Nelson Semedo

Adebayor? Never heard that or remember him being linked. I can remember names such as Rossi and Forlan, but Adebayor?

Could be wrong but something makes me think he wanted him.

For real? He was Pep no1 target and wanted Eto out for him in 2008. Arsenal refused to sell unless it is for crazy price and at the end Txiki told Pep to suck it and work with Eto.
I mean I really like Pep, but sometimes I feel he shouldn't choose his own squad for his own good

This is the greatest flaw of his style. He never liked big personality types. In some cases these players can really step it up when it matters most. Eto'o was a huge player, and this was showed at the most critical times.

Adebayor was a nutter and had a big personality, so too did Ibra so trying to move Etoo on for those players makes even less sense.

Cat radio confirming it.

I guess you can say that he didn't know these players very well then.

He didn't know until the end as his last signings were flops Alexis and Cesc.

Pep believes in his own ideas too much, once he signed he wanted new blood. Sort of BBZ cycle theory. He wanted Eto,Deco and R10 out.

They dislike the price, sort of the same when we sell a player and everyone thinks RM would have sold him for 400% of that price. 30M is fair for him tbh.



Hmmm,this look exactly like Gomes deal last summer, we are linked to him then all rumors disappears and suddenly we sign him.
I said around a month ago that I think Semedo is our signing, he screamed too much of Roberto type of deal. I think this was all Roberto more than anything. We probably either used Bellerin name to distract media or to assess if Arsenal will sell for less. But I don't think Valverde rejected Bellerin then in next day we had agreement for Semedo

We were also linked with Seri earlier on

They played only 1 season under him and they both did pretty well considering it was their first season. Not exactly the best examples imo.

Now we just need a black LB

Benfica fans on forum seem to be unhappy that price is too low.

Actually they seem mightly pissed off about the fee of 30+5.

Some Benfica fans arent happy because another important player of his defense that leaves(after lindelof), while others are happy with the 30m. They are used to lose key players every season. Thats normal for Porto, Benfica and Sporting. I find very disturbing most of you being happy with this signing. I guess you dont even dream whats coming. Spent 35m in a guy worse than vidal and sergi roberto for RB is beyond me (Dont hate me, but i saw some games of him).
Madrid transfers policy has been impeccable in the last years. Barça ex-spine (Messi, Iniesta, Pique, Busquets, Mascherano cannot hold the top level forever) while the youngsters and some horrible signings have not the quality Barça needs. Buy 2 young quality midfielders and sell the garbage. Is that so difficult to understand and execute?
I fear for the future of the club. Messi cannot carry the team alone another year. Well, its enough to win copa del rey, but to win champions and la liga isnt.

Worse than Vidal and Roberto? Sounds worrying.

Messi isn't alone. He is surrounded by world class players like Busquets, Neymar, Suarez, Pique and very good players like Rakitic, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Iniesta, Umtiti and others.
