Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[Flavia]

But this applies to both the previous board under Laporta and this board. So both boards were stupid? Why are other clubs allowed to sign underage players? Players leave La Masia as a result of poaching by foreign clubs all the time.

The problem was with non-EU players.

If Ter Stegen deal goes through than the problem is not so bad. Still awful, but at least we will have a GK by then. With Deulofeu and Rafinha returning and Samper, Adama, Suarez and Ie/Bagnack from Barca B we should be ok not to relegate next season

Actually, it could be a blessing in disguise. Apart from a goalie, we could should give the canteranos the chance to succeed instead of relying on signings. We are stacked up front. Sanchez, Pedro, Messi, Neymar and possibly Rafinha and Tello might stay as well. There is no room for anyone else. Same with midfield. With Rafinha back and Samper also there, we dont need anyone else. Sure, Xavi is aging, but any replacement need years of molding in our system, and cant be brought from the outside and be expected to excel. So naturally, the replacement for Xavi can only be found in Barcelona. In defense, we have great full back options, and while it would be good with a 4th CB option to replace Puyol, a transfer ban will give far more chances for Bartra to prove his worth and will also give chances to Ie and Gomez

Says who? Source? Link?

The only thing from MAtS and his agent so far says that they are looking into this ban and what it means.

"If I have read the Fifa announcement in the right way, Marc-Andre's transfer [to Barcelona] will not be done in summer," the agent told SportBild.

According to Ter Stegen's agent, the Barca move is off.

ter Stegen's agent said he'll wait for the annoucement whether the ban will affect deals that were done earlier this season (which means ter Stegen is a Barca player already), just needs "paper" annoucement

the ban probably/hopefully won't include this summer's transfer window or we're fucked

That's a big IF.

If rumors are true and we aren't banned yet. Best thing to do is seal the Ter Stegen deal in late May/ early June like Neymar

From the words of Marc's agent, the deal is already sealed

"Ter Stegen's agent: Barcelona deal cannot go through now"

 

[Jadentheman]

Well if we lose Ter Stegen then the board should be beheaded. Ridiculous

 

[Djab]

"Ter Stegen's agent: Barcelona deal cannot go through now"

That's on goal.fuck and I will not believe it at all.

It's from Bild

Bild is not trustworthy either, not as Goal.fart though.

Yeah but the statement is qualified as by "if I read the it right," so your going on the interpretation of his agent of the ban if you take his conclusion.

It still hasn't been cleared up if the ban is set to take place immediately or can be delayed by an appeal process. If it can be delayed then obviously we can make early signings.
