Agreed. Rapha had similar stats to Diaz before Flickball. Maybe he could take a step forward as well. But certainly not for a high fee or wages. He would definitely be a good rotational player, though, who could widen the field and draw some defenders, taking some pressure off Yamal.

I agree that we really missed our two starting full-backs. This was one of the main reasons for our exit, since we could only replace them with average substitutes — though Garcia is actually pretty decent. Just imagine how the tie would have gone if either Rapha or Lamine had been injured. Or...

There's no need to buy another Christensen.

should sign him. There is not much risk. Get him on a relatively low wage (since he would love to play for barca) and see how he develops. Use him as a rotation player. If he's not happy or good enough, we could still sell him for some well-needed cash.

I agree with the priority of the left winger. Raphinha and Yamal were fit for most of the season. It was only during the dark times at the end of 2024 that we realised we needed a skilled backup winger who can (ideally) play on both sides. That's when we almost bottled la liga.

That's the only reason I hope Inter will win it.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen as number 1 and Tek as backup. Sell Pena and bring in one of the youngsters as third keeper. Defence: Kounde and Garcia should be fine at RB. If Christensen stays fit, we have three good CBs with him, Cubarsi and Martinez. And Araujo as a backup. Personally I would sell...

I have no doubt that he will get enough minutes, but if he wants to join us, he will have to take a pay cut, and I'm not sure he wants to do that.

It would actually be a great move for all parties. He fits their style better and we could use the money to strengthen our weaknesses.

Yes, but we can all see how much they struggle with a defensively unreliable RB (Vazquez). They already have enough attacking power, what they lack is a real style of play.

Ferran will expose him all day long

On the left is Rapha and on the right is Salah. (league stats) If you look at the x-values, there is not a huge difference. Just the effectiveness of them or their teammates.

Worst in terms of the transfer as a whole or just the quality of the player?

That's the interesting question. I don't think we should change too much because we dominated them. Sometimes it's just bad luck when we don't win these games.

If we don't do anything stupid (like conceding two goals in the first 6 minutes) and convert at least every other 100% chance, this should absolutely be a win for us.

We should be looking for a new goalkeeper in the summer. In my opinion, the best scenario would be to sell both Ter Stegen and Pena (but I don't think that will happen). Keep Tek and buy a young promising goalkeeper. Options could be Restes from Toulouse or Garcia from Espanyol.

I think the goalkeeper position will be important this summer. Tek isn't averse to staying on for another season. But I can't see us keeping all three. My preferred scenario would be to sell both Pena and Ter Stegen. Buy a young, promising goalkeeper as number 2 for one season. He could take...

Hi guys, nice to meet you all.

I think Barca is still THAT CLUB (along with Real). But you mentioned the problem. Our board can't sign a player (Güler, Bergvall etc.) when there is competition. Even if they are "easy" transfers. Same problem with selling players. When was the last time, we sold someone for good money?

Fermin isn't that bad. His finishing isn't as cold as it was last season. He also often plays in positions that are unfavourable to him.
