Do you really want ANOTHER transfer ban? In our current situation? If we really attempted to register him despite FIFA saying we can't, they could penalize us again. Yes, it is possible that after appeal to CAS or other institution such punishment would be overturned, but do we really want to...

I wouldn't use Chile national team as a proof of Bravo qualities. It's not like they have many choices other than him, like Germany for example. Who is Chilean backup GK right now? I'm sure almost no one here knows the answer. So he doesn't exactly have a lot of competition there.

It's amusing how much he changed his style from Barca B days. He was huge ballhog just few months ago, now he passes (mostly) pretty quickly and has better decision making than Neymar, LOL.

Well, one interesting possibility is to NOT register Vidal for CL (just for La Liga). If Roberto continues to play well on RB, he and Alves could be enough to cover RB position.

He NEVER played great at CM in his whole life.

We can get Yarmolenko, who is very similar player with similar age, for less already during this winter. No need to blow up big money for backup forward who isn't sure thing.

You want to put Roberto at CM? Have you forgotten how horrible is he on that position? He should never play there again, except against weak teams.

Well, the problem is it's the Pogba who looks to be Barto's marquee signing next summer. And he'll cost so much that it would preclude signing of other midfielders for sure.

He needs to be loaned ASAP and play every game like Halilovic in Gijon to improve enough to be at least Barca backup. Right now his development stalled.

And what about exactly the opposite arrangement? Put Alves into midfield and leave Roberto at RB. Roberto is better defender today and Alves is IMO better passer.

He'll have just one year remaining of his contract next summer. If he wants to leave he'll leave. The question is - for how much?

LOL, Madrid were unable to get De Gea who wanted desperately out and had one year on his contract. United don't need money they won't sell him.

He wasn't one of the best DM. He's overrated by Barca fans mostly because he played relatively long for us, was Catalan and because of his coaching success. He was good distributor and had god kicking technique (our main corner taker). But he was really poor in defense, in the air and has quite...

Valdes was tested a lot, especially in his last season. But it's true that our defense now is much better.

Those lines are not that bad actually. Lot of vertical pass attempts.

Oh, please no. He absolutely doesn't fit our team, especially now when we got Turan. We need Gundogan not midfielder that can't pass.

He does but not as forward. He is a classical winger, beating opponents near the sideline, making crosses etc. Not very suited for our style.

Not defensive at all .Remember that Rakitic is AM forced to play CM because we have no one else. He can easily play on LAM instead of Iniesta, he played there in Sevilla. We thought our midfield is set with Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas and Thiago. One year later midfield was our weakness with Xavi...

Hmm, I believe you people are overrating Vidal, he wasn't that great in Sevilla, he wasn't even sure starter. We bought him IMO, because we had few alternatives (I think Dnilo was our first choice) plus he was Catalan and not very expensive. Also he played position we don't have - a classical...

He also passes a lot more than with Barca B, he doesn't hog the ball so much. I even saw one touch pass and a right foot pass:amazed:
