Rafinha is injury prone and Turan has yet to adapt. Roberto is a decent squad player, nothing more. We need a midfielder, one that is actually better than what we've got. If we want to win the CL again. Madrid, Juve, Bayern have better depth of midfielders than us right now.
Good, So we'll be witnessing another critical period like this season due to fatigue.
I don't know but they are totally stupid if they haven't been fallowing him also on another note Roma isn't interested to sell Pjanic to Juve and Pjanic himself said several times he'd join Barca btw, Not strange reasons really needed, it probably will happen. Iniesta ( 32 ) , An injury prone player ( Rafinha ) and Roberto who will be mostly used as RB ( if Vidal get injured and probably will)
And you can't just say rather see a B team player because Lucho is important here, Maybe Kaptoum will have Messi's technique level but as long as Lucho doesn't trust him, other options will be eliminated easily, just like Samper ( Not certainly but we can say that ) or despite of that, Maybe Lucho won't enough be able to develop them as they necessarily should.
I think Pjanic could be that player, he's got good vision, he can also control the game under pressure and don't we forget there aren't many good midfielders out there right now.
1-Rafinha isn't injury prone,he got one serious injury in his whole career and it was from brutal tackle
2-Arda is here and probably is going no where,he had time already with the team and he will finally get a pre-season with the team and full chance with them
3-D.Suarez & S.Roberto will be another choice when needed for CM position
4-Kaptoum is bigger talent as CM than Samper (and probably a bigger talent than Samper) and same can be said for Alena,a player that Lucho is already a big fan of him and he is probably the biggest talent we have since Thiago.They will get some minutes with 1st team
Last year we had fatigue for many reasons.
-we weren't able to register 2 players we signed.this year won't be the same.In midfield we will have 6 players that can take minutes in the 2 CM positions.Last year it was only Roberto in the 1st half of the season and that wore Rakitic & Iniesta down by the end of the year.
-We played 3 more games than we will for next season and one of them was a trip to Japan.
-We had 6 starters from South America,international break simply was too much for the team. too much travel and jet lag this year with Alves gone,Stegen replacing Bravo the number will decrease.hopefully Iniesta will do himself a favor and retire from international duty.with addition of extra attacker,renewing defense I can see the full squad with better depth tbh.
