20 - Dani Olmo

[jairzinho]

We could easily get Merino or Zubimendi for that price. We need a DM not a CAM.

 

[wisconsincule]

So Leipzig want €60M for him? Hope we won’t get him but we will. Would we have bought Olmo if he wasn’t Catalan and Masia? Nope.

I was just thinking about this. There have been media rumors about us signing Olmo for years. Too predictable.

I still see this as a pure luxury signing. If he comes hopefully he is works out.

Do we think hell be better or worse than Torres? Lol

 

[DonAK]

The way arm chair SDs are complaining about back up plans.

I except a list 10 deep of alternatives to Williams

The backup plan should be not sign anyone and keep your money.

He is obviously better than shrimp Torres.

But still not the quick electric good 1v1 left winger all of us wanted.

I agree with this.

Merino is not a DM though.

 

[Givenchy]

Good signing, wrong timing.

 

[malvolio]

The Barca way:
1. Need a DM, LW, FBs, ST
2. Fuck around trying/not trying to sign a good LW but get rejected
3. Have no other LW option as plan B
4. Sign a player no big club had an idea of approaching but Barca where kind of wanting for years
5. Get said player, who is an AMC/10, after a good NT tournament and his price is the highest(inflated)
6. Probably play that player as LW

Tiptop club management. World class planning. Best of the best!

Depending on what players are getting sold, the squad balance in the end of the window and what Flick is planning, he like to use homegrown players so maybe we will se Casado as backup in dm.

 

[jairzinho]

Merino is not a DM though.

He isn't but can play there if needed. Based on Opta he had the most interceptions per 90 minutes (2.3), possession regains per 90 (9.5) etc. I think he would fit in good for us as a DM or box to box.

Not a fan of Casado. He just seems so lightweight for a DM. At least with Gavi he has tenacity. I just dont get that with Casado but i might be wrong here.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

not his biggest fan but amazing goals and assists though

 

[Porque]

Can't base anything off of that friendly. Last season we bested Madrid in the US, and Oriol has a stunning game.

We saw how his season went.

Shunning a pivot and relying on Casado/Bernal while investing in a non-priority like Olmo would be very Barca.

Now we may see Christensen as our starting pivot, which is fine quality wise. But can he be relied on fitness and injury wise?

 

[draconifire]

I don't know what's more hilarious and dumb.
1- A club offering 60mil+ for a player, where they already have 2-3 players of the same profile and almost as good. Or buying that said player to play him out of his natural position.
2- The current club rejecting that massive offer. The club is a mid-table club at best with no hopes of winning the league. And this will be their biggest transfer till date, and on top, it will be for a player who has the most hype now and the hype will go down from here.

But that club is owned by Red Bull so they can do whatever the fuck they want. Money is not an issue.
