Add balde to that, likely cubarsi, but with Martinez and Christensen, we can rest him and still be okay.If everybody is fit, then Lewa, Yamal, Raphinha, Olmo, Pedri, Kounde and Araujo are automatic starters, everybody else will have to fight.
I meant to say when everyone is fit. Otherwise it would be easy to choose after int break.Idk if you are referring to when everyone is fit, or in the week after internatiomal break. I'll assume it's the second.
Lewa
Raphinha Olmo Lamine
Pedri Frenkie
Balde Cubarsi Inigo Kounde
Szczesny
The only disputable part here is Frenkie. He seems to be a little out of form after that injury but when he picks himself up I think there won't be much consideration over whether he starts. Casado and Gavi should get big minutes regardless, even in the big games vs Bayern and Madrid.
Balde fights with who?If everybody is fit, then Lewa, Yamal, Raphinha, Olmo, Pedri, Kounde and Araujo are automatic starters, everybody else will have to fight.
Stunning de-escalation in ur concluding statement. Halaand or roque he said lol25/26 squad
GK: MATS (33-34), Pena (26-27)
RB: Kounde (26-27), Fort (19)
CB: Araujo (26-27), Christensen (29-30), Cubarsi (18-19), Martinez (34 - End of contract, but could see him extended for one more year)
LB: Balde (21-22), Alex Valle (21), Gerard Martin (23)
CDM: Casado (21-22), Marc Bernal (18)
LCM: Pedri (22-23), FDJ (28), Gavi (21)
CAM: Olmo (27), Fermin Lopez (22), Pablo Torre (22)
RW: Lamine (18), Torres (25-26)
CF: Lewy (37), Pau Victor (23-24), Vitor (20-21)
LW: Raphinha (28-29), Fati (22-23)
To Leave
- Expect both Garcia (24-25) + Lenglet (30) to leave
- Do see Fati leaving, but he's more of a back up for Raphinha so someone like Olmo or Torres can cover for him.
2025 Summer Transfer
- Based on recent performances, don't see the need of too many changes (fingers crossed that this will continue)
- Starting GK would be my number 1 priority
- Club really needs to decide who should succeed Lewy for 26/27 season (whether buying someone like Haaland or trusting Pau Victor or Roque)
Club needs to make a decision/approach soon on what road that they need to go to in succeeding Lewy.Stunning de-escalation in ur concluding statement. Halaand or roque he said lol

Well nobody spoke about getting halaand, but the manager would rather put a false nine there than lord roqueIt is about the club knowing their ability to get someone like that.
Can we spare 100M + massive wage for someone like Halaand or Isak, or we should trust what we have.
As it was stated in the Gyokeres thread, the market is awful for no9. It might not be even our choice.
If Barca gets Haaland we seriously become the new top dog. That has to be the main and only plan. Otherwise use Lewa until the wheels fall off25/26 squad

Well he has plenty of creators to feed him goals in Barça to be honest. Pedri, Lamine, Olmo, Casado... would be a feast for him.Haaland is overrated like all of the other strikers. They only function when players like KDB and Rodri feed them. Kane is way better, just playing for the wrong teams...
Haaland isn't a footballer, he's a goalscorer, big difference. Technically (outside the box) he is really poor, he has poor close control, mediocre passing, can't dribble, awful with back to goal.Yes, it doesn't matter as much if you generate that many chances, but Haaland has never performed great in finals. People rip Kane for that, but I doubt Haaland could've been the strongest player against us.
