Opinion : Alex Collado deserves better treatment

Why is it always the good ones who have to be sacrificed?! Players like Collado love this club so much and desperately want to fight for a place, but he also has self respect. He knows his game time might be limited, so he is actively looking for a loan out to get some experience.

He knew in 3 games that he won’t be getting much game time, and he took the decison to look for a way of getting more minutes. Yet players like Umtiti, pjanic, braithwaite, Roberto etc who know they won’t get game time are still here!! They aren’t looking for a way out.

They aren’t helping themselves or the club. And because they’re still here, players like Collado are having to leave in order to find more game time. It’s just so sad.

I just hope that this is a straight forward loan, with no buy option, no obligation to buy. Just a simple loan. So that he can come back to Barça an even better player, more experienced. And ready to fight for a place in the team. Which is what he deserves Good luck @AlexCollado_!

MD: Álex Collado didn’t play a single minute against Stuttgart and everything indicates that he will leave on loan in the coming days in search of opportunities. Ronald Koeman is not convinced with his performances.
