Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Donatello]

Looks like our transfer business may be over. I can't see any other players coming in.

We'll probably see Paco, Mina and Vidal leave. Hopefully Abidal and Co surprise us.

So, what's wrong. There aren't many good players available for our budget, unless we overspend. Instead that budget could be well spent next year.

We have suitable depth in nearly every position, and for places we don't, La masia should be given a chance. This La masia batch is one of the best in recent years, Alena, Puig, Miranda, Oriol, Ruiz, Cucurella.

We all whine when youth players leave, but no one is willing to give them a chance in the first team.

 

[Donatello]

^ Seems you don't know Perez.

Imagine Malcom becoming a better player than their duo (Rodrygo + Vinicius). Not that impossible, talent aside.

Anyways Malcom is a better signing compared to those two. We had to pay a lesser price, for a more proven player.

Even if Vinicius and Rodrygo turn out to be better than him, it will still be a good buy if he could turn out to be a starter for years to come.

So this is looking like our squad for next season, assuming Paco, Vidal, and Mina will leave

Don't know what formation we'll play, so I used 4-2-3-1 since it fits the best with the current crop of players

Where's Gomes?

 

[Donatello]

Where's Gomes?

Rested, so that he can deliver in important games.

 

[Devils]

It seems like the club was only hell bent on signing FDJ but seeing as he is a bet for the future, waiting one more year isn't going to be the end of the world.

Anyways, the squad already looks pretty decent.

I'm delighted with Malcom signing. Type of transfers we should be making. Potential + European experience. And only 21.

All I'm saying is that it would be fun as hell if despite Real signing every talented Brazilian for enormous money we end up with a better one.

 

[Joan]

Fixed it, under Denis now. But i remember reading EV wants only 22 players so either him or Denis will get limited playing time

With Vermaelen and Rafinha in the squad, it'll be a 21 men group most of the time.

 

[Icarium]

We need to sell two of Denis, Gomes and Rafinha if we are signing a midfielder.

 

[biraboyz]

On Vidal possible signing
Valverde: He’s a player that works well with our style

Denis and Gomes please.

 

[Icarium]

Denis and Gomes please.

Conveniently injured.

 

[soul24rage]

Conveniently injured.

man the chances of both of them being injured at almost the same time in the same game

 

[PhilS]

Xaviniesta, your first 11 is possible, but I think Roberto will beat out Semedo again as starting RB. And Dembele, too, might not make the first 11.

You may as well leave off the depth chart Miranda, Wague, Denis and Gomes, because whether or not they are on the team, they will get zero playing time.

Out of the 19 players, most will play more than one position, so for a high-flexibility team like Barca these depth charts don't work great.

What are the latest on the Senegalese kid?

Is he the one that scored in the world cup.?

 

[raki]

What are the latest on the Senegalese kid?

Is he the one that scored in the world cup.?

Will sign tomorrow. Yes, scored against Japan i believe.

We have too many players.

Need to sell Mina, 2 midfielders and Alcacer.
