Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Messi983]

BTW, does anyone know how much of the variables did we get?

On 27 June, the move was made permanent by the club as they paid €8.5m (+ €7m in variables) to Barcelona.

RB is the position we have been constantly linked to in 2025.

Mingueza, Ratiu, Hilali, Pubill, Vanderson, Wesley & Dodo have been all mentioned in the press.

Still would love Ratiu but Dodô is an interesting possibility despite not having played in Spain - both similar age but different strengths

But honestly I can’t wrap my head around having a player in our squad named Dodo

Was just wondering, with Casado being fit and people witnessing Eric being Okayish on RB.
I don't think we will be looking for an RB. Casado is supposed to be a mini Kimmich, and a pretty good one at that.

We probably will look for an LB or see if Flick fancies Valle when he returns from the lone stint.
Sad times.

Very good post and suggestion.

The U19 RB, Xavi Espart, is another one of those. Midfielder like Casado converted to RB. He is actually a very solid midfielder too.

So while we don't have any RB with outstanding potential coming through (well, Nil Teixedor is interesting, RB for Spain youth categories), we do have a couple of very interesting system options coming through in Casado and Xavi Espart.

These full backs are just not worth the potential upgrade to what we already have, for how much they will cost.

Is Ratiu really 20m better than Fort or Casado at right back? Is Vanderson 40m better? No.

Stick with what we have. The only value for money full back I've seen mentioned is Ming the Merciless Mingueza.

Promote Torrents to cover the left side, maybe he will surprise us.

Save every Euro for the guy that will improve us in a big way.

Landry is also a more natural RB, than any of the 3 positions he plays across the defense.

They were starters that was problem.

Who?

If we want, he can be had for close to Olmo money. Which we should be able to generate this year aswell.
I want his Aura in our club. We will recuperate his transfer fee by just selling that poster alone. And believe me, he will be the hype we needed.
No other player has this Aura and can generate hype like that. Not Isak, Not Sesko.

We wont be in a financial loss, after signing him. I can guarantee it.

We tried to sign him before he went to Fiorintina if my memory serve me right. And yeah, his name is funny 😁

Eric isn't fast enough to be regularly playing RB, and his positioning in attack is lacking, many times he closed the passing lanes for Lamine. He should be just be a rare stop gap.

I loved Casado in the RB spot with B team, he was tailor made for that inverted RB Xavi was trying with Cancelo. But Flick never used him there so I am not sure we will count on it.

 

[FCBarca]

I mean, when I am annoyed with the stupidity of someone I refer to them as a dodo - vamos a ver

Indeed, Fort is alright for RB and Torrents might work for LB. Midfield is settled. We do need a LW/RW that can take on their man, Bernardo Silva might work for 1-2 seasons if City let him leave on a free this summer - if Raphinha or Yamal picks up an injury we're fucked, we rely to much on creating danger from the wings and we really need somebody that can cover. Tractor will stay and Shark is backup, that'll have to do - so a winger is what we need this summer. Dream would be Isaak, he can play all 3 positions up front and there would be plenty rotation - Lewa can sit his ass down on the bench for 30 fucking mil in his last year, retarded deal that was... he can barely fucking run and mostly on the ground, 36-37 years old, on 30m

Not saying we should look for a starter. Hardly any players who are available can replace Kounde. What we need are backups.
I am speculating the club might not want to go for RB as we have Eric and Casado.

Who said anything about starters?

I seriously don't understand this kind of viewpoint. How can you still be this critical of Lewandowski? 40 goals in 48 games this season, huge influence in the dressing room, brought Szczesny in as well... I get it, I would prefer a younger striker starting next season as well, but to act like Lewandowski has been some kind of horrible waste of money is just literally some weird hateful delusion.

20mil for Ratiu is too much, but maybe some exchange for players like Tore plus few mills and we are good.

There is not like much options we can get for free.

For left back, maybe getting Valle back and sending Fort/Martin on loan is best option, vecause Flick does not rate them much.

And we invest all in left winger whuch could be around 50mil, for Nico/Diaz type of player.

Call me crazy but I would get Adama Traore for free or guy from Lille, he can get few minutes now and then when we are countering or against bad oppononets when we want to save Yamal.

So I would get 2 wingers, one great player like Nico, other would be Adama/some cheap player, so I don't want to see Fati or Victor who are sliw as fuck on the wing again.

Hope so we will not be in same shitty situation as we have been this summer and winter.
