One of the nine players (Rafinha, Alena, Pedri, Trincao, Oriol Busquets, Miranda, Matheus, Wague and Todibo) who should have started a pre-season today has tested positive

So it’s not the current squad?

 

[Messi983]

No, it's newly signed players and those coming back from loans. They won't be "in touch" with the current first team members and they'll start to train tomorrow afternoon when first team will already be in Lisbon.

Wasn't there talk about Arthur having it?

That was just an STD

 

[Messi983]

It's Todibo.

He is a collector

Alena is also in quarantine. He tested negative but was in contact with Todibo.

So there's a pre-election debate to talk about the current situation between Joan Laporta, Victor Font, Toni Freixa and Emili Rosaud.

Laporta decided not to attend who prefers to stay silent in this matter

So, what will Koeman's Barca look like?

ter Stegen is out until November. Seems like Neto will be first choice, which I don't particularly like.

Defense:
LB: Alba (looks like he's staying, unfortunately), Firpo
CB: Pique (no way he leaves imo), Lenglet, Araujo, Garcia. Sell Umtiti to any club for any price. Sell Todibo with a buyback.
RB: Cancelo, Emerson. Bring Emerson back, sell Semedo for Garcia + Cancelo.

Midfield:
Sell Rakitic to Sevilla and Vidal to China/Juventus. Sell Rafinha to Inter/China.
CDM: De Jong is first choice, Busquets is a bench warmer.
CM: Pjanic, Puig, Pedri, Roberto (rotation only), Alena (rotation only), Matheus (bench or loan)
Send Monchu out on loan to a La Liga team.

Attack:
Sell Suarez to Ajax. Messi is probably staying. Sell Braithwaite.
LW: Fati, (Dembele)
CF: Messi, Griezmann
RW: Dembele, Trincao

Top-3 finish and a chance to intergrate youth.


Just seen van de Beek rumors. If he comes, sell Roberto.

Didn't know where to post this.

2 year old son of Lluis Fernandez Ala (one of the presidential candidates in last elections) died yesterday.

Barca legends will play a friendly against Real Madrid legends in Tel Aviv on 20th this month.


For this duel in Tel Aviv, Bar?a will be able to count on names such as Ronaldinho, Rivaldo or Deco, as well as Jon Andoni Goikoetxea, Miquel 'Nanu' Soler, Guillermo Amor, Gaizka Mendieta, Javier Saviola, Ronald de Boer, Juan Carlos Rodr?guez, Fr?d?ric D?hu, Samuel Okunowo and Jes?s Mar?a Angoy.
