Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[KingMessi]

Pjanic. Firmino. Reus. Kovacic,Cazorla. etc.

Cazorla? :/

Pjanic. Firmino. Reus. Kovacic,Cazorla. etc.

Pjanic is too inconsistent. I'd rather have Kovacic. Also, Cazorla is too old and not good enough IMO.

 

[StarLord]

Cazorla? :/

None of Cazorla, Firmino, Pjanic or Reus (for that position) are in contention.

Cazorla

One facepalm is not enough

In fact, out of those names, Cazorla is the least bad option. Still very bad.

True.

We need Pogba/Gundogan

Finding Xavi's "successor would be a fatal mistake IMO. We better look for better alternatives than Rakitic and Iniesta.

Please no Koke... Pogba is an amazing player but I am still not that sure he would suit us. Isco would be an absolute dream to slowly but surely replace Iniesta.

Bringing back Song if Xavi leaves ( and it seems that he is very likely to leave) is a must considering the transfer ban.

Sell Song in january if he does not deliver what would be expected from him and bring a top prospect that hasn't played the CL. That will be a huge task.

And that prospect might be Gündogan !

Doubt it will happen but Song would suit the Barca tactics of now much more than a season ago.

He is mobile, decent defensively in covering ground and has a good early final pass when game is more open.

Cant see it but think he would be a decent squad player next season if Xavi goes.

If he can bring it to Rakitic in terms of competition and threaten his starting place that would be GREAT !!! I wish Enrique would have done it with Xavi and Iniesta but since Rakitic hasn't got any real competitor in his position, I feel quite concerned that he and Iniesta will play in their 2nd gear.

Braida:

The rules are clear, Barcelona can’t sign anyone during the summer transfer window, but it’s not against the rules to reach verbal agreements and think about January.

Verbal agreement? I thought Barto said we can make official deals and leave players at the club until January.

Normally, we can sign a player in the summer, but can't register the player's contract to RFEF until january.

There should be 3 main steps in making a transfer official.

1. Agreement with all the parties involved -- namely selling club, player, agent.

A medical usually follows after an agreement is reached.

2. The signing of the contract.
3. Registering the contract.

Normally, we should be allowed to do the first 2 steps in the summer, and take care of the third and final step when the ban expires. In the summer, we can sign a contract with a player that starts from January 2016 for example.

Somebody correct me if this is not right.

 

[KingMessi]

The agreement between the clubs is probably assured with a written contract.

I have not seen Gundogan performing at top leve since his injury.

 

[Mido]

Thinking about it again, Song and/or Gündogan might be the solution. Both could bring it to Rakitic and force him to perform well and might even steal his starting place. I always had the impression that Rakitic was overperforming this season. I might be wrong, we'll know more about it next season hopefully.

And as Jamdav said previously, Song would suit Enrique's system a lot better. We should give him another chance, + he's definitely more mature than Rafinha, Samper and Roberto.

Finding a replacement for Iniesta will be key. Bringing Gündogan in january and Isco during summer 2016 is my absolute wish ( and dream...), this would heat things up with Real Madrid.

Just imagining having Busquets, Roberto, Gündogan, Song, Rakitic, Isco/Götze and Iniesta + Halilovic and Samper as our 2 top prospects ...

... I might be just dreaming...

Pogba is starting to grow on me eventhough I remain a little bit skeptical but PLEASE NO KOKE !!
