Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[khaled_a_d]

Most of them are Jorge Mendes players and I don't want him in our club.

Football is a business and you have to deal with everyone in it .you can't just say "I am not gonna deal with the best agent of the world" .you have to keep good relations with everyone
That said ,Portugal doesn't really offer cheap players .in fact they are one of the most expensive players in comparison to their status

But Alen was just a kid. 17 years old I believe. A typical Barca B signing. And we dont even know if he will ever be a starter for us. He's not even a starter for Sporting Gijon. Dybala was one of the top scorers in Serie A before Juve signed him. Dybala-type signings from clubs like Palermo have been very few and far between for Barca.

Rakitic was an example of that type of buy but it was still from La Liga and 26. We need to buy players like that in their early 20s.

Thiago Silva (PSG): "Marquinhos' situation is difficult. He could play anywhere, Barça and others asked for him. We'll see what he will do."

Red rover, red rover, send Marquinhos right over

 

[Co0ter]

Yes, please. He's still only 21. I hope they play him in the CL and we get to see him against good opposition again.

 

[Ghostmaster]

I think he'll leave, but it won't be for Barca, hell would freeze over before Nasser let someone go to Barca.

 

[DonAK]

He'll stay in Paris. Thiago Silva playing well and healthy, but still not getting any younger. Marquinhos is his successor.

 

[Galning]

I also think he'll stay in Paris. Just a trick to get some more minutes and more euros on the next contract. Why would PSG let him go, as Don said? They don't need the money and it's hard to find a suitable replacement.

Was there ever a rumor that we are interested in Wendell from Leverkusen? Would be the ideal LB purchase for me. Gaya too but he would be too expensive I think.

But that's the thing with extra minutes, Silva has contract until 2018 and unless he'll decline considerably or get a serious injury, Marquinhos won't be a starter in his position for two more years, and as I posted earlier in this thread that Luiz has refused to be subbed in one of French leageu games, so he can't play in his position as well. However, he may benefit from Aurier's recent adventures on social media and become a permanent RB.

I believe there was, but there are more talk about that guy from Villareal, Marin if I am not mistaken.

Can't look that far into the future in football from this perspective. One injury, one drop in form and he's into the starting 11. He'll be a starter sooner rather than later. Especially if he lives up to his hype as wonderkid CB he should be able to replace one of those two pretty soon. If not, then he just isn't all that.

After Aurier stupidity Marquinhos will probably get a lot of playing time at RB.

Problem is that he isn't that great as a RB, offensively. e had a lot of chances to move forward when Di Maria drifted inside, but he stayed back.

 

[Messi983]

It's understandable he's not great offensively as RB. He's primarily a CB and if we buy him he'll play there. Still, if sometimes we want to have more defensive RB to go alongside with offensive LB to give team more balance like Pep did with Alves/Abidal he could be useful at RB as well. That's IF we buy him.

Anyway, I was talking about Marquinhos possibly getting more playing time this season at RB to keep him happy and stay in Paris. In summer PSG can buy someone for RB if they can't work things out with Aurier and sell him. Maybe they'll even try to get Alves again (it's obvious they love Brazilians). I love Dani but he'll start to decline and is not 100% motivated in all games anymore so I wouldn't mind if we include him in a deal to get Marquinhos. It's not very likely this will happen though.
