Not for the price.
Not at any price, not nearly Barcelona quality. A backup RB
Not for the price.
Azpilicueta would be a steal for that money. He could be backup at both flanks right?
Now that Alves is gone, we can finally stop subduing Alba and reverse the former Alves-Abidal roles. Let Alba attack more, and use the RB more conservatively.
Play Sergi Roberto instead of Rakitic and I think he would make up for the loss of Alves.... Occupying right flank like he did in the clasico last year providing room for Leo to operate more in the center. They could mimic the chemistry that Leo and Alves used to do on the right flank.Messi has more room if players around him (Rakitic, Suarez, Alves) drag their players away.
If we have a defensive RB on Messi's flank, that means=less room for Messi, more defenders on Messi, less shots for Messi, less goals for Barca.
In general, huge problems for Barca.

I'm still hoping for Vietto.

It is unlikely that Atletico will sell Vietto to us for the same price they are rumouring to be selling to other clubs. In addition it is almost career suicide to come to Barcelona right now with MSN here. He wants to leave Atletico because he hasn't been given a chance, it is unreasonable to come to Barca. Honestly though , I don't see a better choice. Great if we can get him though.
