Barca Transfers and Rumors

Yes. Guarantied investment. But that is my logic only, sorry.
Players peak usually between 27 and 29. You in essence buy players to win champions (though recently for marketing reasons mainly).
Let me ask you a question. Do you regret us buying Suarez? That was a smart buy, same as Griezmann's literally.

The market isn't going to be 'reasonable' anymore - sugar daddy clubs and even fucking state owned clubs went way over the top. We weren't prepared for this, a better board would have - we should have had real young prospect with huge potential signed and loaned out for almost all positions, like many other clubs do. We should have some real scouting in place - do we actually have any scouts or do we just give some people shitloads of cash for picking obvious players like Arda (who later on decides that he doesn't give a f about playing no more). Now we're caught with our pants down and even though we have the Ney money we still can't fucking negotiate for a player we want - strange that Real and many other clubs zero in on a target and get their man, and we go for scrubs.
I haven't been this pessimistic about Barca in a while. We need somebody who can replace Iniesta next season - one of the greatest cm's/am's ever. We need another wc mf, maybe Roberto could be that player - but even though he's very good his likes miles of prime Xavi and Iniesta, not even close. We need a wc lw. We need some bench/rotation players - not half decent players like Paco, Rafinha, Vidal. Shit, this is going to get worse before it get any better...

i've seen it all now.. don't need to spend shit 
people suggesting Draxler Cuadrado 
whats next.. Deulofeu as Neymars replacement?
look at what happened to our midfield when we signed average players to replace Xavi.. we have Arda who we cant get rid of and players like Gomes running around
a worldclass player who can play LW is a MUST at ANY cost this summer.
things will get even worse after a World cup year, its now or never.

In all honesty, for this year we only need someone to fill Neymars shoes. That is it.
We lost the league last season. Madrid did not win it.
Madrid are even weaker this year with Zidane over relaying on the youngsters. No experienced replacement to Pepe and Morata.
If we get a decent LW (not even the best out there), then we have the odds to win the league.
Panic as much as you want, there are more competent people than you and me managing the club.
You guys have clearly forgot the essence of football. You dont need all those sexy players to achieve something, you need a good manager and players that are willing to obey and give their A game.
Liecseter City won the league not so far. Atletico Madrid is another example.
Honestly I am addicted to this summer transfers drug, my fault, but you guys are pessimistic and depressing as fuck.

If I read it right we want Coutinho and things are advance despite Klopp not wanting to sell him.

Ah come on, the incompetence in our signings has been so obvious the last decade - Chygrynskiy, Douglas, Song, Hleb, Keirrison, Vermaelen, Ibrahimovic, Gomes, Paco and some more. The only player of those mentioned that would be any good for us was Ibra, but we managed to fuck it up because of stubborn Pep.
We're probably also the worst club when it comes to selling players - embarrassing!
Someone asked him if Barca want to sign Coutinho and Dembele.
He replied: Yes, and it would be very well advanced for Coutinho despite Klopp not wanting to sell him.

Gotta lol @ Klopp.
Not sure how he can expect to hold onto Coutinho after he failed miserably to make key signings this window and came out today and admitted that Lovren of all people would be the starting CB this year.
On the other hand Coutinho is being offered a starting position at Barca.
Klopp is just clowning around at this point in desperation.

I know its useless having an objective opinion in this forum since it is infested with like minded people, but I will give it a try.
I would say that last season the players that have held the team more or less are:
Stegen
Umtiti
Pique
Neymar
Messi
Suarez
4 of those 6 names are players we have signed in the past 4 years or so. So logically Barcelona have also managed to purchase good effective players.
And before a little noodle comes in saying that some of these signings were made under a different management, my answer would be that is not the point.
