Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Riordon]

if Kondogbia buyout clause is at a reasonable price - he seriously should be looked at

Its 80. Would try to offer 50 and see what Valencia say

FDJ-Busi-Arthur trio would be a terrible idea both offensive-defensive wise.
It is just more technically superior version of Vidal-Busi-Raki who will produce the same awful outcome against real top teams.

The thought of that midfield at another Anfield game makes me sick. Its perfectly fine for La Liga though but that not sufficient any longer

It remains to be seen how Arthur and Frenkie compliment each other, but I do believe that Frenkie can play the more offensive/ball carrying cm in our 4-3-3. Busquets is the problem, a true dm would be really nice to have (even if only as a squad option).

No. The thought of that butcher wearing our shirt make me sick. We have Vidal who is far better than Herrera. What we need is more creativity in midfield

Vidal is getting old though ..Herrera has always impressed me .. technically good , tough tackling, cynical

We will have Arthur and FDJ for creativity plus Messi is coming deeper to receive the ball

That's too sensible for moron like Fraudverde

Hopefully his fate is being decided...

I don’t want him sacked .. they should ‘let him resign ‘ ..

Arthur had 2 weakness with us, creativity was one of them.
FDJ is creative for a DM, but not for a CM/AM in addition he always plays too deep.

Arthur was fabulous whenever I’ve seen him almost Xavi like ..
Frankie will have to change his game somewhat and evolve ..

Fabulous for sure. But was never a truly creative player. He averages only 0.5 key pass per game for example which is really bad for a passing CM who is supposed to be creative

I would say it is sacrilegious to even say Arthur is similar to Xavi.
Xavi was a ultimate, complete midfielder.

But he was still able to absorb alot of pressing and pressure from Liverpool, should have played right from the start. He has Xavi qualities, but no one ever said he is at the level of Xavi.

I was also saying style-wise.
They are never similar type of midfielders.
Just because Arthur is short, able to protect the ball under some pressure and has some decent techinique & passing ability, that doesn't mean Arthur's playing style is similar to Xavi.

Juan Mata is linked in now, for free, why not.
