Do you guys think he's good enough to cover the wing positions? If he's crap I guess that Vidal and Denis are there at least
Gérard signed, Tello and Mathieu moved. Been boring summer for all
I am worried more about departures tbf, if Arda was already sold along Vermaelen I would have received this window better
Just as I expect you to say Bayern are better.

And you are wrong.
I don't really rate Bayern
Well, this keep getting worse for each day that passes.
Mathieu was always going to leave and Tello been out of the club.
Deulofeu is meh. He's a signing though so I'll give you that, but I meant a significant signing or sale. Even a RB which they had months to plan for.
If we had signed a RB and sold Arda and Vermaelen then I would have been fine.
Someone got to be held accountable if we flop hard this summer.
Replacing iniesta is more important than rakitic actually, although replacing him would be ideal. I know rakitic lacks the quality to control a game but he is a decent player and can cover for the back four.
Iniesta was way below his usual level and a complete passenger defensively. An actual right back (so important for build up and getting best out of messi as well as defensive issues) and an attacking midfielder are needed.
I have no qualms in giving Palencia a chance but it's risky not getting a RB this window.
If we really don't get a RB this window, I hope Valverde can work his magic on Roberto and morph him into a Oscar De Marcos.
Bayern need World Class wingers yet they keep signing midfielders. Not bad midfielders, but too many midfielders.
