Barça's Transfers and Rumors

If worst comes to the worst just play Pique Bartra and have Mathieu as backup. Looks like we're fucked for CBs again this window.

Athletic just raised Laporte's buyout from 36 to 42 million.

No-one wants to join us, even Mathieu claimed he wants to stay

Just scout up some beast from Brazil if you are a cheap ass and won't pay for a proven player ffs

Hopefully they will be forced to splash the cash on Benatia. Do it, Zubi!

No Benatia, Laporte, Hummels, Thiago Silva or Marquinhos. Great

Why don't you guys try to seek new talents like Roma did with Benatia or RM with Varane?

Mathieu and Valencia's president said few times that he is staying and they have new owner who has money.

That's not how these guys operate.

Its ok, our contingency plan is more midfielders and more wingers like every summer.

Is Cesc to Chelsea a done deal?

What is Garay's situation right now?

The playes have to declare that they feel good at the club that pays them in the present, that's public relations stuff. The problem isn't that the top players don't want to join us (they would probably walk on foot to Camp Nou to put their names on a contract with FC Barcelona), the problem is that we have to reach an agreement with the clubs that have those players under very tight contracts. Settle with PSG (Marquinhos), Roma (Benatia), BvB (Hummels), Porto (Mangala) etc. and the players will be ours. Don't reach those agreements, and we won't sign anyone.

It's either you outsmart these clubs which find and buy good players and they make them even better, or you pay the top money they ask. But since Zubinepto can only outsmart himself... I'm pessimistic. Just pay big for a world class defender and let this be a harsh lesson for the future: you don't let anyone know you're desperate to buy a CB before you buy it. That's just like shooting yourself in the foot.
