Sport's usual BS. Dybala just extended with Juventus and he won't come as a sub anyway; Verratti is not practical as PSG won't sell; Coutinho and Bellerin are useless for us.

Try harder, Sport.

Coutinhio won't be useless imo. Over the course of the season he is definitely going to prove out to be great. Will significantly improve a lacking attacking threat from our midfield.

Even if he doesn't live up to the hype in his first season, he is definitely going to be much better than any of gomes etc.

85m worth of loans :lol:

If that happens, it'll be such a joke.

I just think we have way too many AMs or players who can play AMs. Is Coutinho slated to replace Iniesta, primarily?

Well, those players need to go because they are just not good enough. A full season is a good enough sample to pass judgement that most of our midfield signings were not good.

Iniesta isn't going anywhere but he is the only quality midfielder we have and he can't play every match. Also he is deteriorating. Another quality AM is definitely needed but not to replace iniesta currently but gradually.

Paco and Digne I can understand...

But Gomes doesn't need more game time, he needs a miracle.

I can't. They need to be sold, not loaned. To think we had grimaldo, Samper and Munir for free makes all that even more disgraceful.

What's the point of loaning Digne? he's our only back up LB. the only reason I could see us loaning him out is if he requests more game time so he can make the French WC squad next year. other than that it would be pointless.

Or loaning Digne out frees up a place for us to buy Theo Hernandez, and if that's the case just sell Digne then and instead of loaning him.

What about Sarri or Setien? Especially the latter, robert is rumored to like him a lot.

Coutinho is not the guy, they should really go for Bernardo Silva.

Not sure about Sarri here tbh,good coach but he isn't a world class one "yet" and it is difficult to warrant that when he is coming from Calcio tbh
I like Setien,he is good and plays beautiful football. But he is kind of same level as Valverde. We have to accept that having history in the club is sort of advantage and my point is you have to be on totally another level to be appointed here without that history (otherwise you won't have same support from media and therefore the board and will be difficult to earn dressing room respect) and the only one I see that have that and available is Jardim. Setien,Marcellino and others are obviously good coaches no doubt.

Hope for Silva too btw

Tuschel is overrated but you would like valverde. Really? Really?.

1-Let's not act like Valverde is bad coach,he is a good one who is really liked and appreciated by Bilbao. He coached the 4th biggest club in Liga history in more games than any other coach and they want to renew him. Has been able to promote and develop youth greatly and got good results in comparison to his squad, Had some up and downs before it but his latest experience with Bilbao is more than encouraging.
2-As I said with Flavia I am taking into account the reality of the situation,not saying that Valverde is better than Sampaoli or Tuschel. But to be appointed for Barca coach and have support from media and board with no history here you need to have a totally different level of success than those guys. That is the situation of the club currently. And it isn't just because of stubborn board/Roberto but such situation has been developed through almost a decade.

Valverde is an average coach at best.

I think the media would be behind any coach who will bring back a certain brand of football, especially a up and coming coach.

If Valverde is the new coach we'll probably play with his 4-2-3-1 formation which will let Messi play in the middle behind Suarez and just in front of Busquets and Rakitic. It'd be Neymar on the left and a new signing on the right.

I think it is more likely that is the direction we are headed.
