As I said in the Arthur topic, if we bring in Arthur and Mina in the January window + offload Turan (and maybe Gomes), I would call that a success.
Barca Transfers and Rumors

sell turan, rakitic, luis suarez, vermalen, vidal, gomes.
buy martial, eriksen, koke and 1-2 CB (tah, marquinhos, gimenez, upamecano). promote alena, palencia (?). maybe buy another 1-2 young talents...
what do you think guys?? about selling i think we can make a ‘profit’ of 130-150m
this is for summer transfer..
messi in centre with martial and dembele wingers plus mid eriksen, busq, koke will be devasting in my opinion... koke (same profile as xavi, alot of passes, smart mid) and eriksen (similar to iniesta, maybe not as technical like him but also very smart who keep the ball very good, good set pieces and long shot), both underrated players...

Suarez is yet to get his non-eu passport AFAIK so we won't be able to get both.

Martial: 80+ million.
Eriksen: Tottenham won't sell under 200 million as they said.
Koke: 250 million euro clause, Atletico won't sell otherwise.
All together 530 million euros minimally.

Aye, that's why Mina transfer in the summer makes sense. The club is probably waiting for Suarez to get his citizenship next summer.
Still we need a CB, so I'd say fuck it and activate Tah's rumored release clause of 25 million euros.
cmon... if spurs dont take a ucl spot (very likely 6th on the league, they will sell and depends on eriksen aswell). same with atl, griezmann wont stay there another season and simeone aswell (for 2-3 years there is no progression with atl, hes kinda bored i think and want a new challenge, same with the players... this was very close last year to happens).
sorry for my english

I would much rather go for this scenario:
In the winter we buy Tah and Arthur = -75 million
We sell Arda Turan and Andre Gomes = +25 million
(Suarez gets a Spanish passport)
In the summer we test the waters if Liverpool will sell Coutinho for 120 million or less. If not (very likely):
We get Yerry Mina and Thomas Lemar = -100 million
We sell Mascherano, Vermaelen, Vidal and Deulofeu = +40 million
Promoting Arnaiz, Alena.
That way we would get: 2 young promising CB's, a controlling midfielder and a winger midfielder combo. The price: 110 million euros all together (which we have; 60 million from yearly transfer budget, 50 from Neymar).

we have to sell arda and gomes and to buy coutinho for an attack trident with leo and suarez, because deulofeu is good just as backup and dembele' needs some months to have a good shape.
if is possible in january...
for the rest i don't think valverde and board want change too much...specially in january.

When can Suarez get Spanish citizenship? I thought it was only after 5 years and he joined Barcelona in the summer of 2014.

You're welcome
Doesn't Suarez have like EU-citizenship or something? He played for over 4 years in the Netherlands.

I believe it's 3 years. We were looking to get one for NeyNey this year (he was here for 3 years), but he fucked off. Considering that Suarez joined a year later, he should get one next year.

Neymar is Brazilian, they can get it sooner. I don't think suarez can already.

18, 21 and 23 age.
Two of them with zero experience on European soil.
3 of them with zero experience in La Liga.
3 of them with zero experience in Champions league.
Sounds good on paper for fans who like younger players with a potential.
In reality, fast forward 2 years, 2 out 3 of them would be sold as failures.
The 3rd guy would be on a verge of a starter/squad player.
We wouldn't win titles in a meantime, due to too many testing: De Light, Mina, Arthur, Denis, Gomes, Paco, Alena, insert a random new La Masia defender, RB, a winger etc.
Plus Dembele. Who knows whether he will ever fit to our team, and if yes, how many months or years will he need to click with a team and system.
Too many young players. Too much testing. Too much time lost to figure out who is good enough and then months and months to create a chemistry with those who actually ARE good enough etc. (But then, we'll test them with some new gen of new youngsters bought in a year or two).
2-3 youngsters for testing are fine.
Everything more than that smells like Arsenal or any random team who have too much in "a better future" and "the next season is ours".
