Even if Arda proves himself we need midfied organizer badly. Rakitic loses too many balls to fulfill that role. Also Iniesta and Turan have some injury problems, and especially Iniesta can decline pretty quickly with age, I don't think he'll play as long for us as Xavi did. We might need new mid...

Turan is Iniesta alternate. If Gundogan comes he'll likely play on Rakitic position. But the good thing about him is his versatility he can play LM/RM and also DM for us. If we buy him we can have thise midfied next season. ----------------Busqets/Samper------------...

He might be good but both he and Depay are best at LW. One of them might find himself to be superfluous after this season.

Teams typically leave our right area of pitch open EVEN WHEN ALVES IS PLAYING. Look at our games last season - he always has ton of space when Messi is not near.

They are probably the most corrupt (big)club in Spain now, Mendes (the agent) practically rules the club now so they will sell, so that he can grease his own pockets.

We got Rakitic for 18, he had just 1 year of contract left too and was a player with similar status as Gundogan. So despite the inflation he should be our for 30. It depends on competition and whether he wants go to us, or let's say United (if they get involved).

Another average performance from him. Gundogan looks much better, and is better fit for our team tactically.

I think it has more to do with the impression that he sees himself more of a Catalan, than Spanish player, it's not just because of his anti-Madrid remarks.

I don't see that as to big problem, he'll share his position with Iniesta, so he'll have good "backup" in case of need :)

Busqets as CM is worse than Rakitic out of form. We tried to play him there in several games of last season and it was utter failure. The match will be difficult, but we can win, I'm not as scared of Atletico as I was last season. Some of their experienced players left and their team will need...

Messi is unique. We should not expect many players with his physique to break through, even in team like Barca, that puts more emphasis on technical aspects of players style. Also I don't know how old are the other players on youtube video, I presume they are from the same age group as Lee and...

Plus he was not proven at all, had just one year to the end of his contract and is not playing that well for Juventus anyway.

He looks smaller. Quite weak too. Needs to start adding some muscles, because he'll be abused by defenders even with Barca B.

Yeah, because Dybala on bench for 40 million wouldn't be stupid at all.

Too bad he's not a little bigger.

Like I said in his thread Yarmolneko is the best choice - still young, good enough, willing to come and won't cost much.

Deulo wasn't that great in his first Everton stint. He looks much better now.

Same old VdB with the same old lineup:rolleyes: Remind me : why is this guy still coach after WC fiasco?

Munir has been definitely worse than Adama when they both played for B-team, so you can make at least some comparison of them. People are talking about Adama dribbling 3 players, but while he was dribbling, Munir was completely invisible. I'm not saying Adama was ready to be promoted, but he...

Yes, but we wanted to give 20 mil for him, not 80...
