Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Barcaman]

Does Roberto need to surpass Messi as our best performer to finally be accepted as RB?

 

[Devils]

We'll look like muppets if we sign Lichtsteiner.

We give them Dani on a free and then pay to sign the guy Dani replaced.

Christ.

It seems Cancelo is our number 1 target to be Roberto's backup.

Other Options and some good reports Robert has include.

Bellerin

Roberto Rosales (Malaga)

Fabinho (Monaco)

Almany Touré (Monaco)

Adama Traoré (Monaco)-Midfielder

Mendy (Monaco)-LB

Bakayoko (Monaco)-DM

 

[KingMessi]

From that list, Fabinho all day, every day.

Lichtsteiner is not an option! No way!!! This would be beyond stupid.

Srna can be an option but ONLY for 6 months! We can not sign a 34 year old player for longer than 6 months it would be insane!!! Srna was a great player but he is well past his prime so he can be cover up until summer transfer window but that's it!

Maybe we could also ask Cafu if he would be willing to join?!?!?! He is only 46!!!!!!!!! And sign him for 3 years at least!!!!

 

[Raketa10]

We should only consider good options otherwise this would be another "throwing money out of the window" signing, not to mention that we really need proper long-term RB in our squad!

No Cancelo and Bellerin please, I also don't like Liechtsteiner unless we get him on loan until summer. But I think he'd be cup tied for CL so doesn't make sense to bring him. Wouldn't mind Srna on 1,5 year contract.

I wonder what happened with Jonny Castro (he can also cover LB and possibly CB as 5th option) and I didn't see Mario Gaspar linked to us in a long time. Maybe he doesn't want to be backup/rotational player but then again, why are we targeting Bellerin if Lucho really believes that Roberto is our future RB (which I think he does).

1,5 year contract for Srna?!?! He would be 36 in the end of the contract!!! He is really only 6 months option...

This just seem like a list of player that we are scouting along some pure assumptions about who do we prefer tbh.

Other than Bellerin all the names mentioned are back up option for Roberto tbf,Bellerin seem like a name we are saying in case Roberto failed to keep convincing till the end of the season.

 

[Ahmedd]

What do you guys think of Fabinho ? He is doing well with Monaco. And he can play as a DM.

Robert is slightly starting to piss me off with his 22 year olds.

We already bought 6 younger players this summer, and only 1-2 of them look like good signings till now (Umtiti, Gomes).
If he'll sign a 7th kid again and if he'll play as Paco/Denis, well then f*** off, Robert.

In the past we had an obsession with Brasilian youngsters.
Then with Arsenal's players.
Now we will buy 22 year olds all the time.

These directors should look under a word "balance" in a dictionary.
Buy some youngsters, buy some oldies, buy some Brasilians, buy some Arsenal's players, buy some players who don't fit any of these criteria.
Why go full retard only via one route?

Like somebody else already said, all on that list would be backups and only Bellerin is anywhere near as good as Sergi. BUT, even though we have many midfielders in the squad at the moment - I still can't stop thinking about how good Sergi would be as Iniesta's successor.

Tbh Sergi is probably our best midfield backup at this point and the only one you could argue as better is Arda.

Iniestas successor. What the fuck am I reading?

Iniestas successor. What the fuck am I reading?

The guy is very intelligent, great vision and passing, great technique etc. Iniesta is one of a kind, just like Messi - it might take 5 years, 10 years or maybe 20 years before we find somebody who can make as great impact as a midfielder/am as Iniesta.
