Barca Transfers and Rumors

Griezmann would be my first choice as offers more that suits playing with Messi than Dybala in my opinion.

Sanchez wont come. Will get offered more money elsewhere and dont think he really would be that keen to come back as he has played his best football away from Barca with more freedom.

Agreed with Griezmann. I'd make him priority no1 for attack. Not sure Sanchez won't come, but it's no problem if he doesn't.

The rumours are that Sanchez is getting offered 30-40m signing in fee and 400k a week wages. Barca wont go near that and think he would choose City anyway all things being equal.

We will sign Yerri Mina, so Gimenez is not needed. Goretzka is good we should sign him. Dybala would cost too much, possibly close to 200m. I'd rather sign Griezmann for 100m if that is his buyout. Sanchez on a free is also an option for me. As are Coutinho, Lemar and Seri.

Do you think Mascherano is staying next season? I really doubt it tbh and hopefully he will want to leave. it is time to be proactive in the market rather than keeping players until they are completely useless. Next summer should be the one to tell Mascherano (and Iniesta,but that is another debate) thank you for your service,but your time is up
If this is the case, we need 2 new CB,Mina isn't enough. And I highly doubt we will have our 3 non-eu players as subs (Marlon,Mina & Paulinho) and non of them will get eu citizenship in the near future either.
A new CB is needed, Gimenez will likely get his Spanish citizenship before next year. I would prefer one of him and Stefan de Vrij to become the 3rd CB rather than paying 30M for Martinez.
He is still young enough to learn Barca on ball defense

Griezmann buyout is rumored to be 200M now btw

Goretzka? Don't mind him, but I want midfield sorted first. We have too many players but few quality ones. If we are up to a major clean up then I won't mind him

Griezmann buy out is reported to drop to 100m next summer.

We need 6 forwards
our starters are Messi, Dembele, Suarez
substitutes are denis suarez, deulofeu, paco

We need 7 midfielders:
our starters are Iniesta, Rakitic, Sergio Busquets
Substitutes are Turan, Rafinha, Paulinho, Gomes, Sergi Roberto

We need 2 Leftbacks:
Starter is Alba
substitute is Digne

We need 2 Rightbacks:
Starter is Semedo
substitute is Vidal

We need 4 centerbacks

Starters are Pique, Umtiti
substitutes are Mascherano, Vermaelen

We need 2 Keepers:
Starter is Mr. Freeze
Substitute is Jasper

that's a 23 man squad

the ones in red are the ones that should be sold and replaced next summer
Mascherano will most likely leave, sergi roberto seems to want to move on and be a starter elsewhere

(an ideal squad would be)

starters:
-----Griezmann---Messi-----Dembele
---Coutinho----Sergio Busquets----Seri
-Alba----Umtiti----------Pique-------Semedo
-----------------Mr Freeze

subs:
---D.Suarez-----Luis Suarez-----Deulofeu
--------Iniesta-----Leon--------Alena
--Digne-----Marlon----Yina--------????
------------------Jasper

Paulinho will #23 be tactical player not a starter nor direct substitute but for certain matches or when we need a goal late in the game.

After Neymar deal it was said that his buyout now is 200M. Don't know if it was just for 2017 summer only or afterward too

No it was only for this summer since Atleti had a transfer ban and wanted to minimize the risk of losing him as they wouldn't be able to get a replacement. It's back down to 100m in the summer of 2018.

It is 100m from January but no club is paying it at that point and doubt he would move then anyway.

What do you guys think of Martial btw? I think he could come cheaper than Griezman and I think he could blossom here as LCF we are now playing

Would have to pay big money for him and not sure he works hard enough to have in a team with Messi.

Cant see Man Utd selling him to Barca even if they dont rely on him much.

Great ability though.

If could get Soler and Griezmann next summer and offload likes of Deu, Vidal, Paco then would be a big step up and good options.

Doubt Soler would come to be a bench player though.

Forward and a midfielder next summer are a must. CB is not that urgent. Pique, Umtiti Mina and Marlon would do a season.

You think both midfielder and attacker we will get will both be from Europe? Because Mina & Marlon eliminate any chance of getting a South America player for almost 3 year (unless we unload one of them or Paulinho)
That is assuming Suarez will get Spanish Citizenship in time
