I've seen a surprising amount of people here, in the whatsapp, and other places online, trying to defend, support or rationalize this Bellerin interest.
Yes, I know we're fucking broke. Yes, I'm aware it's "only" a loan.
None of that matters. It's as if you (referring to those who aren't against this deal) have somehow ignored the elephant in the room, which is that he is shit. He is simply a fucking mediocre as fuck player.
I couldn't care less how "risk-free" or temporary the deal might be. Nothing outweighs the sporting side and Bellerin doesn't cut it, even for cheap.
He is the definition of an overpriced EPL hack. Defensively garbage, offensively mediocre in the extreme, fast but lacking technique or brains. As others have mentioned, he's coming off YEARS of poor form and injuries which seem to have permanently reduced him.
Like vas said, I wouldn't take him for free. I can accept that we're broke, I can't accept us utterly wasting our scarce resources like this. We're better off keeping that money and giving fucking Lazaro another try, or getting some other average Serie A shitter on loan, like Bereszyński or Faraoni.
