Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Messi983]

Baena is not slow, lol.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Baena is an amazing player, but his situation is a bit like D.Silva or Cazorla.
Fun players to watch and root for, but no way we should make a move to get them.

Would love to see an Argentine at the club, especially with Mastantuono's talent, but he is not needed. We have other priorities to focus on.

Laporta just heard about the new Choripan joint near the stadium. Meant to be incredible.

Reports this morning from Germany that Bayern are close to David.

But Athletic just dropped an interview with David, with him saying he wants to move to Barca and it is his dream move.

They want him as second striker.

He will have better chance here to be starter, and I belive he would choose us before Bayern, because Kane is still in his prime and will be for few years more.

Since we are talking strikers for the summer:

This guy is the profile we need.
We don't need just a finisher, or just a pacey forward to hit the spaces,
let alone someone who doesn't know how to touch the ball

We need a guy that can play with his back to defenders, hold up and link up well with wingers and AMs, and release well others in space.
We have already seen Flickball, and we have seen that Lewa is meh in that department.
With a forward that can hold and link up better away from goal, the central combination patterns Hansi is teaching will explode!

If Saudis have again FFP issues come summer (i am sure they won't get CL this season), we should pounce with a (decent not overpriced) offer

Lewa is a better goalscorer though, a much more consistent one.

Although we can't keep Lewa for much longer due to age his replacement needs to be a guaranteed top striker.

I would love to bring Isak for rotation and to develop him into our starting striker, he's a great player, but Newcastle will ask at least 70m for his signing, so he will take a lot of our budget if we have money issues again.

Then we should swoop, where's the harm in signing him for free. We can use him as a backup/rotation player first and evaluate his ability, if his transfer doesn't work out, he's young and we can get at least around 40m for him in a sale, though I think it could be more given the difficult striker market. He can also increase his value here.

Would be very disappointed if the board miss this open goal (unless he demands to be the starting striker, which is another discussion).

There are options out there if you have a competent SD to seek them.

Adeyemi is the firs that comes to mind: Can play LW, can play RW, can drift centrally, can score, can run, is intense in pressing.

Nothing marquee, but top quality to complement the ones we have and not be in danger of derailing a whole season if one of Raphina Lamine gets injured

See the antithesis?
IF you bring someone like Leao or Nico, he will DEMAND to start, and Fatporta would want that too for marketing reasons, etc.
Then Flick has to 1) displease either Raphina or Olmo who have been stellar so far, and don't deserve the bench
2) tweak his system that doesn't involve and out and out touchline LW anymore

PS: There are many other such options

Adeyemi did nothing against madrid twice ?

Next

Baena for sure but he's not a proper left winger. A couple that are okay are Tel and Nusa from a young player standpoint.

Tel currently being offered on loan..

Olmo can warm the bench he's done it all year...

Usally after a good year like this teams fall off more with injuries we need some juice.

Leao, Raphinha and Olmo won't sook they're Barcelona people except Nico. Just like this year flick gave whoever deserved it. Hell if Leao shows up late he ain't even playing.

Any player that wants to come to us its club first individual second regarding what they do on the field.

We have two upcoming LEFT WINGERS in Ruslan Mba and Pedro Fernandez still young but easily 3- 4 years away

He's good, but not consistent - he would be a luxury player who wouldn't fit what we need from a #9. Sure he could be alright on LW/RW because he's fast and he is tricky. In other words we would pay 70M+ for a RW/LW backup. I WISH he would be a Eto'o type of player, but he isn't. If we want a Swedish forward Gyö is the one. He has proven me wrong time after time, I'm coming around to him - but they will ask for CRAZY fee for him.
Imo we should find a very good backup for LW/RW, max 30ish million. Preferably not above 25. Fast and with good dribbling skills and some technique. BUT I would maybe try for David instead, maybe, because he's free - if we by that time sign two new wingbacks (which we REALLY need anyway) just play a very offensive wingback on his side and play him as a winger that plays more as a second striker. Than we can also use David as backup for Lewa.

Mmm, the the scamletic, sports "journos" from anglo countries who think their players are above everyone else, despite never winning any big titles.

You know if this dude was dominating the Mcdonalds ligue I'd get the hype, a bit,
but scoring the same amount of goals as grandpa Lacazette?
Zero big chances created, terrible in the air.

Don't think anyone who is top tier would come for less than 70m anyway...

David was rejected by his own coach at Lille Fonseca last summer for Milan, because the coach knew he can't play against low blocks/in the box
Hence we should steer away from him

Let Bayern have David and in exchange Bryan Zaragoza comes to Barca
