I rather spend 40mil on a RB which is way more important than having Alcacer as our 4th option vs Munir.

Vidal is in his later 20s and cant defend, he never was a defender. That isn't going to change defensively. Roberto is decent, okay at defending...Poor 1 vs 1 and limited in attack. Okay options, neither are starter material. We need better.

:lol:
Alcacer for 40 M
as our fourth attacker
ahead of Munir
:rofl1:
What's wrong with BF these days :facepalm:

And how good is Florenzi as our RB to you guys?

I think he might be really good for us. He used to be a winger and he is very good attacking wise and also decent defensively. Wonder how much would Roma ask next season?

so basically he's Vidal but a bit better? And you want us to spend 40m on a RB instead of a striker? We already have 2 ( no one counts Douglas ) people who can play RB who we haven't given a chance. But you want us to spend our remaining budget on another RB and go into the season with only Munir as MSN backup? We did that last season and it didn't work out. Enough with the FIFA line ups where you have young promising talents in every position. Florenzi wasn't a RB before either but he was given a chance there and has made that position his own at Roma. That wouldn't have happened if Roma brought a 40m RB without giving him a chance. Let's do the same for Roberto.

his release clause is 80m and he's miles ahead of Munir. Money's a tad to high but is understandable considering his release clause. He'll allow Munir to go on loan and compete at a club without 3 monsters to go up against.
If it's Valencia even better , since we get Alcacer he'll probably become a starter there and could improve the way Denis has.

if the sampdoria match showed anything is that, Arda's best trade for us is as a winger
So there we go, he covers for M and S
Then we also have Denis Suarez
And Rafinha for covers at winger positions
And Munir will cover Suarez

There it goes, the decision to sign Alcacer for 40 M proven redundant.

On the otherhand at RB
Vidal is :shit:
Sergi Roberto. Good defensively but lacking offensively
There it goes,a deficit
Get a RB, such as Florenzi, let Vidal go, or move him to back wingers
Sergi Roberto backs Florenzi and Busquets

We win a treble and live happily ever after

There's also Denis and Arda who can play as forwards. Roberto also will likely be Busquets' backup. He can do that and be the rb backup. Our right side is currently much weaker. Messi doesn't really help in defense, and Rakitic and Pique might be overloaded this season.

Problem is we don't have a CF to rest Suarez or replace him. Alcacer is exactly that. Messi at CF doesn't work for me. Tata Martino tried that and it failed massively. He just lacks the combative side of Suarez. To take Messi from the right and play him at no9 is a bad idea for me. I'd rather have Neymar - Alcacer - Messi while Suarez is out than something like Neymar - Messi - Rafinha.

Alcacer makes sense for us, even at 40m. But it doesn't make sense for Valencia and especially for the player himself. If he's willing to come and help knowing he won't play the key games for quite a while at Barca, then I'm happy with this transfer. Alcacer is probably the best player we can realistically buy as the 4th forward.

Paco Alcacer is more of a scorer than both Arda and Denis. And quite clearly. He's a scorer. The others two you mentioned are not.

Sport and MD are full of shit in that case. They made it sound as if it was almost a done deal. Idiots.

There has been some cases when someone from the club has said that the player is not for sale but the player is sold later on. There is still hope but I already have given up...
