4-2-3-1. Messi in the middle of everything. Or 3-3-1-3.
That's AMC not CM.

So we are going all out for Bellerin/Semedo, Verratti and Dembele are we now? I would be surprised if we can land a single one of those targets, nevertheless all three. I hope Barto and co have 250m-300m lying around if they want to snap up all three.
If we get Verratti, we will not need a right sided player
Verratti and Busquets will control midfield, keep the ball and Messi will not need to come to the center
So we get Dembele this summer and Mbappe next summer
yes our eyes are much bigger than our stomachs can handle.
are you suggesting 4-4-2 then ?well , if we are planning to move messi in the midfield or behind three strikers (maintaining 4-3-3), Ousmane is the player we need to cover right forward position, Not verratti. Verrati and messi can co exist in the same midfield, with Ousmane on the right side of front three.
So we eliminate both Rakitic and Iniesta from the lineup?
...........................ter stegen
Semedo pique......................Umtiti........alba
..........verratti....................Busquets...........
Dembele...............Messi.................Neymar
........................Suarez
Is this what you are suggesting?
who do you think we should sell to accomodate mbappe, suarez or neymar ?
I'm just not sure how we will go about replacing Suarez when the time comes, I just don't see him ever leaving because he is best friends with Messi, their wifes are too, maybe he will be a bench player.
I think if we don't get Verratti we should sign Dembele this summer and maybe move to a Busi - Rakitic behind CAM Messi in a 4-2-3-1 with Neymar and Dembele helping out and forming a 4 midfield in defensive transition.
Our options get limited, with players like Seri and Silva moving to other clubs. Rather than another filler at CM, I'd pay the rumored 90m. for Dembele.
If reinforcing the midfield with certified quality is not possible, at least reinforce the right side with a top addition. Add Semedo as well, and with Semedo - Dembele you have a great looking right side for potentially 5-7 years or even more. A right side which Messi can work with.
Busi - Rakitic can work fine if the tactics are better.
Agree with you 100%. If we can't get a world class midfielder than we have to go full force on Dembele, but what a dream summer it would be if we could sign both Veratti and Dembele.
