Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[KingMessi]

Rumors say Vermaelen will cost us 13M Euros.

 

[JamDav1982]

and now sport says Manutd is closer to cuadrado. Such a lovely day. #fuckoffzubi

Get a grip.

You are just another one that thinks attacking Zubi makes you a real Barca fan.

Its pathetic.

 

[Zebulun]

We aren´t interested anymore in cuadrado so it doesn´t matter.

you're right, with a transfer ban looming for us, i would really wonder what we're interested in.

 

[KingMessi]

Zubi has done well this summer. The centerback signings are a bit underwhelming but hey, we have depth in defense now. I'd like us to sign a rightback considering we have a lot of money left over in the budget.

 

[DonAndres]

Look on the bright side. This Vermaelen saga was contained to the time interval in which darthvader was banned. We've been saved around 100 or more irritating spam posts. Of course, we'll be hearing about it when he returns but a couple of weeks of peace is nice.

I'm certainly not a Zubi sympathizer, but like you have my valid opinion.

 

[KingMessi]

@TXIKIFORERO: El fichaje de @T_Vermaelen05 por el @FCBarcelona está prácticamente cerrado. La operación rondaría los 13 M€.

Saying 'fuckoffzubi' is pathetic.

What opinion is that then?

The only logic I can see behind Verm is that he somewhat fits the bill of a no nonsense hard man at the back that Puyol used to be....

But that's flawed. What good is a no nonsense defender if he has lapses of concentration time and time again? It's a contradictory trait for the role he tries to play.

I'll support him and give him the benefit of the doubt if/when he comes but unless Lucho works some magic with his mental aspect of the game (which is hard to coach, it's hard to correct established mental tendencies. Case and point Piqué) I just don't see him succeeding here.

You know it's bad when Mathieu is a better fit for us than Verm...

He's a very skilful guy with a sweet left foot and takes people out when required ... what's not to like

 

[KingMessi]

If he can get back to form and stay injury free, then, and only then, will this be a good signing. Heck, if he can get back to form then it's an absolute steal.

 

[Trafalgar]

Sometimes I just don't understand Zubi and Lucho, how could they buy an injury prone CB

 

[Sumlit]

So the rumor is Vermaelen is almost a done deal?

We'll see then.

If Roma sell Benatia for anything even close to a passable price, this forum is going to go apeshit.

 

[Richard.H]

With Bartra, Mathieu, Pique, Mascherano, and Adriano, doesn't anyone else feel the CB depth is good enough? Vermaelen is really not needed, considering he would most likely not be a starter.

 

[linetty]

Benatia is not leaving Roma.

Adriano, seriously?
