Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Nothanks]

In an ideal world that should have been done over the last 3+ seasons, now we have shitloads of players just taking place or not Barcelona standard.

I agree but I believe we are making strives to fix these issues..

valverde doesn't seem to be a pushover in playing gomes, paco, turan so much like lucho was if we can sell the deadweight it's inevitable that we need to find replacements that'll be the proving point if we've improved in finding more umtiti's and semedos

and avoid the gomes' / paco's turans

 

[PhilS]

Not every new player will prove to be a gem. You win some, others need to be moved on. At this level, the important thing is that the really expensive new players play at least pretty well. The kind-of expensive players (now this level goes up to 40M euros or so), they are bound to be hit or miss.

So, I'm not really upset about Paco. A lot of his fee should be recoverable when he is sold. Backup forward behind L. Suarez and Messi is a bad job, the lack of playing time will destroy almost all players. Now, if Dembele gets injured a lot, or can't meld into the Barca style of play, that would be more of a disaster. Even an Ibra level of disaster.

Coutinho looks to be the style and quality that could start for Barca for many years. Worth overpaying.

We should have signed Zouma this season as Conte is too stubborn to give him a chance and after a few chances he would have benched Pique's ass.

He ended up on loan at stoke and the guy is a physical beast.

 

[Barcilliant]

We need some sort of attacking thrust. Oñce Messi is neutralised there is nobody to score.

 

[Messi983]

We have Own Goal.

 

[Zincubus]

Paulinho

Any chance a new mid comes in the winter? Wish we would have signed Seri. So fucking stupid.

Its stupid.

Lets hope we look at players like Lucas Torreira from Sampdoria. He wouldnt be CL tied.

I second this, however unlikely we'll sign anyone in January.

He could legit be the next WC midfielder in the World. We should be all over it before some other club signs him.

Most importantly, the kind of midfielder we're lacking and very similar to one we chased mindlessly this summer(Verratti).

I agree with you. Except Vidal maybe. I still think he could be ok for us as RW.

Is he? Didn't watch him but some friends I know who watch Calcio kind disagree. They rate him very highly but think he is too defensive for a club like Barca.
He can get the ball back and play the simple pass under pressure etc, but won't create something up front. something we really need atm since only Iniesta who is too old now is capable from our midfielders.
May be he could be paired with Alena for the future though, one is creative and other do the dirt work for midfield

I urge you to not listen to these people. His low center of gravity and great ball control makes him a much more creative player than simply a player who can "do the dirty work and play simple". He plays deep like Pirlo or a young Verratti (not saying he is at their level), but he is able to get out of very tight situations and makes the game flow very well.

Another player with a low center of gravity we really ought to focus our attention on is Malcom from Bordeaux. A Dembele-Messi-Malcom attack look very good to me.
