Nelson Semedo

We have to take a risk on someone.

No we don't, we need to get an upgrade on what we have. And what in RB while not being great isn't so awful that anyone will be worse.

I don't see what you disagree with? There's no certified WC RB out there so each and everyone of these options are risks.

Are you saying we should go in with Aleix-Palencia and only sign a WC RB who's almost a guaranteed success?

 

[Jombi]

Good players tend to move to the center very early in their career to be more involved in the game. Thats probably a big reason why its quite rare to see great RBs.

Semedo on Sport's front cover with Sidibe being the alternative.

 

[AndreC]

I agree. Aleix and Sergi Roberto are ok for RB. I repeat we must pay 120millions for verrati if psg demands. Priority is 2 good midfielders because Barça isnt Barça without control in the midfield. Gomes, Denis and some others are not Barça material and Iniesta cannot play 3 games in a row. Listen to me Bartolomeu, buy good midfielders (not adaptations, central midfielders) and we have Triplete again.

 

[Jombi]

At least the RB options seem more sensible now. 30m offer is sensible too. 50m is crazy talk.

What I mean that if Semedo -whom I didn't watch him enough-isn't better than we have,then we shouldn't gamble on him.
The board should be fairly confident that whoever they bring for the position is an upgrade. seem for midfield. No more mediocre players

Xavi saying he would not sign a player who left Barca, yet was the one who kept talking about Barca DNA and how Cesc was destined to play for Barca

Obviously, but that's still a risk.

Player might not adapt. Might get injured. Might rattle under pressure.

It's like that will all young players. They're all a risk.

They might be the most perfect player for a certain team, have performed at a high level, yet still flop.

Mario Götze?

Luckily we also focus on low risk older players like Arda, Vidal and Vermaelen.

Low risk because they're guaranteed to flop lol.

Although Vidal is useful and not that bad IMO.

 

[xXKonan]

It's good that we finally discarded the idea of signing Bellerin. Lets see if we can get this one done.

 

[Hamzah]

Vermaelen is easily good enough for a backup when he's actually healthy

 

[DonAK]

Vermaelen is easily good enough for a backup when he's actually healthy

That's the problem.

He's never healthy. Signing him made no sense based on that.

He was loaned out last season and ended up getting injured most of the time.

 

[God Serena]

Vermaelen is easily good enough for a backup when he's actually healthy

Only in the imagination is Vermaelen healthy enough to play as a backup. The guy couldn't even stay fit long enough to pass his medical. Zubi really did us a favor forcing that transfer through.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

We need a midfielder and RB.

Shouldn't be one or the other.

Both signings should be made and it's not like signing a RB will make it impossible for us to sign a good midfielder.

The issue is us being blind and chasing one target and not having a plan B.

We can wait for Verratti until the end of the window, but still won't get him.

We don't need midfielder, we need world class midfielder, like Verratti. We don't need more of Gomes, Arda etc etc. We have plenty of midfielders, who are not that great.
