Just love him.
When we kept passing it around risky and he went fuck this and just booted it out. Also think it led to an attack.

He was on one of the European press conferences the other week and was asked about a full contract then. He gave a rather roundabout āno commentā but I suspect that this is one of those awkward situations where they canāt really say anything whilst he is still officially a Barcelona player.
There is also the possibility that he could get offers from other clubs, but he says he and his family are very happy here at the moment.

Just hope he doesnāt overstep it though, because he likes playing on the edge (thatās fine, as long as you can balance it). That tackle near the end was a clear foul in a dangerous position. Thankfully, Nyoni saved us in another action when Ron went to the floor fully committed. Brilliant tackle that was, just coming off the bench.

May not be the best player ever but attitude will always mean he will be one of the fans favourite. There is no hurry to make it permanent but I am sure behind the scenes, there will be talks behind the relevant parties.l constantly.
He seems to be enjoying playing football again.
Which probably wasnāt the case in his last 2 seasons in Barcelona.
Itās not like Liverpool fans arenāt tolerant about his mistakes but barca fans made it seem that heās a walking mistake.
Front foot defenders will always make more mistakes than people like VVD who regard tackling as making a mistake. And barcelona fans see him making a mistake when part of his remit was to make those aggressive tackles

And I would say the way football is changing. It might well be the case that we would need defenders who can play both CB and wingback.
Some of the best CBs in the world started off as wingbacks and then graduated to becoming CBs. I meant people like a Maldini etc.
Maybe we are heading back to that direction where the primary responsibility of the back 4 is to defend first.
Heās probably one of those players who truly feed off the affection that fans show them and wilt when they donāt. Heās been open about the mental health struggles he faced during his last season(s) at Barcelona but now he looks like heās enjoying football once again and he genuinely seems to care about the team and fans.
One thing that concerns me about him is that he can be too rash at times (and Iām referring to his early yellow against Man City, rather than his aggressive defending in and around our box) but I guess that this is what you get with him and what makes him the player he is. I wonder if heād be as good at CB as heās been in his defensive RB role - though I hope Jacquet and Van Dijk stay fit and on form for a long, long time!

Barcelona have fucked up loaning Ronnie to us IMO. They lost to RM and Mbappe at weekend when they could have had a brick wall like him climbing all over Mbappe. I understand that in the Barca DNA, elegant CBs like Cubarsi are always going to be preferred but silk and steel is a proven winner. Their mistake is our gain though and our history is very much about the steel.
I donāt think theyāve f*cked up. It was obviously an agreement from all parties to find a different solution. In recent times, in Araujoās two positions, they got players like Kounde and Cubarsi, important starters for them.

Plus, due to their overall situation, they have to manage wages and stuff. Getting a new useful young player like Espart in the first team squad and finding a new situation for Araujo (who has a contract with Barca until 2031) also means for the financial side of things.
