Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Barcaman]

Brozovic is quality and would probably be best to replace Busquets short term.
He has the stamina, grit and technique. Can go berserk sometimes.

Woould be nice short-term but we also need to look for younger options.

 

[Porque]

Tbh would rather bring back Abde from loan (if we have that option) or give a chance to someone from Barca B if needed.

If/When fit Lewy and Dembele will start most games and then we have Ansu, Raphinha and Ferran to rotate for the last spot. And also Gavi/Pedri as false wingers or additional midfielder if we'll play this system more often.

No need really to replace a 6th option forward with someone worse than him and also injury prone.

I'd personally leave Abde to brew in Osa for a few seasons. Or even better (if possible) loan him to a BL club so he learns to play with a rocket up his ass.

He is a great dribbler [on his day] but plays way too passive. I wish he just learned to get the ball and instivly know when to drive and when to layoff. Not do any of this Adama stop and wait for the defender to commit before an attempt to dribble.

So yeah, wouldn't feature much if he come back at all.

But reading another thread, it would be better to use the cap excess to just get Balde or Gavi registered. Then maaaybe as a 6th attacking option we could look at Estanis, Barbera or even Fabio Blanco (or that Argentinian joining) if needed.

Not sure how reliable but huge if true.

This is good news tbh, he is one of their biggest talents.

Edit: Original news were translated wrongly. It meant 3 transfers ,for Velez, worth millions.
His release clause is 15M $

From what I heard and know, Prestianni is a big big talent.

Glad to see the club being proactive in getting talents like this.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Type of players we should sign yes and not a bad price.

Real Madrid are in for him as well, any good news?

Looks like this will be the trend in the future. Other European teams will look at swap deals to combat EPL as there is no way they can afford the transfer fees. Just look at Chelsea's spending. Apparently they want Caicedo and Trossard too.
Brozovic would be good short term. What do Inter fans think of these deals.

 

[vuji_31]

How can they spend 500mil in season, and now want to spend even more, like 100 more and not have problems with FFP?

 

[JamDav1982]

Chelsea have generated a lot of pure profit sales with youngsters and reality is can probably do the same in the summer while will try to sell quite a few of their first team.

They are also giving the players long contracts to reduce yearly impact on FFP.

Nasser is about to buy Liverpool supposedly.. expect it to get even worse soon as Liverpool will be at it also.

 

[Barcilliant]

Time for UEFA to step in and make at least 4 or 5 players have to be home grown players. They should define home grown as being at the club from age 13.
This is ridiculous. No other clubs in Europe can compete.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Danilo Oliveira apparently on his way to Nottingham Forest for 18m despite Monaco also being interested but their offer was lower (13m according to L'Equipe).

[Deco]

Any news on Arnau Martinez?

 

[Porque]

Viktor Tsyankov to Girona for 5m. Super solid signing from them (or Man City- or whatever).

Talked about him in summer. If you want someone on the right wing and whip in balls like Xavi has Raphi, then he is your man for a tenth of the price.

Let's see how he does in Spain.

 

[Birdy]

So the Atleti fuckers are playing hardball and refusing to accept a fee for Memphis or give us Carrasco, who would be massive at LW for us
It's the same fuckers that didn't play Griezman to not pay the 40m clause after doing us dry with the 120m transfer

Let them FO then, and see if they manage to finish top4 without Felix
We will see then even if Memphis wants to join a non CL team

 

[JamDav1982]

My guess is Atlet are more up for this deal than letting on and wont want to wait until summer for Depay.

Both team coud do with the case on the books by adding some 'value' to their fees on a swap.
