Barca Transfers and Rumors

[khaled_a_d]

There is some buzz that we want Javi Guerra, and Deco expressed interest to his entourage.

I am not sure for what role tbh, to my understanding he is a versatile midfielder

Also reports of Guerra's teammate Pepelu who actually is a DM.

Valencia bought him for 5m only a year ago. Release clause is now 100m so he won't be cheap.

 

[Messi983]

Reports suggest asking prices for both Guerra and Pepelu are around 20m.

Would need to move fast (probably can't though with our limitations) as Valencia will almost surely sell Mamardashvili to PL for 40m (they've already signed Dimitrievski as his replacement) and then won't need to sell more players.

I see Guerra more as a Frenkie's longterm replacement if he leaves than a DM we need though.

Chelsea have beaten us and Madrid in the race for 17 year old Brazilian fullback Pedro Lima.

Fee = 8m

Pedro Lima - Player profile 24/25

Sangare better anyway, should get him.

And who plays DM for Valencia? Are they capeable to play as a lone pivot?

 

[Messi983]

We won't use a lone pivot.

Pepelu is more defensive minded between the two.

 

[Andresito]

Could've already gambled with Pepelu last year as he only cost 2m more than Oreo. It is what it is.

 

[Porque]

We good in defense

It's the first I heard of him and indeed our interest so no idea of his level.

Gonna have a wee scout now though as I like a good Brazilian fullback.

Though as @Messi983 said, Sangare looks very interested and will come at cost zero.

 

[TheStig]

We won't use a lone pivot.

Pepelu is more defensive minded between the two.

I'm thinking in the future (NOV/DEC 2024) when we have a coach who plays with lone pivot.

No Valencia players.

Had enough of them with stinky Alcacer, Gomes, Torres in recent times.

The sports department is recruiting 3 more players instead of Williams - like more budget options.

3

In short, these guys are led by the sports department:
Antonio Nusa
Desire Doué
Wesley Gassova

Antonio Nusa - they wrote in the comms that he is susceptible to injuries. Yes indeed.

Desire Doué - they write about this kinder that he is not a specialized winger, although he plays on the flank many times. However, judging by the highlights, his speed is in perfect order, including his starting speed, so I don’t understand why he can’t become an elite winger.

The problem is that he has the same agent as Dembele.

Wesley Gassova - you can watch it on YouTube. Relies mostly on power and speed, I found it a bit awkward, especially in ball control.


In short, Williams is, of course, a more proven option, but as I wrote earlier, after watching two full matches with his participation, I began to have doubts about his skills in terms of ball control. It feels like he has wooden feet...

I haven’t watched the full matches of these 3 guys, I’m judging solely by the highlights (yes, I understand that this is not entirely correct), but after what I saw, I liked Desiré’s skills more
