Yeah right. It's not because of the neymar transfer that all clubs are suddenly rich and can spend 150M for one player.

Stop panicking. He has to say that. If he said we will spend 300 mil everybody would demand 150+ for any player we are after.

I believe Inigo is done deal but I don't see Seri happening.
I would be more than ecstatic if we sign Coutinho and Dembele. Those two should be our top priorities!
I've just watched a YouTube clip of Seri and he looks decent but YouTube can make rakitic look as good and like xavi. Playing for nice is alot different to playing for a giant like Barcelona. Takes a huge amount of mental strength to play with a giant of football. He might be worth a go for no more than 25 million
I think Martinez, Coutinho and Dembele will close this summer intake. Outgoing transfers are as important as ingoing. We need to start
selling smarter.
If first statement is confirmed we ll have:
5 FB: Douglas, Semedo, Vidal, Digne, Alba
6 CB: Pique, Vermalen, Santos, Umtiti, Mascherano, Martinez
10 MF: Samper, Gomes, S. Roberto, Rafinha, Iniesta, Arda, D. Suarez, Rakitic, Sergio and Coutinho (?) + Alena (i would keep him with first team)
6 forwards/wingers: Suarez, Messi, Dembele (?), Paco, Deulofeu, Munir
This means 28 players+ 2 GK.
There is a huge surplus in MF area and we could also cut 1 or 2 CB and 1 FB. GK and forwards would be nicely covered for this season.
We can easely sell 5 or 6 players. Douglas and Vermalen are obvious.
Than we have a choice beetwen Arda, Rakitic, Rafinha, Gomes, Munir and D. Suarez.
Arda is also a no brainer, which leaves 3 more.
As much as i like Rakitic, i think this is the moment to sell him. He is not the control type MF which we need and there are better work horses out there, including our team (S. Roberto). Since he will be 30 next march
this is the time sell high and actualy make some profit on him.
For the remaining 2 out of 4, i d just consider best offers on the table.
I think this sells can easely net us 60mil+, which would cover Semedo and Martinez. Coutinho and Dembele are covered by Neymar s money, meaning we have original transfer money left +(much)leaner salary budget.
All in all good bussines.
I expect better Barcelona next year. Partialy due to new coach (wasn t Enrique s biggest fan) and partialy due to fresh blood.

Seri for 20m is a pipe dream.

Add 30m to Couthino, 20 to Dembele and 15 to Seri. Thats 65m more then what they hope...
Inigo will be added to that never ending list of silly signings for CB. What is the point of signing a 26 year old for a huge fee who isnt good enough and who we have no competition for? No club is looking to buy Inigo at his age. Yet, we are preparing to make such an average player a record signing?
Maybe Valverde wants to switch between 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 during the season depending on the opponent.
If we sign coutinho and dembele we still have a weaker starting eleven than last season when we had iniesta and Neymar in those positions. The only way we will be stronger is with those two and a world class midfielder on the right. Since verratti is out of the question I can't see how will get stronger unless Roberto or Samper really step up big time or try Seri for no more than 30 million
