If you want Suarez or someone like Falcao you HAVE to sell Messi and that aint happening.
A lot of clubs are interested in Alexis including Liverpool and Arsenal. Minimum 30 million for him or no sale. He can be backup or maybe he will up his game further-especially in CL.
I don't want Suarez, Hazard or any 80-100M signings.
But the fact is that our current attacking line is the weakest in the last 10 Years.
And again, Pep is "guilty" for that.
He made a lots of awesome things for our team, but also he has created a mess and we will now probably suffer for 10 Seasons until we get back to the right track.
Before Pep, our team always had:
-- 3-4-5 awesome attackers/midfielders who could score Goals
-- we had both smaller and taller/physically stronger players
Pep changed that.
-- he created a team full of 170cm tall players
-- it worked for 3-4 Seasons when those smaller players were in their prime, when they were hungry for trophies and when they were running and pressing like crazy
-- today, those smaller players are not in their prime anymore and we don't have any plan B, because we only have 20 small players in our team
-- also, our team doesn't have 3-4-5 lethal players who can score Goals (for example, 2006. we had: 1. Ronaldinho, 2. Eto'o, 3. Larsson, 4. young Messi, 5. Guily, 6. Deco, 7. Van Bommel)
-- all players were shooting and scoring like crazy from all positions, close range finishes, headers, ranged drives, team actions, solo actions, everything
-- the opponents didn't know how to defend, everyone could score Goals from any shot
-- since Pep?
= he has built a team that relies ONLY on Messi
-- he abandoned a system where 3-4-5 attacking players can score and we have built a team where 10 players will pass and keep the ball, then they will eventually pass the ball to Messi, and he will try to score
-- basically, since then, more or less, we have 10 workers on the field, and Messi, who should alone handle everything
How have he strengthen our attack in the last few Seasons?
= we bought Alexis, who is not primarly a scorer, but more like some sort of dribbler and worker
= then, we bought Neymar, for who knows how many Millions, and again, he also isn't a true scorer
Again, our current team, today we have the weakest attacking line/power in the last 10 Seasons.
And it is not only because of less running, pressing, triangles.
These guys are mainly just workers/passers/creators. Not natural scorers.
Again, it worked in 2009 and 2011, and who knows if it will ever work again.
Our small players will never be as good as then. Messi also won't ever be as good and as fast as then.
Also, when fans say: "We don't need a true 9, it will ruin our formation and style"
Lol.
Which style?
We can't score a Goal/win a match in the last 3 Months against ANY opponent.
We created 3 shots on goal against Atletico on the home field where we could have won the title.
Yes, we really shouldn't buy any stronger/different players in defense/midfield/attack.
It will ruin our awesome chemistry.
We are really on a hot streak in the last 2 Seasons.
We have to stick to our smaller players, passing till death and playing with 0 players who can score a Goal.
That's our style
