Matthijs de Ligt

[DonAK]

Juve was interested in Todibo when we got him. Dembele and Todibo for De Ligt seems fair

Todibo is doing well for Nice and I believe they have a buy option. They will probably trigger that.

I do agree with that, but if MDL pushes to leave and Raiola makes it hell on them I wouldn't give Juve a player like Araujo back here.

Hopefully they miss out on CL so they have to make some sacrifices.

Could make it harder for likes of Dembele to even agree to go there if not in CL.

Rather the qualify.. just.. but see how much a rebuild they need and MDL is about the only pawn they have of any real value to do it.

We have way bigger needs. I don't see him improving us enough to make a deal. Unless they want some of our spare parts, like Coutinho/Dembele in a trade.(which they don't)

Barca at CB are probably weaker than at any other position on the park.

It's gonna be tough for him to leave Juve before his contract is nearly over. That's why it's good to make sure when you make the step to a big club, it's the right one for you.

Not when his agent is Raiola, they will keep him happy and cash on his player, just to ensure they can keep the next generation of his client flowing their way.

Garcia is coming already, then we have Mingueza, Araujo and Pique. Lenglet as a plus. Sure, it's not world class but we need way more great winger/striker And midfielder than we need CB.

Striker is the #1 need. We have one, Braithwaite...lol

Not one of those is world class at CB or would get in other top starting line up.

Weak at CF but team is still scoring a lot of goals and by far it is the defensive side of team which is lacking more.

Griezmann, Dembele and Messi all better in central striker role than Braithwaite.

CF will be addressed in summer but defensively for me CB and defence as a whole is much weaker part of the team than attacking wise.

Sell Lenglet.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Sell Lenglet.

Sell Lenglet for 40 mil and buy good midfielder to sub either Busi or Pedri. Pedri and Busi can't play all games.

Then other money use for striker.

Feeling increasingly pessimistic about our chances of signing a true game changing striker this summer. Looks like it's going to be Memphis Depay and no one else as far as attacking players. Money for a Haaland just isn't there I'm afraid.

Yep. This is not the summer we improve the team, we try to save it from bankruptcy.. Wijnaldum, Garcia and Depay in.

Would say that a WC CB is no1 priority short term, then a striker and then a midfielder.
Main issue with midfield is that we actually have a good young group, but Koemann lack of trust to Pjanic and Puig make it really thin and overuse our players.
regarding attack I think we simply need a super star, otherwise it is better to stand bat or sign someone like Depay/Aguero for free, hope Fati is coming healthy

 

[DonAK]

I suppose if Emerson joins you can consider Sergi Roberto the midfield signing

Who is the #1 CB we could even sign? First we would have to sell Lenglet. (I would be totally fine with that..)

Also Umtiti needs to leave. We have way too many CBS.

 

[DonAK]

Barca need a CB that can command the defence and is a starter.

Pique I only see playing one more season.

MDL is that guy.

Although obviously perhaps the club cheaps out on some average CB like Pau Torres instead.
