Convinced Alexis will be an Arsenal player very soon. He wants 2 play 4 Wenger. And the transfer fee won't be huge. Sound business by AFC


Congratulations Zubi…. we probably sold him for 30m euros.
Yeah..erm..Guillem Balauge lol

I bloody hope so. Otherwise, it would be a disaster.

Suarez is a damn fine player tbh. I just find it odd that you're beginning a reconstruction, and yet, you sell your only player whose recent season was a lot better than the previous one. That's bad judgment, selling a player who has exploded in terms of form, executions, confidence, you name it.

But hey, shit happens.

Neymar - Messi - Suarez with Alexis coming on as a super sub would be a dream but Alexis is too good to be on the bench. If you want to start Neymar , Messi , Suarez and Alexis also , it would mean that Iniesta has to stay on the bench and no sane coach would chose Alexis over Iniesta. Or maybe play him as a RB so he would start every game . I'm sure that he would do better than Alves but once again , I think he wouldn't like this option either.

The board is selling because

- they want Suarez and need money for his transfer

- Alexis being the goat , would bring at least 40 M

- Alexis is too good and wouldn't want to start on the bench

Would've been better to forget about signing Suarez or selling Alexis and just buy 2 world class CBs. Never thought Barca had a problem scoring, only in not having a proper defender. Just sign Hummels and Benatia and be set for a long time. 80 mil for a TINY upgrade on Alexis? Is it really worth it, or is the board just trying to one-up Madrid's signing of Bale?

Not complaining though.

Basically 80 mil - what we get for Alexis.

tiny upgrade? k


Ajax and Liverpool were built around getting the best out of Suarez. He was their outlet for goals. Suarez will be stifled by Messi and Neymar, and won't be as effective as he was as the main man. Like I said before, Barca has bigger issues to deal with. Replacing Puyol will go a long way towards dominating La Liga again, and the less time is left in the transfer window, the harder it gets to convince other clubs to sell their best defenders.
 
It's a crazy idea, but I would have liked to keep him and try him at RB. He'd probably be better than Cuadrado or current Alves. But I don't think he would have liked it :lol:

Mostly, I agree. Our attack was great - scored 6!!! to RM in two league games, and that with bad tactics.

Or he could turn out to be Eto'o 2. Nobody knows yet. The only thing we can judge at this moment is his football quality and IMO he is miles ahead of Alexis in terms of everything.
