think), who will compete with Villa/Pedro/Sanchez for playing time (and the fee dictates he has to play). Do Barca do what Bayern does and sign the best under 22 year old kids in their league? I don't really know - so hence asking.
I think someone in the last couple pages asked why he couldn't get a game at Sevilla. That's a better question than why didn't Barca take up the purchase option in my opinion.
If he was so highly rated at Sevilla, why did they not think to integrate him into the first team proper last season instead of loaning him out? Is it that the case that he has simply progressed massively in the last year whereas he wasn't ready previously or perhaps Barca gave Sevilla a loan fee that made it more attractive to send him out on loan?

So many questions...
Don't get the negativity. We always overpay for mediocre players, now we are getting a young player who could be a diamond in the rough. I thought we have been crying out for our scouts to bring to the club players who we have not heard before and then turn to stars? We got the first part right, who's to say the second wont come true?

People seem to forget that every player, at some stage, have been more or less unknown to the masses. Some bloom later than others and some has simply gone under the radar for one reason or another.
I don't know anything about this lad, but the fact we are buying him based on what we've actually seen makes it a quite interesting prospect to me at least. Whether he's good enough, only time will tell. But just because he's not already front page material doesn't mean he's no good.

What? I thought footballers were born famous !!!!
There is absolutely nothing in this guys short history that screams promise. He's done nothing in underage football, nothing in the first team anywhere.
He was loaned out by Sevilla who were happy to let him go for 3-4m at that point, after a seemingly good season at Barca they don't think he's worth that. Sevilla then immediately agree to sell him to us - with stories of contract disputes and disagreements with the club in the past.
He may turn out to be decent, but there is absolutely nothing in his history that suggests he's a real talent. And to cut short the arguments - Coutinho had featured in the top division in two leagues before we signed him and showed talent. Sturridge already had showed he could cut it in the Premiership.
Maybe Rodgers sees something that nobody else sees, or maybe he's preoccupied with becoming a poor mans Barcelona.

So ... do you think this is the case? Or did Rodgers get extremely lucky with the Jan purchases?
I have already said I think it is in a number of threads.
So do you think the committee has fucked up with Alberto? Or they've gone over it and seen something that they like?
Well lets set aside that I think that its too early to decide whether Courinho and Sturridge were good deals. (A good half season is a start but nothing else)
Your argument is it looks like they got something right so we shouldn't doubt them, an argument which belongs in the same place as the idea that we shouldn't sell players because we'd have to replace them and we were bad at buying them for about four years. (The rubbish bin)
Grow some balls and allow yourself an opinion. They don't see anything me and you can't see.

What you blatantly seem to miss here is that you haven't seen him play but the ones wanting to buy him have. The same scouts and personnel that wanted to buy Coutinho I guess. At least, the same manager.
You focus instead on stats and speculates as to why club x didn't value him or why club y decided to sell him.

Yeah, well, apart from the player in question that you have already stated have "achieved nothing".
It's not particular ballsy to have an opinion about something when it's merely based on guesswork is it?
I agree re: Coutinho and Sturridge, but I'm optimistic.
No, I have no worries with doubt ... It's a healthy emotion, but no one here has seen ONE full game and everyone is acting as if they know more than our scouts who've watched him for over a year. This isn't Downig or Carroll, players we watched for their respective clubs, though he may turn out to be as shit as them - who knows.
I have an opinion: I have never seen him play, so until I do, I'll just hope for the best.
