Gini Wijnaldum

[Devils]

Stunning work by Ramon Planes.

Elite sporting director.

I was keen on his signing, then I wasn't. But it's clear we need something in midfield so in times of dire financial situations I will gladly accept someone of Wijnaldum's experience and quality.

I hope this is true

Add Depay and it is an instant upgrade to last season with free players: Aguero, Garcia, Wijnaldum, and Depay

If this is true then i guess Koeman will continue. At least now he will get his players.

Fair enough no?

I didnt follow him much this season,is he still good? He is not the youngest anymore but if he can help us im happy.

Liverpool fans had nothing bad to say. Didn't blame him for the bad season etc. They kinda liked him. I'd say that's a good sign. Usually players who leave are trashed.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

I take him since he offers us defensive power and work rate.

True and especially Pedri/DeJong needs a rest too and Busi..

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Stunning.

Free Agent FC

We have arrived

I have to point out one thing. Not many could attract all those free agents to come. At least we are still fashionable/attractive on some level.

Yes. To me this looks pretty much perfect off-season for the money. You can't do much better without using any money.

Must be pointed out not to have too high expectations of our supposed signings. They're all players who are like spices you add to a dish. Unfortunately we don't really have much of a dish so we can't expect them to fully thrive either.
Gini isn't the player to carry a midfield by himself, but he'll be a damn good team player and a complement to those around him.

Wijnaldum is not a defensive/ physical beast, very good at recycling possession though.

Sure they are not world beaters but they add quality all around the roster, which is the key here

In Marketing we call this (emotional benefit) .. it is important to build a brand from an emotional aspect and not just functionally (PSG is functional as they use money to persuade, and the moment a richer club arises PSG will lose their competitive advantage). That is why it is important for Barca to continue branding the aspects of the club related to La Masia, Tiki Taka, Mes Que Un Club, UNICEF .. etc.
