Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Raketa10]

Ok, about players departures.

Arda---Turkey. Tomorrow/Today. Loan.
Deulofeu----Inter? This winter? Price about 12-15? Mil
Vidal----Sevilla. This winter? 10-12mil?
Mascherano----China? This winter surely. 10mil?
Rafinha----Loan to Celta, this winter?

I believe gomes will stay at least till summer, the same for Denis. Is this it?

I just hope they won't loan Deulofeu! He had his chance so sell him, there is no point to loan him again! The only loan which makes sense is Rafinha since no one will buy him as he was injured for to long. I hope we can sell him in summer for decent amount. Regarding Arda we need to sell him otherwise he will be back in summer and than we'll have to put up with him for 2 more years!

 

[Giginho75]

He's only 20 and after running rampant in France at 18 , Germany at 19 ..

I'm certain given another 5 games he's gonna be immense .

You could see the improvement during yesterday's game

i hope...
for sure he's a great talent and he need of some weeks (i already wrote it in the previous post).

 

[BarçaBarça]

I really hope we can pull some money out of our transfer-deals, and not end up loaning everyone out.

We should be able to press a few clubs to pay for Denis/Gomes/Vidal/Deulofeu, whereas with Rafinha and Turan it is logical that clubs want to see what kind of state they are in, so loan with buy-out is fine, as long as they pay all of their wages. We should wait to sell Paco in the summer, he is a good backup, and we wouldn't get full price because of his injury.

 

[Nucky]

You think we will really go for Griezmann in the summer? His clause is 100M since 1st of July..

 

[Devils]

I absolutely think we are going to sign him.

1) We will surely need a new starting striker ~2 years time when Suarez can't do it anymore.
2) Market is inflating at a ridiculous rate and who knows what the price of a top striker will be in 2-3 years time.

Paying 100m for him this summer (which is already kind of a bargain in this market) will definitely be worth it economically and sporting wise.

Think we will try to rotate him and Suarez next season and then maybe having him as our main striker in the second year and have Suarez as a sub (he will be 33 at that point).

Imagine what a statement it would send out if we bought Griezmann in THIS window !!

We have players to offload and they keep saying that we can always 'dip' into next season's transfer fund ...why not ??

 

[DonAK]

We cannot sign Griezmann this window. His buyout is 200m right now.

if we could deal with Atleti it would be a great statement, im still seeing PL fans saying 'but Barca are broke!' he would be CL tied though and while resting Suarez in la liga might sound good he needs to play and get his form up for the seasons finale

Winter transfer window:

Now, this might be an unpopular opinion, but I would leave Alena in the B team until the last phase of the league. I honestly believe that he would help Barca B in the relegation battle more. If he comes into the 1st team he will probably only get 10-20 minute stints in games. Give him a couple of full games at the end of the season and then the whole pre-season with the 1st team.

Arnaiz should be integrated now.

4-3-3 Hybrid (RW is RM when defending)

GK - MATS, Cillesen
RB - Semedo, Roberto
CB - Pique, Umtiti, Vermaelen, Mina
LB - Alba, Digne
CDM - Busquets, Rakitić, Roberto
LCM - Coutinho, Iniesta, Gomes, Denis
RCM - Rakitić, Paulinho, Roberto
RW - Dembele, Arnaiz, Denis, Paulinho (free advanced midfielder, if playing 4-4-2 diamond)
CF - Messi, Suarez, Paco
LFW - Suarez, Paco, Coutinho

In - Coutinho, Mina
Promoted - Arnaiz

Out (no fucking loans) - ARDA, Vidal, Deulofeu, Mascherano

On loan - Rafinha

I would send Rafinha on loan, so we can see if he can be injury free for a period of time.



If we can do that, that would be a hell of a transfer window.

Braida already signed Griezman for us in July 2018. We just need to wait until then and he's hours. It's as inevitable as the passage of time.

 

[raki]

Gomes is staying. Arda, Mascherano, Deulo and Vidal out.

Rafinha on loan to get play time. He needs it.

So guys, what is your one ideal controlling CM?

For me Lucas Torreira is the one so far. Has anyone watched Youri Tielemans enough to see if he suits us?

I watched Tielemans alot before he went to Monaco and have seen some of the Monaco games. Tbh, he's not ready yet to be a starter at a team like Barcelona. He couldn't impress yet at Monaco and needs to develop more. He's injured at the moment, and i even think he won't play this season anymore?

To be honest, right now there are only 2 controlling CM players in the world who are good enough for Barca. (I don't count those from Real)

1. Verratti - that's never going to happen so we can forget about him
2. Thiago - he is great but unbelievably injury prone and I don't think Bayern would sell

Appart from those two I don't see anyone right now who could get in our starting lineup immediately. IMHO we should try to develop Alena and stick with current midfielders until we find someone who is good enough or we might end up with another Gomes.
