Marco Verratti

Plus Gomes out and Eriksen in.

I'd totally go for that. Not possible though. Eriksen would cost twice as much as Gomes. And what about Alena? If we sign two midfielders, his game time would be almost non-existent.

Go all in for Verratti and try to sign a RB with whatever funds we have left. If Verratti joins PSG in preseason, the deal is for sure off. Need to look at other options. So we'd probably have an answer next week in this story.

I very much doubt that we can sign a great player if we get through with Verratti.

Eriksen is better than any midfielder Barca have but Spurs would probably be looking for 70-80m.

IF Verratti comes. Cant see that being spent on another midfielder.

I'd be happy with just Verratti and no one else.

This. Vidal can cover RB. I like his attitude, give him some chance. But i dont mind another RB as long its not bellerin.

 

[gasgas]

Verratti would be enough,
We can survive with a defective RB position
Even if we have Douglas there, as long as Verratti plays RCM, we'll be alright

(Ofcourse we could still sign Soares from Southampton )

 

[Andresito]

No Verratti here either

I think with those two behind him Messi wouldn't mind sticking to the right flank next season. Sure beats Rakitic/Gomes, Roberto combination he had to deal with this year. No wonder he moved behind Suarez.

Nasser Al-khelafi asked about Verratti not appearing in pre-season pics: "He's just not photogenic, we have others more suited for the spotlight." Sir but Di Maria... "Fuck you."

That's especially if we stick Verratti at RCM, because that will ensure Messi receives the ball as often as possible on his flank

There shouldnt be so much a rigid RCM next season. Someone like Verratti should be more like Xavi in following the ball more than that. Need much more fluidity than under Lucho for me.

Calm down we still need a RB even if Verratti comes.

Sure thing. All i am trying to say is Messi will benefit more with Verratti playing closer to him than not

Absolutely he will benefit from a midfield that can get him ball and he can play off of.

Eriksen is very much under rated in this forum. I would take him for gomes in a heart beat.
