Barca Transfers and Rumors

[-_- RandomUser -_-]

What about Arbeloa? I know he retired but if a team like Barca makes an offer, maybe he reconsiders.

Azpilicueta would be a pretty good signing. It will mean S.Roberto will replace Iniesta in mid, and Iniesta will take a Xavi 2015 role for mid: supersub, starter sometimes.

Why do you want him?

because its only good rb who actually we can buy... im tired about these bellerin/semedo rumors and im not sure that they are better

How good is he though?

Not really seen anything of him but just a bit worrying that at moment he seems to be going back to Porto to win his place there. Even with a 25m buy out none of the many teams looking a RB seem interested.

We can do without a RB signing only if we drastically change our defensive strategy. With Lucho many times we lacked the so called teammate orientation, which means that when one player moves in a way his teammates move as well. This is how you obtain a fluid defense which is not based on the individual quality of each player, but on teamwork. A lot of times Roberto did not move accordingly when Pique did, or other players did not move when Roberto did. This created a lot of space for the opponent to use, simply because we did not covered the space in a synchronized way. These things are tactical. If they are sorted out nobody says we can't use Roberto at RB to great effect. We can, but we need great tactics to do it.

Let's see what Valverde has in mind. Getting the pressing back into our game is paramount.

So.....you're basically saying it's okay if we make no signings?

They're not going to get Verratti even if they save that RB money.

he is very good (very similar to alves, playstyle)... best player for nice i would say, better than seri in my opinion. also koziello is very good, young and a cheap player (i would bet for him also but leave 1 more season to nice)

Why is no other club signing him or even really being linked to him though?

I know that is not a defining factor but for 25m in one of the most sought after positions amongst the bigger clubs he would be an obvious target if that good.

Or why is he not in Portugal set up more?

Apparently Evergrande won't release Paulinho till January.

Hope reigns eternal.

 

[Jombi]

just sign ricardo pereira... roberto back to mid and get rid by old useless players. thsts just what we need

I agree. He offers value in the market at this point, compared to the ridiculous fees for Nelsinho. 25m euros, which makes it possible for us to also boost the midfield. Yerry Mina signing should also be accelerated for 10m euros. We obviously dont have so much money so we need to look at possible bargains like we did with Umtiti. Low risk, high reward type of transfers.

I can't wait for January to get him though.

 

[Giginho75]

very difficult getting verratti, but i still have some hope...

if we sign azpi probably roberto returns to play in the middle, but maybe it's not enough...
we need another midfielder yet.

 

[Barcilliant]

We have midfielders but they are mostly mediocre. Buy a world class midfielder and end of.

Fabinho would have been perfect.

Can play DM, CM and RB.

I can't wait for all overreactions here between now and January.

u see thats the problem! we aiming only linked players
... let me ask u something
how wanted was gomes by other clubs and how wanted was umtiti?!?
a wanted/linked player is ALWAYS expensive and overrated

busq-raki-roberto-iniesta is not mediocre midfield...
are you serious?
it's sure we have to improve and to buy a great midfielder, but mediocre is exaggerated...

in your opinion fabinho is perfect?
i have some doubt.
