The British bet on Joao Félix and Marc Guiu, who were important players for Xavi's Barça, has been a real failure. Neither of them is part of Maresca's plans and the lack of minutes has become a regular occurrence.
Marc Guiu took advantage of his ridiculous release clause and surprisingly opted for Chelsea. The English team paid the 6 million euros and the forward left Barcelona despite the club's attempts to prevent it.
However, the lack of opportunities at Stamford Bridge is confirming that perhaps it was a mistake, especially seeing that all his former teammates from La Masia are important in Hansi Flick's Barça.
The Catalan player has only played 23 minutes in the Premier League and, at the moment, seems far from being able to compete for a place in the team. The centre forward duo formed by Palmer and Jackson are in great form and have the full confidence of Enzo Maresca.
Joao Félix's situation is not much better, he has not played the last two games and so far this championship he has only played 117 minutes. The Portuguese has only been able to score one goal and the feeling of being on the verge of another failure continues to increase.
