What do you guys think of playing 3 at the back if we get De Ligt? Lenglet, Umtiti, De Ligt, with Alba and Semedo as wing backs?
Yeah his injuries are a problem. I think we should have 5 players for the front 3. And these should be Messi, 2 wingers, one CF and then i'd say ideally some mobile striker that can play either on the wing (maybe with Messi in middle) or as an somewhat unconventional 9 in the center.
That would give the coach the most options imo. I think Malcom could stay, not like we're gonna get much better backups for the wing. But if not he needs to be replaced, i think 4 players for 3 positions just isn't enough.
In theory Suarez could be a good nr9 option but i don't think he would accept a bench role so that's not realistic. I think he has to leave but you're right, thats probably just wishful thinking.
Hopefully the board doesn't think it's done with just changing the coach or 1-2 senior players. There needs to be a big cut and most importantly change in mentality. No secured spots for the old guard any longer. Sort of what Pep did. Sell a bunch of old players and then use the first season to replace some more.
Alba? Did you watch Barça since Neymar left? Busi and Suarez is another story. Don't let you fool by 1 bad game from Alba, his timing was shit but he was playing like the best LB the past 2 seasons.One of busquets Alba or Suarez has to go
I think we should wait another year for de Ligt. Midfield and attack should be our priority this summer along with a new manager
1) Sell Rakitic and Busquets. Bring in De Jong and another midfielder like Eriksen, Ndombele, Pjanic, or Kante.
2) Sell Suarez and Coutinho. Bring in two top attackers like Griezmann, Son, Hazard, or Sane.
Or.. Ask you the question 'would De Ligt wait another year for Barça at this stage in his career when big clubs are desperate to have him..'.Wait a year !?
Did you see our defence last night. ?
Jesus
we should sell Langlet, Umtiti then buy Koulibally and De Ligt
we should sell Rakitic, Vidal, Coutinho, Suarez then buy Neymar and Mbappe
and maybe 10 number like Fekir
and also we have to think about Bousquets
as a summary we will have to make some radical changes
i don't care about money cause if Real Madrid can spend 400-500m€ we should spend as well
