Right now, it is going to be the 300m+ spent on the four forwards Griezmann, Coutinho, Dembele, Trincao + Ansu. That is what we are looking at unless we can somehow muster money to sign someone like Depay or Dembele.
So we are banking on:-
a) A better collective effort with no stars. Ie - team, which we have lacked
b) Somehow for atleast one of Coutinho/Dembele/Griezmann to turn good which is a long shot.
c) Ansu to step up.
Yeah,all that money waste on practically nothing.
a)It's possible,but tbh i don't trust Koeman as a coach.I get he is a Barca legend,but he showed nothing regarding his capacity to coach Barcelona,neither from results point of view or style.I hope i am wrong.
b)Actually,to have the output that Messi and Suarez bought to the team,at least two of them should turn good,which is highly unlikely.Dembele is a crook,Coutinho it's even more of a sulker than Messi,but with 10% of his quality and Griezmann it's just not made to be a Barca player,Messi or not.We'll see.
c)Ansu is extremely overrated here,he's a good talent,but nothing out of ordinary.He's surely not a Messi kind of talent,not even close to a Cristiano Ronaldo.We can't bank on him this season,he's too young and not that incredibly good.
