Nelson Semedo

[FinBarcelonafan]

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

To be honest, Vermaelen was good player, but he was just never healthy(which was common knowledge, so huge fail by Barca..). Vidal showed some potential and got injured, terrible timing.. Even Arda did quite okay at the start of last season, but he is lazy bum. His attitude could have cost us many times. (Vs PSG and vs Real obv.)

I had a dream we signed Semedo last night. Seri as well... good dream.

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.

Just stop okay. I stopped reading after you wrote that. So now what, just because Lucho and this Board's fucking incompetence to buy a proper RB 2 years ago, and Roberto being the scapegoat of all that, and now with a new manager coming in, you would keep on using him there??? I can't believe you people would still avoid buying a proper fucking RB finally, so Sergi Roberto could finally get his more than deserved chance in midfield...and ONLY midfield! Cause guess what, if we don't get Verratti, Sergi is probably our best bet there (with Rakitić taking on the Iniesta role, since he himself is gonna most likely take on Xavi's 2015 role - coming off the bench impact player).

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare

FC Barcelona have offered 30M for Benfica full-back Nelson Semedo (23). [cat radio]

Cat radio reporting it now aswell. Seems like it will probably happen.

Vidal at RB doesn't sound like a really bad idea if he stays fit for the most part. Maybe not barca level RB but still not a disaster or something. Would be happy if we get a proper RB but if not then its not that bad imo. Come to the midfield and thats where we are royally fucked and need a dire upgrade and not getting a good midfielder is definitely going to be a disaster.

So yeah I would definitely put getting a midfielder as way ahead priority comapred to getting a RB. And they way things are going we are going to have a midfield similar to the kind of defence we had a few years ago after puyol's retirement.

Vidal is a disaster defensively

Have Benfica accepted it?

[Egert]

Nothing on that. I think they will not accept this, there were rumors like a month ago that Benfica want at least 40M for him. Maybe if we offer 30M + 10M in variables or something like that.

I don't get it how can someone say that not having a RB in the squad is not a problem?!?!? WTF? Vidal as a RB is not a bad idea??? It's a terrible idea and it's a HUGE problem!!!! It's embarrassing for a club like Barca, not to mention this was the main reason we had sooo many problems on the right side last year.

RB is A TOP PRIORITY!

 

[Dan1983]

RB is indeed a must. No two ways about it. Another season as Roberto and Vidal as our RB would be bad.

True story. We just have one natural RB in our squad and that is 22yo-zero-experience-Palencia.

Oh sorry, I forgot Lord Douglas.

Ojogo saying that Benfica wants 50M for him.

[DonAK]

They can have 30 + 20m in Balon D Or clauses

Says Barça have agreed personal terms with Nelson Semedo but not yet with Benfica.

They want €50M but Barça is offering €35M+5M. Deal could be closed in the next few hours.
