Semedo 2.0 - pace and nothing more.

He has Barca DNA.
That is more important than pace, dribbling or defending
Not about Barca DNA.
The idea, that in case we sign him it will be for Semedo. Who is older, worse and having bigger wage demands. And will likely be sold for more than we get for Bellerin.
We might have better options, but if we get him he is still a good deal, under those circumstances.

True, but that's the problem. How do you replace Semedo with clear upgrade? It's not like world is full of great RBs.

The board has some weird sentimental-political obssession with former La Masia players.
This summer out of all CBs in the world, we are after Eric Garcia.
Koeman wanted Wijnaldum, the board wants another former graduate Thiago Alcantara.
Now we are trading one shitty fullback for another, who happens to be - what a coincidence - another former La Masia graduate.
I guess that our club decided to follow some internal principles of having more La Masia players in attempt to go back to our roots and identity, whether from sporting or identity/emotional/political reasons.
Puig, Araujo, Fati emerged lately.
And now we are after former players.
Plus: Pique, Roberto, Alba, Busquets (and Messi).
None of current La Masia players has left the club.
I don't think it is a pure coincidence.

If it is true then it is nothing more than desperate politics. Previously this very same board refused the notion of bringing Thiago back because once a La Masia player leaves they won't pay a transfer fee to bring them back.

We should buy Ricardo Perreira.

It's definitely not a coincidence. I think the board is trying to overcompensate for La Masia's failings under them by bringing in as many as they can. There's no way the veteran La Masia players in Pique, Alba, etc. are going anywhere and the thought of losing any of the current crop of upcoming La Masia graduates is probably a nightmare for them. As much as I like Alena, I've seen very little to suggest he's being moved on somewhere, and there's honestly not any space for him even before we get Wijnaldum/Thiago.
Aside from Eric Garcia, who is young and capable of competing on a top level (It seems), it's hard to see why any of these players are sticking around other than their La Masia roots. Bellerin himself sucks, there's 0 chance he'd even be considered if he wasn't La Masia.

Not coincidence, it is business.
Eric is a guy that wants back home, how many CBs you can get either for free or for 10M who is as good?
Same for Bellerin, how many better RBs for 20M.
The point here, isn't that being former la Masia is advantage for them, it is advantage for us as those players might push for come back to home.
It seems he has been improving lately, don't follow Arsenal that much but I have seen many of them disappointed by the rumors they might let him go.

Hector Bellerin is negotiating his departure from Arsenal, and he has been offered to Bar?a. The club have asked more time to decide, but the priority is to register the new players and sign Marcos Alonso.

Would you guys take him on a free or very low fee? Atleast he is better than Dest and surely Sergi Roberto. Had a decent season at Betis. RB is our weakest spot.

He said a few years ago that if Barca is giving a call for him , he won't pick up the phone.
He can go fuck himself.
