No idea man. There's no way Barto will sell Ney if he can help it, and I don't think the player himself wants to leave either (despite half the forum running with it because of yet another random rumor).

Yeah, and that's the big problem in my book. I can understand people wanting to spend a good chunk of a potential Ney fee on the squad, but who to replace him with, as he's clearly the best out there?
I really don't want to speculate too much on a potential replacement, as it's a waste of time, but a couple of those that would make me the least sad to see replace him, would probably be Carrasco and Draxler. The former would obviously have to learn to score goals on a regular basis and I'm not sure the latter is quite fast enough for a role as LF in our system, but I really, really like Draxler. I know he hasn't quite lived up to the expectations since he blew up, but whenever I watched him last season at Wolfsburg, he was stellar.

I absolutely am on Carrasco or Draxler but it seems it's been a while the club is only looking for big 'names' unfortunately.

So far this summer, there have been rumors about plenty of lesser known ones - hell even a few complete no names as well.

Neymar just can't get rest can he...... I can't remember the last time a player got so much heat from the BarcaForum..... At least in Cesc's case the guy was a dud and he had it coming but in Neymar's case, he is actually a prominent player who helped us win a treble and a double in two years, actually being the best player in the latter season during the period when a certain GOAT was out injured for a long while at that!
Silly fcuking season.... Can't wait to the see the end of it

Reus's achievements at Dortmund amount to absolute nothing but he still gets praised like anything. Don't know if it is because of his pretty face. I would rather have Hazard in my team than Reus even considering his god awful form last season.
I fear this will never stop and if he does move people will consider him as next Figo.

Let me correct my previous sentence : Very big ones or not well-known ones but not with that much quality.
p.s : there are rumors every summer but let us see who we sign at the end.

Come on guys, we need to be real.
grass is always greener somewhere else.
I can't say I'm Neyfan, more annoyed by him than anything else usually, but there is just no rational replacement or a reason to sell him.
yeah he was awful, but he also stepped up with no Messi. He completely replaced him, we didn't even feel his absence , there ain't many players out there that can do that for us.
Maybe next season he will mature completely and be able to have great season, not just half.
Selling a 24 year old, probably best player after Messi retires, if he gets his head straight and replacing him with whoever, that would be massively beneath his league, just doesn't make sense

Draxler is starting tonight. Check him out, if you're watching the match.

So far we seem to have locked down Denis and Umtiti. Both of them look like very good prospects, and as I see don't fall into either of the two categories. Time will of course tell, though.

We don't have the types of players who can utilize crosses from the wings. Not Suarez, not Messi either. Scoring a header here and there doesn't cut it.
crosses can be low crosses. i seen those wingers make plenty of them,
