Barca Transfers and Rumors

[SeloBarca]

Both the LW and RW should be very quick very good dribblers that supports the striker.
We have Lamine but we have noone on the LW for that.
Raphinha has decent pace but cant dribble for shit.
Lewandowski is way past it and needs to be replaced with a proper finisher with quick acceleration that likes breaking into the box, like Suarez, Eto'o etc. (hows Guiu been doing lately?)
Someone 1.80+ and not some short 1.70 midget
We have Pedri and Gavi (but having doubts about them aswell), so can bring up another youngster from LaMasia as backup together with Gundogan.
DM is a MUST, and no 30+ year washed up player.
Proper RB is also a must, our defence is extremly weak. Roberto and Kounde are horrible at RB.
Cancelo is questionable, his defence is not good.
Araujo is very weak against better oponents and get outplayed over and over against quick players.
Cubarsi is our future CB and need someone good beside him.

...everything was going good until the last 2 points. For starters, there is only one or two players in Europe that can beat Araujo for pace from same start point and if he is not disadvantaged by poor positioning of his other co-defenders. Most times when he is beaten for pace, it is usually because he is trying to cover for someone who lost his sense of positioning or spatial awareness, and that starts as a disadvantage.

Curbasi is very limited for now. I have been saying this for weeks and he will continually be found out more and more as the recent matches(PSG,Madrid, Valencia, and Girona) have shown. He is a hype until he improves. If Curbasi in his current state is the future of Barca's defense, then the club has no ambition. Barca are fond of overhyping any decent talent from La masia. As someone on this forum stated on Curbas's thread, there are numbers of more talented kids in the academies of other la liga clubs but are not playing day in day out because they are not desperate and they understand the need to tutor those kids well before they are thrown to the world

"Nico can play as a 9". Think they were watching the wrong Williams brother

I don't get this Olmo obsession. If he was good enough Real/Atletico would have bought him by now.

 

[mc_lovin]

It’s not like Olmo will happen. It’s the usual, easy to sell summer transfer saga. Just ignore it.

Let's think about who could potentially strengthen the left flank of the attack?

Conditions: Must be a fast, dribbling winger at an optimal age. His transfer fee should not exceed 60 million euros.

 

[M3ls]

Of the available options, I support Niko's candidacy.

If I watched football as much as before, I might have had other options from other leagues.

But I'm worried about Nico's ability to play in tight spaces.

I thought you loved Ferran.

 

[M3ls]

We are sorely lacking speed on the front line.

This is why opponents are not afraid to play high against us, leaving their defenders 1 vs 1 against our attacking players.

Our only player who is great at ATTACKING free space is Raphinha.
Lamin is not such a player; he likes to receive the ball in a standing position.

At the same time, none of our attackers is able to get away from the defender in a large space by dribbling - neither Rafinha, nor Yamal as well. The latter does not have enough explosive speed for this.

Ferran, from my point of view, is a player in the Pedro format. He gives tactical balance, smart movement without the ball. I rate such players highly.

Imagine spending 120mil on wingers to play with Olmo and B.Silva on LW and RW.

Slowest frontline in history

Conditions in this club aren't that. The conditions for a winger are: slow, no dribbling, too old and his fee has to exceed 60 million and in the end Xavi won't play him.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

We should save the money for LW and put Cancelo there

Imagine Balde and Cancelo on left wing, Marcelo/Ronaldo 2.0 🔥🔥

Donkey makes endless stupid runs into "free" space for medium to long inshas. He can't tiki taka to save his life. Yamal receives a lot in static positions because his teammates are too gimpballed to combine with him dynamically.

Yamal doesn't need explosive speed because he's intelligent enough to beat his marker. We can't expect him to beat multiple defenders all the time though, even Messi still the best in the world has amigos and young players who are willing to pass non-statically, non-gimpy, in tight spaces.
