Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Vilarrubi]

Hard to say if Gomes has been worse than Turan. Turan was very good before Barca, so it was amazing how unsuccessful he was with our team. But Gomes has had more Barca playing time, which has been so very painful to watch.

Gomes worse for sure!! Turan was okay in some games.. Gomes showed nothing at all in over 70 games for us.

Yeah every year we are talking about same players .Then the board can't buy them and then we have Gomes and Arda.

50 million from Paulinho is massive if we can sold Cillesen for 30,Rafinha 25,Mina 25,Gomes 20 , Marlon 15, Vidal 5 that is more then 150.
They can buy Eriksen for that money.

Would love to see Pogba in Barca . But thats not realistic.

I am hoping for Eriksen.Verratti is also option but I would not love him anymore.

 

[Mrgandalf]

I expect Arthur and de jong to be the combination we want for the future. And I hope that happens. Years after Messi will not be easy. Especially in the current way.

Rakitić is the best as a CDM, so no way in hell he should be used as a RM in 442. Pogba is a waste of money.

 

[FC433]

We are looking for a replacement for Paulinho and we might sign another CM if both Gomes and Rafi leave. I think that is a bit too many and will hurt Alena and Arthur's development.

For me one more CM is enough, I do not even think we need any new CM, but I would not mind if we sign one.
Unless we plan on getting rid of Samper and bringing De Jong instead. That is a bit harsh though, Samper deserves one season at Barca.

I believe we should get an attacker. We cannot rely on Messi and Suarez only. Dembele still needs time.

We should honestly get rid of Gomes and Denis too and sell Rafinha as he want to leave and play regularly.

We've given Denis enough time to flourish, he hasn't.

Buy a midfielder and a forward that Valverde will and can rely on. I don't see a future for Samper at Barca which sucks given he stayed despite having offers from overseas.

Exactly.

LW Suarez/Paco Messi/ Dembele

Coutinho/ Alena Rakitic/ Arthur

Busquets/ Samper

Alba/ Lucas Umtiti/ Ver Pique/ Lenglet Semedo/ Roberto

Stegen/ Jasper

All we need is a LW and maybe buy De Ligt and De Jong loan them back right away.

 

[DonAK]

would someone please tell me why are we not after boateng ? dude is not even 30, he is in the perfect age and style would definitely suit us.

Probably because Bayern want a lot of money for him and his injury record the last 2-3 seasons is scary.

 

[Barcilliant]

We need a b2b midfielder with physicality who can break parked buses or we need the energy and drive of a Kante.

Buying players who are similar in skill set is stupid. I'm still convinced that Busquets not Rakitic is our weak link in midfield. Also people seem to have given up on Roberto as a midfielder???

 

[manuel blassi]

I know De Jong is not improven jet, but i believe he is exactly the TYPE of player we need: dribbles, glides past player with movement, something others (Busquets, Arthur, Rakitic) dont offer. Nothing wrong with them, but we need different approaches, and they are the STATIC ones. Something similar is offering Coutinho, but he has too weak physic to be CM.

Busquets(Arthur)-Rakitic(Rabiot/Thiago)
Dembele---------Messi----------Coutinho
--------------Suarez----------------------

Change formation from 4231 with Suarez to 433 without him

Busquets(Arthur)
Rakitic(De Jong) Thiago (De Jong)
Dembele Messsi Coutinho

or

Busquets(Rabiot)
Rakitic Arthur/De Jong
Dembele Messi Coutinho

That would be very good in my opinion, but thats what we gonna do:

We will only buy Thiago/Rabiot, and give Sergi Roberto more minutes in MF.

So we will play with Busquets, Rakitic and Thiago/Rabiot,
Arthur will be ther first substitution, Sergi second, and split roles between Alena and Denis for 3rd subs role.
