Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[Robbie]

Time for some optimism .. @barcastuff: Only Arsenal's Koscielny (19) has made more last man tackles in the last 3 Premier League seasons than Vermaelen (12) #epl [via @whoscored]

Then there's that time when he scored 5 goals in his first 11 games.

and of course that pace

 

[Alarcón]

I like the fact that we're signing quick defenders. It's an important trait for a Barca defender.

Quick and ball-playing defenders. All 4 CBs now are goo with the ball at their feet.

Afellay has reached a deal with Olympiacos for 2+1 seasons [md]

 

[Luftstalag14]

So I take our transfers are complete? Potentially no more transfers until January 2016?

Vermaelen is a quality defender *WHEN FIT*. I made a comment about Agger some pages back and maybe Vermaelen needs a change of league, climate & physios to get back to his A game.

I'm happy with this transfer window... we have some quality players and I hope Lucho can find the best combination to dominate 14/15

Fiorentina want 50M for Cuadrado. Man United have reportedly made a 40M+10M bid. Barcelona could offer 40M, incentives included. [md]

 

[Behrox]

if we can fork out 40m for Cuadrado can't we pay similar for Danilo?? He is Brazillian too

 

[DonAK]

Cuadrado is gonna be an expensive signing for a player who might not fit in too well in the position he is wanted to play AND..... most probably would not get many chances to play further forward where he is better considering the competition for the places.

Maybe we're better off letting him go to Man Utd for that obscure fee and try to buy a real RB instead. Lets see.........

 

[sabby]

A tad disappointed with signings in defense this season, but hey, at least we got 2 CBs And as long as the 4 give competition to each other, they should all improve.

 

[Zincubus]

We could have got those two and Reina as a number 2 GK and saved about €44 million and arguably be better off !!??

 

[DonAK]

Except that Lopez would have never come and I wouldn't have wanted him here either and that Mathieu is better than Alex.

Why would you even want Lopez and Reina as your GKs anyway? Ter Stegen + Bravo are better than those two together and that Mathieu is better than Alex for Barca.

Would rather have MAtS and Bravo than Lopez and Reina. And if we had signed Alex and Vermaelen we would be asking for this guys head

but if you are striving to be the best team in the world you don't want to be picking up players unwanted by there previuos club
