Man, I really hope this transfer happens. Just look at these:
Starters (attacking)
--------------Ter Stegen--------------
Roberto-----Pique----Umtiti-----Alba
---------------Busquets---------------
--------Rakitić---------Coutinho------
Dembele------Messi----Suarez-------
Starters (defending)
--------------Ter Stegen--------------
Roberto-----Pique----Umtiti-----Alba
Dembele-Rakitić-Busquets-Coutinho
---------Messi---------Suarez--------
Subs (attacking)
----------------Cillesen----------------
Semedo---Mina--Vermaelen---Digne
-----------Rakitić/Roberto------------
--------Paulinho--------Iniesta-------
-Vidal/Raf.-----Paco-----Denis/Raf.-
Subs (defending)
----------------Cillesen---------------
Semedo---Mina--Vermaelen---Digne
Vidal--Paul-Raki/Bob-Iniesta--Denis
----------------Paco-------------------
We would have decent cover for every position. And we even have Oriol, Arnaiz and Alena in the B team who can step up.
So, the players, who fall out are:
-Arda
-Gomes
-Deulofeu
And Mascherano is leaving. From the horror we predicted at the beginning of the season, this is light years away.
P.S. I also don't know where Griezmann would fit in this. Maybe we can convert him into Rakitić 2.0 with a bit more attacking tendencies?
