Barca Transfers and Rumors

Guys,media love to sell papers. Monaco players won't get them headlines. Coutinho,Verratti,Marquinhos will.
I have seen those lists for almost a decade and half following Barca rumors online. I have never seen them being true. Not a single time in my life.



I agree with most of what you said,but I am starting to think Theo rumors might make Alba available.
He isn't good as he was and he is starting to complain,there is very few top LB in the world so he can actually get us a decent fee while he is 28. I don't think this season Digne looked much of a downgrade than Alba tbf and Theo might be the best young LB in the world atm.

As for 4-3-3 .Coutinho can work in it tbh as Iniesta replacement. But that will need Messi to shift more on the right. A dynamic AM like him alongside a true RB and Messi shifting a little to right side could get us the best out of midfield to some extent

That said I am totally favoring Messi to be AM next season,I just don't see him ever turning into RW again and for that I prefer Silva too. could be wrong though

Why should Theo rumors be true and not all the other rumors? Who are you to say that Henrichs as a target rumor is true, Coutinho rumor is not true?

I didn't say Theo rumors is true and I still think it is more likely bs.
Tell me one time a list like that turned true? And I didn't say Henrichs rumor is true (Haven't even talked about the guy ffs) nor I said Coutinho rumor isn't. But seeing those rumors for so fuckin long I can see that there is always 90% chance that those are media bs. Same time last year we thought Mustafi is our CB target,we have been linked to Marquinhos again,T.Silva rumors resurfaced, and the list goes on and on.

They could all be true or none could be true. Who knows? To claim its all BS and then treat the Theo rumors as if they are true just doesnt seem logical. I certainly dont buy the theory that the reason we are not linked to Monaco players is because it doesnt sell papers.

Of coaurse it isn't logical,that is why I don't treat Theo rumors as true. Always called it a rumor,also said many times it probably a bs. So I am not sure why such reply for me.
We have been linked to Monaco players during the year like Sidibé, Mendy, Silva, Mbappé ,Fabinho, Lemar yet you yourself and many other will always comment about Coutinho and Verratti?
Hell in same article it may have big list but fron page will have those players
We are linked to 50-80 player annually (I did the count many times before) , but they won't be the headlines or the persistent rumors. Why it is always guys like Verratti,T.Silva & Marquhinhos?

Theo rumors can be as true as Coutinho rumors. They are all on the BS list. Thats all I'm saying. They might both be our targets or they might not be.

Thiago Silva and Marquinhos will always be our target until they retire. Everyone knows this.

Theo rumors probably the only with some substance here.

It's reported by three sides. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético.

Chances of it being rubbish are slim when all three sides with people close to the clubs are confirming each other.

That's how it works. When a rumor is confirmed by both sides, from two usually reliable sources, it's legit.

All what I am saying that people need to relax a bit about those articles and rumors. People should neither get their hopes high or curse the board based on it.
Honestly -and I have no proof for that- I believe that clubs at this point are still assessing their options. There is a reason many deals are made in last day of transfer market. Club might have interest in 50 player or 5 players for all what we know, but what matters is who we actually try to buy.

That´s just a list with all the Players we have been linked with this last week by Sport,Md and some english BS. :lol:
That´s why players like Walker,Marquinhos and Eriksen are there.

Also Coutinho's, I'm afraid.

I'm not sure about that tbh.

Only trash press like The Sun, Mirror claim that we absolutely want to sign him. Will wait until some more prominent Liverpool journalists report it.

A lot of time though. Most will be done from June and onwards.

How come we were linked with Isco, but we aren't linked to Bernardo Silva, who is a very similar player and only 22, while also playing for a selling club? He's the best option for a ball playing midfielder who is young and can be signed.

Get Silva, get a RB + Deulofeu and we are ready to go. Keep Mascherano for 1 more season, sell Mathieu, promote Alena and Marlon if possible and sign Davinson Sanchez in 2018 as well.
