The past summer, the FC Barcelona fichó to important players, but also carried out a 'operation gone out' numerous with several footballers that abandoned the team. The majority of them was because they do not hinder in the plans of Ernesto Valverde, but in the case of Lucas Digne sopesó an important offer of the Evertón, in addition to the will of the footballer.

The reaction of the sportive direction was to leave him leave, although it did not think in bringing to any reinforcement for the position of left side and leave to Jordi Alba like only able footballer to exert to this role of natural form. The presence of Juan Miranda -with a lot of future by in front to his 19 years- in the filial considered , in this moment, sufficient to way of patch.

Of course, the problems derived of not having to a player accustomed to the shooting of the first staff has carried to  Valverde to have to throw of alternatives. Juan Miranda showed that, in spite of having a lot of projection, still does not feel comfortable in parties of high requirement, by what even has arrived to reconvert some player to side, as Thomas Vermaelen or Nélson Semedo.

In the press conference of Valverde previous to the party of LaLiga in front of the Girona, the Txingurri confessed that the position of left side goes just of effective. "The position of the left side have it a bit more lame because it only is Jordi", commented the technician extremeño, adding that "it touches us throw of the B or adapt to Nélson or Sergi Roberto".

The trainer of the FC Barcelona, to his time, also recognised that it understands that, in these moments, can not bring to any player by economic subjects. Nevertheless, the club studies seriously reinforce the left-handed side in summer. Jordi Alba is a fundamental piece in the team and has to dosificarse, in addition to having at the side to a player that can substitute him in case of injury or sanction.

Mendy, the favourite

The technical office has several names in the wallet to reinforce the left side and the one who more likes is Ferland Mendy, player that, to his 23 years, is standing out in the Olympique of Lyon. Besides, there are other options but economic like the one of Filipe Luis, that finish agreement with the Athletic of Madrid and, to his 33 years, would contribute experience to cost zero.
