Never trust MD. Even Sport is better.

I for one don't believe they will agree with 30m when his "buy-out" is 40m.

Not really, MD receives news directly from Bartomeu and the board, Sport on the other hand has nothing.

Yes...i know that given the situation MD might be lying because they're desperate but in the past MD was a more reliable source than Sport.

I just don't recall when was the last time MD broke something that turned out to be true/right in the end.

A busquets-seri-paulinho midfield would be quite good and balanced . Busquets helps build play and controls the game with seri, paulinho can provide the running and defensive work to stop counters and make late runs forward to help the front three.

Seri is quite mobile so he can move around to receive ball in build up unlike static rakitic and though he isn't known for his defending he does have speed and stamina.

That means no Coutinho. Lets hope Dembele signs in the end and it wouldnt be too bad. If we had bought Fabinho instead of the bonehead Paulinho move, it would be really good.

i don't think he was second option to coutinho. I hope board is going for demblele, coutinho and seri.

At any point before now I would've thought that getting even only Seri, or any other midfielder (Verratti, Eriksen, Coutinho, etc.) would've been sufficient. However, after the Supercup I'm starting to think Iniesta will play sparingly and that EV will use the new CM to start in place of Iniesta instead of partnering him. He might want a system that relies on the legs of Rakitic (or god forbid Paulinho) even as a starting mid in big games.

If ultimately we're getting Seri so that our new best lineup just becomes Seri-Rakitic, it's not much of an improvement really. EV can't have that be our starting midfield because Rakitic is simply not fit to start here, he's a massive burden. If our big game lineup is Iniesta-Seri with Rakitic subbing in, as well as Seri-Rakitic in smaller games, then the case is different and I'd take that as a pretty good improvement. In any case Aleña needs to rise up ASAP and get Rakitic tf out of our starting lineup. It'd be a wet dream to get both Seri and Coutinho along with Dembele but I'm not gonna hold my breath. It is imperative to get 2 new starting CM's as soon as possible, because the midfield as it is now is simply nowhere near the caliber we'd need to compete with RM.

This is the obvious thing to do IMO. Give Iniesta the Xavi 2015 role. Rakitic (who played AM at Sevilla) or maybe Roberto rotates with him.

Favre in the post game conference said he wasnt aware that an agreement had been reached between Nice and Barcelona. I guess if that was the case his president would have warned him, especially before a press conference.

Think Busi will be happy to finally play with a player like Seri here assuming we get him.

Iniesta with him aging and his legs not being the same, Busi hasn't had a player who can create and distribute the ball, not since we had Xavi. not saying Seri is the second coming of Xavi but he's someone who's style is like Xavi's that we have been missing for a long time now.
