Yes, his level is more like Jovic and less like Suarez, which is why 111M or even +90M€ for him is way too much.

I might not bet my house on it, but weirder things has happened. He has a decent shot for a midfielder, I could see this one go through. Remember, no one thought Liverpool could lose in CL until a Real Madrid reject, defensive midfielder, banged 2 against them. Rakitic can score in the CL final...

I'm just looking sooo much forward to that CL final in August, when Rakitic will bang us a goal and barcaforum won't know what to do with themselves :lol:

Good points. As for 4) it will be interesting to follow the praished Liverpools transfer, now that they are world class. Can they still do smart business, when new players know they will be benched? Interesting take: Bayern should mostly be judged by the international players they buy, not...

You can "possible" about all top sides, because of the very point that Liverpool is out. Bayern don't have more chances than we do, as I see it.

He sounds like a guy who likes the limelight and spurs around shit: "Nasser wrote to me today", lol, who talks like that - he just want to feel important. I would love for us to investigate this transfer, but the things in that quote proves nothing, imo.

Sure, that was more wishful thinking than something I truly believe.

Son would have cost double.

Yes, but the hype around Bayern's transferdecisions is waaay over the top. First of all: They only get players on free transfers because they have league monopoly and is only deadsure bet of CL every year. You can't compare Barca to those circumstances. Give Dortmund or Schalke 5 league titles...

I think this is key, as there wouldn't be as big a discussion, if we were about to pay 40M? for him. But we are not. He is good, but not 111M-good, so that's why his talent is debbated in the light of the fee. Everyone thinks Kovacic is a decent player, but if we were about to splash 150M? for...

I'm getting real tired of this flop-calling. One hattrick in Champions League and this guy will be not be labelled flop anymore, more like a sure starter for years to come; but all the way up to that point he was a flop, how dumb is that? It's ridiculous how much people need a narrative. We had...

I agree - anyone that wants him out now is a bit mad. We have no replacement, and much rather need one more quality CB than letting go of him! He is reliable and unless you play FIFA you don't need 11 starnames in your team to win, that is not how football works. Even look at Liverpools midfield...

Chelsea have had success with Pedro, Fabregas etc. Now they are interested in Coutinho + Kante comes from his first season with more injuries. I'd say the could be very tempted, as they also have Jorginho in that position and Kovacic as CM. They have younger players coming through and that...

Don't put too much pressure on him yet, this hype is insane!

Dream scenario: Coutinho <--> Kante straight swap Rest of the deals seem too bad for us, but we are desperate and will end up accepting anything.

Why can't Dortmund ever get the job done in the end? A world class goalkeeper might have saved the goal, but it's disappointing that they always lose to Bayern in the long run. Give Reus a trophy ffs!!

United gives us a run for our money, but otherwise I'm not sure..

Lautaro-Messi-Griezmann could work, but the rest of the team needs to be moulded then. We need world class fullbacks with a lot of speed and pace to go box-to-box, and cover our lack of width. We would also need at least 1 workhorse midfielder like Vidal, but less attacking than him. Busquets +...

I don't think La Masia produce enough talent these years, and that's the problem -not that players leave to other clubs. Grimaldo is world class according to some barcafans with an agenda, but the problem is defunding of La Masia and not strategically betting on youth through the years.

He is too expensive now, yes. But in 1 year that will be different. I think he will end up being a De Bruyne-transfer, where the fee might seem high for a Bundesliga-club like Leverkusen (50-75M€), but after a season or two in a topclub he will be world class. We don't have a spot for him...
