Barca Transfers and Rumors

[wisconsincule]

Romero was spot on with transfers last season.

It seems as though he lost his source and is just making shit up at this point.

Is Parejo free? We should not spend anything on his transfer. Laughable

I can genuinely see the Parejo move happening.

To Villa hopefully.

While I'm talking of agencies, sams agent as Gud Ebenin aswell 😇

I think Oriol Romeu would be more likely. But then even that rumour is probably coming out of the fact that Xavi wanted him at Al Sadd a few years back and the papers putting 1+1 together on that.

From Kimmich to Parejo.

This guy Parejo is our shadow every transfer window.

Shows how retarted are people in this area, trying to find unicorn without any reason.

There are no options... unless you want to spend 30m on freakign Amrabat (would be the same for me as 20m for freaking Braithwaite). The 60m+ players are simply not affordable.

Parejo (or similar)+F. Diaz might just be my preference right now.

We are trying to raid Villlarreal although it’s for Pau Torres. Rumour is we are going to trigger his release clause, but think we’ll find it tough convincing him as he’s been linked with Bayern too.

I wouldn’t actually mind Parejo at Villa tbf, although we’ve already got 4 decent players there.

 

[Porque]

He's been good at Villarreal but alot of players tend to be as they are very much a system team playing a tight high pressing (for LaLiga standards) 442 on a compact home pitch.

Not much has changed in their setup and development style since Pellegrini was there.

So I would be doubtful of just how good alot of their system players will end up being outside of the club.

Parejo may well get overrun in England.

Pau on the other hand is good but I think you can do better. He's basically a faster less mistake prone version of Lenglet.

 

[DonAK]

Signing Parejo would be shambles.

Are people seriously in favour of it? Do people not realize that Parejo is the copy of what Busquets at age 34 was, but a much worse player?

You should not simply waste money just for the sake of it.

 

[Barcaman]

Just goes to show there was no planning. Everyone within the club was somehow shocked with Busquets leaving.

Club desperately lacks long term stability. These elections bring with it a lot of negative stuff like politics and nepotism and too much short term solutions.

Look what Madrid is doing. Perez made mistakes but learned. Cares for the club, brought stability and had vision. Also, from a private sector. Guy who knows how to build stuff and not spout fluff for a living like these lawyers.

My hope is that he can play the Schone role for Frenkie for a season. Also no fee+low wages (I assume). We will most likely just play Gundogan, Frenkie, Pedri and Gavi in midfield anyway.

That plus a young talent (still hugely in favor of Diaz) in the hope of surprise and immediate impact (but Parejo taking the edge off).


If we can battle it out for Brozovic then that's obviously preferable, but fuck no to Amrabat.

It’s a shambles, which is exactly why I can see it happening.

Well, let's see how Madrid replace Benzema this season. Right now they are in the same boat as us after losing Benzema to the retirement desert.

Now there is Saudi which has disrupted things paying way over market value for average/decent players making who we wanted to replace difficult. Neves gone to Saudi, Brozovic going to Saudi. That's two guys for better and worse, that we would have replacement Busi with.

Our planning sucked, but the market has also offered no favours thanks to the above. We could also easily go for an upcoming prospect like Fabricio Diaz, Pablo Maia or Andre, but are any ready (if ever) to step into our lineup.

One thing for sure though as Donak said, Parejo would be a backwards step and offer us everything that Busquets done but a tier or two worse, while also being just as old.

 

[DonAK]

My hope is that he can play the Schone role for Frenkie for a season.

Dani Parejo plays with less intensity than even Busquets. He won't match Schöne in that regard. You seem to have the wrong idea of the player Parejo is.

I'm not saying Parejo sucks as he can be a very decent player in the right circumstances, but he's the type of player you need to build your midfield around and have others run for him so he can get to work.

So you have the completely wrong idea of the type of player he is IMO. He won't free up Frenkie like Schöne did. If anything Frenkie would have to run for him to free up Parejo to have an impact.

Won't deny it, I have a pretty vague picture of Parejo in my mind. Doesn't change the fact though that the market for DMs is shambles (in addition to our financial situation).

 

[fergus90]

Parejo is the type of player you’d bring on for 10 minutes to see the game out as he’s very good at keeping possession.

He’ll be 35 next season too.

The smart decision would be either to save the money and not sign anyone and possibly bring Nico back or gamble on a low cost high potential player. I cannot tell you who though.
Honestly I'd rather not have Xavi try to self-destruct again either by starting Parejo(who would be the only pivot at the club in his eyes) in almost every European game we have like he did with Marcos Alonso who alone didn't cost us anything, but certainly made our defence overall much weaker.

Let's just pretend Gundogan is the Busquets replacement
