Busquets replacement

[DonAK]

Not insanely sold on Zubimendi, but I don’t think he would be a transfer you bitterly regret even for 60m.

I believe the same assuming he doesn't crumble under pressure which is something impossible to predict when a player is making a step up.

Do you believe Busquets is best DM ever

 

[BJJ]

Just NO to Zubimendi. He's decent for la liga but in Europe, especially CL he will be exposed for the average player he is.
As someone mentioned Xavi wants him and Xavi has been disastrous when it comes to transfers.

Amrabat,Neves or even Tielmanns. I really don't rate Zubimendi at all.

 

[Andresito]

In the end I think we'll end up paying 65+bonuses or something for Zubimendi just to avoid having to pay the clause all at once. Don't think there are any other options in Xavi's head.

Tielemans doesn't play that role. He's an 8.

Don't make me dream. Saw a stat he's the highest scoring teenager in the top 5 leagues this season. Would bring a lot to us. Obvs not a Busquets replacement though but should we be after that anyway?

If Xavi wants to replicate Pep's tactic vs Madrid @home, then yeah it makes sense.

If we play a clasic 433 it doesn't as FDJ is not good at playing the lone DM.

 

[JamDav1982]

FDJ is good at lone pivot and may well be better than those club are looking to sign and Barca did not miss Busi there this season when not played.

The bigger issue is that it limits FDJ and takes him away from his spot in team where he is amongst best in world.

DM he is good but limited and not worth the cost on books.

 

[Rory]

Lol I thought the video was linking us to Bellingham because of the title being cutoff, turns out he's not being linked with us at all. I guess he's Real Madrid bound anyway

Barca really should consider this kid.

Having a great U-20 tournament so far and really makes the team tick.

What do you think about Alan Varela?

I mean we should look at some of the young talent in the upcoming Argentine generation, but we'd rather sign some random Mexican from MLS or some Spaniard from the worst Spanish generation in decades.

What do you think about Alan Varela?

From the limited games that I've seen of Varela, think Redondo has more potential and suits us better.

Redondo is much more graceful, intelligent with good positioning and has great reading of the game.
