Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Andresito]

It is funny reading stuff from the past. Like with Griezmann transfer the Zlatan transfer stunk.

"Eto'o is going to Inter, and Zlatan the other way.

Also, Maicon is leaving Inter and David Trezeguet looks like he might sign for Roma.

I won't lie, i'm a bit perplexed why Barca would want Zlatan. Don't get me wrong he is one of the best all round forwards in the game but why would Barca want to break up something that is going so well. Eto'o is a bit like Van Nistelrooy in that his pure goal scoring ability is taken for granted"

You quoting yourself again?

Barcelona are not only interested in Alberto Moleiro from Las Palmas, they're also following Alex Garcia from the same team. Barca have good reports on both of them and the contacts between the two clubs have already taken place. [md]

Seems we are interested in both those kids from Las Palmas in our pursuit of playing football manager in real life.
Moleiro is the one we are interested in the most, but Sport and MD are describing him in different profiles.
One says he is AM in the mold of Pedri (he is even listed shorter, although height of players at that age is rarely listed accurately) and another saying we are impressed by his defensive work and physical profile.

Anyway, Planes is clearly using his connection with the Canarians and it could be beneficial

Obligatory video...

Nice finish here too.

Don't know much about these kids but not a bad strategy to bring more cheap talent. Especially when you just got Pedri from that same club.

There were also rumours about Williot Swedberg (but they're probably mostly based on him saying in Swedish newspapers that while he's a Valencia fan he would also like to play for Barca which doesn't really mean much as most players would say the same).

Special alert for BBZ here: a tall midfielder who looks like can also score!


I really like the fact we're looking for talents in smaller clubs like Las Palmas and leagues like Austria and Turkey (both Demir kids) but tbh they are mostly midfielders. Would like to see us looking at more forwards of similar profile as we still lack attacking depth/talent both in the first team and Barca B. Ofc doesn't mean we're not looking for forwards just because there are no rumours about them though.

Rumour is that we have actually sent scouts to watch him but he missed a game due to sickness, he seems like a CM/DM type unlike all of our CM/AM we went for.

This was the main comments on all of those rumours, we have been more youth focused recently but it is mainly midfielders with bo under the radar attackers or defenders. Although the Swedish kid seems different that our typical profile midfielders.
But as you say, maybe we are working on some talents we don't know about it yet, also we have signed Abde (a winger) for same price as E.Demir

What do you guys think about Denis Zakaria. He is 24 and his contract will end in the summer. Can play as a lone DM and in a double pivot. Could be an interesting/smart option for Barca next season.

Didn't follow him that much, but his defensive stats are worse than Busquets himself

Just gets worse and worse ..

[TV3 - @orioldomenech🥇] | Bar?a will try to sign Raheem Sterling during the winter transfer window

 

[Mateka]

You’ve signed Garcia and Aguero, Sterling appears next.

 

[iniestaGOAT]

Sterling is a solid player unlike garcia. He would be a great singing but at the same time we should be focusing on Centre fucking backs and cDMS instead.

 

[Andresito]

I don't mind Sterling. It means Luuk will be further from the lineup.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

He would add pace in that slow barca team so i wouldnt mind signing him for a low price

 

[mc_lovin]

City will not sell him for a low price though.

Garcia was still free ffs. No need to hate. RW is the absolute priority for me, then DM.

 

[Bobo32]

I don't mind Sterling. It means Luuk will be further from the lineup.

On the other hand, it would mean Sterling would be closer to the lineup...
And I'm not sure Luuk wouldn't be playing a lot still

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

I dont know but what's up with Sterling? Looks like he lost a lot of weight etc. He doesn't look healthy for some reason. Very skinny.

 

[Messi983]

Top Basque LB talent Yuri has renewed his contract with Bilbao.

We should've signed him to replace Alba...

Fabio Silva on loan with a buy option (don't think Wolves want to give up on him permanently though) would be intriguing to me. I think there is a lot of untapped potential in him, would just need the right coach to unlock him.

I like both Cavani and Mertens but just don't see a point getting another old striker to the club unless we can cancel LDJ loan (probably can't) or send Kun to MLS.
