Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Raketa10]

Eriksen is not CM

In a 4-2-3-1

He plays across the 3 those are not CMs and the central guy is a #10/CAM which for us is Messi

Look I don't think Eriksen would fit us but define CM? In 4-2-3-1 you basicaly have 2 DM and one CAM. The question is not what is he playing now but can he play CM for Barca or not?

Xavi or Iniesta have never played in 4-2-3-1 and I am honestly not sure what would they play. Inesta for sure wouldn't be one of 2 DM (CM) he would probably play LW but he was perfect for our midfield for many years in 4-3-3 formation. So basicaly LW became one of the best midfielders ever. I am not saying this will happen again but if somene plays LW in 4-2-3-1 he can maybe funcion as CM in 4-3-3 if he has right skills for that.

You guys are searching for Xavi 2.0 and that is something we won't find.

Roberto Soriano...What is the point of these types of transfers? The guy is 26 years old. He's not at the required level we need to take us to the next level and he wont get better. Has a decent season for Villarreal and suddenly he's acceptable for us? He'll never be anything other than a passenger for a team like ours.

Laurent Blanc... meh

People want big name coach, and Blanc is the biggest name available in the market right now. That is the reality we have atm

 

[Espacio]

Just buy coutinho and sidibe
i am ok for these transfers

 

[Devils]

Barcelona have made initial contacts with Ex-Barca player Laurant Blanc over the possibility of coaching the club next season. [CatRadio]

Don't know if it is the right place to post it but anyway interesting news.

"Initial contact"

Lucho told these goons last summer that this would be his last season. FFS bunch of idiots...

First off Eriksen has played more as RW, followed by LW and lastly as a CAM this season

And not all LW can be CM

See these players:
David Silva
Thiago alcantara
Gotze
Douglas Costa
Koke
Mandzukic
Arda
Pedro
Willian
Hazard
Neymar

They have all played LW at some point

Can all these play CM?

No

Same applies for Erikssen
He's more suited in the attacking trio than the midfield trio

 

[weloveyuner]

Forget Verratti! He's not coming here. He just signed a new contract that will keep him at PSG through 2021. PSG envisions him as their future. Why would they sell him to us?

That's why I said that he must have right skills. That's also why I think Bernardo Silva or Coutinho could maybe do it. I am not 100% sure but maybe they could. Bernardo Silva maybe more than Coutinho.

Regarding Mandjukic, he is more CF than LW. This is first time in his career he is playing as LW.

People needs to know that the best midfielders (Modric, Isco, Thiago, Veratti ) are not avaliable.

Erikson is not a top class midfielder but he is very talented, and can get a lot better, I'll be more than happy if we can have him somehow. As for the coach if sampaoli is not an option then Blanc is the less harmful choice. He admire the barca way of playing football, and is perfect to manage a super stars team like ours.

So reading that MD article it seems the board are huge fans from Coutinho while Robert sees him more as a 4th attacker then Midfielder(he prefers a CM like Verratti) but in the end a new Coach will decide.
The translations are shit so not sure if i got that right.

You did.

Inb4 Robert brings Bruno Soriano as a CM like Verratti

I'm honestly expecting the worst. Used to be an optimistic person in the transfer season, but it's better to be pessimistic and be pleasantly surprised instead of being hopeful and disappointed by our poor management.

Less stressful

That's true and apparently he want to go for someone who can start right away and improve the team. Don't have high hopes, but intrigued nonetheless.

Want clarity about the coaching situation first though. New coach first please.

I don't understand why they dont have an online English section.
