I would have been very happy keeping Neymar and getting verratti this summer. That would have been good enough for this season seen as we have Semedo as well. But now the board definitely have to spend all the money they have. Neymar's replacement needs to be a big one and we now need two midfielders to make up for Neymar's loss. One of those to learn from the still brilliant iniesta

Just get a decent replacement. Solving the midfield and team play is much more important and then they depend less on an individual action.

Sergi Roberto is a new addition to midfield.

Coutinho and Dembele must be priorities.

I totally agree. He has a great mentality. I can't remember a moment where Hazard ever complaint against the referee after, yet again, a harsh tackle. One of Neymar his weaknesses is that he loses his cool and then gets booked with a yellow or red card (remember Malaga). This would never happen to Hazard. And people who refer to the previous season (2015-2016) where he didn't preform. He played that season with an injury and that season is proof of how good Hazard is. Because it shows what Chelsea is without Hazard... an average team. So for me Hazard would be a fantastic transfer.

Hazard deliberately slowed down on pitch when he was unhappy with Mourinho, didn't he?

This is concerning, at least, if true. Neymar (and also Messi) play hungrier when they are pissed, instead of taking easy.

I like him and he is a decent player to replace Neymar, but this "great mentality" thing does not convince me at all. It's actually where I worry about him.

Okay, I'm going to play FM but I'll try to be realistic. Forget Verrati, Hazard, Griezmann and even Mbappé who should prefer Real.

With 300M to spend (222 + 80 of the remaining budget of 2017) would try 3/4 players.
To the place of Neymar i choose Dembélé. He has all the qualities of Neymar. Finishing, technique, decision making, passing, crossing and game vision. In some of these areas he´s not so good but it's still 20 years old. He's the closest to Neymar I know. 80M thus shooting into the air.
Then to the midfield I choose two players: Coutinho or Eriksen for Offensive Medium and then someone much cheaper but that in my opinion undervalued: Seri. You can laugh at ease, but Seri is not as far behind Verrati as you might think. 40M in Seri, 100M in the Coutinho or 80 in the Eriksen. I do not think it's lunatic.

The 4th would be Insigne. Last season he showed everything we already knew: amazing on the two wings but was irregular and inconsistent. Last season he was not. He was very regular and along with Mertens ihe was great in 90% of the games. Napoles sells expensive, I know. 70M.

Well: Coutinho, Seri, Dembelé, Insigne makes about 300M.
I would sell 3 players of this lot (Rafinha, Gomes, Arda, Denis Suarez, Samper, Munir, Vermaelen). Arda and Vermalen upfront. And with this extra $ try an extra central defender because I think Marlon is still green and Mascherano is not going to get any younger.

Stegen-Cilessen

Semedo / Vidal Pique / Marlon /? Umtiti / Masche Alba / Digne

Busquets / Samper / Gomes


Rakitic / Seri / Gomes Iniesta / Coutinho (Eriksen) / Denis Suarez


Messi / Rafinha / Insigne Suarez / Alcacer / Munir Dembele / Insigne / Coutinho


PS: Robert will fuck this up.

Interesting opinion buddy, but I would not sell Samper... yet.

Robert will fuck this up because hes dealing with real life situations like the wants of the players and other factors such as the club itself not playing FM.
I agree with Dembele, although hes not a replacement, he'll be the closest we can get this summer. However, Coutinho , Erikson and Insigne are all not happening. Not just the fact that thier clubs will not sell them and they dont have release clauses we can pay, it's likely that Eriksen and Insigne wont get to play at Barca. Why would they leave their starting positions at UCL clubs to play on the bench here?

I feel that although Coutinho is really good, hes just a better version of Denis. Coutinho would cost an excess of 100m and even then I feel like Liverpool wont sell him. We have very few options left. Give Denis a chance, buy Dembele and lets hope the players we brought last year can step up this year.
