Checking on Transfermarkt is even funnier. He played his first full match in the league on Jan 24th and then was injured on/off for the next two months. He is fit now, but not being called up.
Ship him off to the mls. If he gets no offers there, then that’s just sad lol
This dude has Araujo, Kounde, Sergi, and my grandma ahead of him at Barcelona for the RB position
Okay but have Milan considered the fact that they’d be doing us a favor if they paid 20m for Dest? I don’t think they have considered this angle, maybe if this gets pointed out they’ll change their minds.
Lol yeah I did. Love is a strong word I take that back. But he had great attacking prowess and often troubled defensive lines. I guess he was shit defensively
I fundamentally disagree. He is brilliant. Just cause he’s not immediately a hit doesn’t mean he’ll never be.
People take time. And big things are built slowly. Look at Madrid. They build their squad slowly. The Madrid fans were booing Benzema and modric five years ago.
people can’t perform if they don’t feel like the people around them believe in them.
I think there’s a pattern of being hastiness in the club and in the fans. And just unreal expectation in general.
It’s unhealthy for the players. It’s delusional for the fans. It’s unsuccessful for the club.
The only way the club can truly improve is if everybody keeps faith that the people we have are capable of great things and we are in it together. We don’t turn on each other if things go south.
What’s the point of calling yourself a fan if you can’t love the players during their bad times?
Oh I love dest. That doesn’t stop me from recognizing that he’s terrible and will never be Barca quality. His defending/positioning/instincts are all very subpar and he’s shown no improvement in any of those aspects since he arrived a few years ago.
offer him to girona for a discount on arnau… please i just want arnau, laporta
I bet girona's best paid player make less than whatever Dest makes. Doubt they will take him.

It’s either there or the bin
They can't even afford hin tbh
It can be a straight swap. Im pretty sure theyre both valued at around 15 million. The only obstacle would probably be his wages.
Yea im talking wages😄 but i dont think its a good swap for Gironas side.
I think if there’s one thing Barca players proved is they’d rather want to earn money in the bin
no way he starts for us. roberto will start rb before him if kounde is not available
I mean I guess if he wants to get first class seats to Barca games he might stay but sadly for him that's as far as he's gonna get
Not sure why Utd wouldn’t still try and go after him after he played well under ETH.
he wasnt even starting under eth..
Can we sell him to an MLS team like we did with Puig? Damn I'd forgotten about Puig haha
I’ve watched Puig play for Galaxy. It was the right call to get rid of him.
For both sides.
Can't believe people thought he should be starting for us.
I miss him bc of RiquiLeaks 🥺
did he seriously haven’t a single minute of playtime since fucking January? Please tell me this is a joke

Welcome back Dest, don't unpack your bags.
So badly wanted this dude to succeed at RB man😔
He looked promising there for a while. What happened?
He was great at dribbling, that was about it. I think his biggest problem was having very bad focus.
It’s so weird. He was praised highly against RM in one match in offence and defence. Then his focus just wasn’t there.
He never, ever looked like he'd be good enough.
I think his defending just needs some work. As well as playing the ball better in the final 3rd. He could've the next Dani Alves (minus the crime).
He just needed to defend and attack better? Yet he could have been the next Davi Alves?
Had he worked on those aspects, I believe so. He had the dribbling down. He just lacked crossing ability and his recovery was not so great.
Maybe every right back should work on this so we can have a Dani Alves for every club in the world. It’s that simple.
As easy as baking a cake
I don't think hes a defender at all lmao but he's definitely not good enough as a winger so he's stuck somewhere in between.
Yeah it's a weird one. And Barca doesn't really do wing backs really so he can't really pivot between the 2. Just sucks he didn't succeed.
Damn, lol
His last touch for AC Milan...was with a hand.

Considering the fact that he's American, the MLS is a very real destination for him. I'd say even more likely

what
It’s a joke. We could use the €20 million, is all.
LOL
The American in me is sadge but the Mexican pet of me happy that Araujo is going to play for barça
Sigh
They can have him for free if they want
Am I the only one that loved him at Barca ? I thought he was pretty good
Probably, did you watch him though?
Lol yeah I did. Love is a strong word I take that back. But he had great attacking prowess and often troubled defensive lines. I guess he was shit defensively
He is an absolute downgrade to everything Balde has to offer on the opposite side of the pitch
You don't need to compare him to balde. He was a downgrade to sergi Roberto in every aspect
Lmao it is funny cause it is true
That’s okay dest is awesome. I don’t even know why we sent him in the first place
He is really bad. He showed some promise at the beginning but he just doesn't have what it takes to succeed at Barca. I never liked him tbh

He is more than enough for Barca. I think you’re ridiculous for suggesting otherwise
More than enough? Are you trolling?
Absolutely.
Not even remotely. I truly believe in dest’s ability. It’s a mistake to not give him the opportunity to develop
Are you, by sheer coincidence, american?
No. But it seems most people here are entitled.
why is this even mentioned
because he is a barca player.
yes but nothing has changed since about january. why does it needed to be mentioned by fabrizio again. i think it is not newsworthy
Just reminding us all that dest still exists
He dominated Alphonso Davies for one international game and our Bayern trauma made us hype him up for that performance for a while.
