Jo?o Cancelo has always been clear that FC Barcelona is the club which would suit him the best and he?s crazy to sign. [SPORT English]
Too much smoke, we will get Cancelo and Alba.
Setien will be able to play his favoured 3 at the back formation.
Coutinho will be swapped with Kante so we get a FDJ and Kante double pivot.
We will play 343
Neymar Martinez Messi
Alba FDJ Kante Cancelo
Upamecano Pique Langlet
MATS
I can live with these tbh It is a well balanced formation.
Umtiti,Coutinho Semedo, Rakitic, Vidal Dembele, Griezmann Will all have to be sold for this to be realistic and we will rely on La Masia for depth.

Well I would like something like this. But I think Busqets is starter for sure with De Jong and I am not sure if there is some realistic interest Kante.
Of course these 3 at front....We are not close getting any of these as it seems now.
We could get one of them. Griezmann is not going anywhere.
Unpopular opinion: Roberto and Emerson for depth would be more than fine. Maybe I am biased, but Semedo is just bland. Such an uninspired player, Emerson looks tenacious at the very least and Roberto is solid.
If we can finance Upamecano or the likes with that it would be a win in my book.

With Cancelo, you are going to get an RB with can attack but arguably a lot worse than Roberto is at defending.
At least with Roberto, even if he has flaws in his defensive game, you can at least see he's trying hard out there to minimize it the best he can. Cancelo, on the other hand, is about as reliable in that aspect as Dembele in staying fit. Doesn't have that mentality who can dig in and get dirty if needed. He's more than likely going to leave the RCB for dead than trying to make an effort to get back in time.
The guy turns 26 this year, at least with Emerson he's still very young and that mentality to improve as we seen at Betis.

Has there been any single rumour about Coutinho for Kante or is that just dreaming? Don’t get me too hyped, would be a unbelievable transfer.

Sell this bum
Barcelona offered N?lson Semedo a new deal until June 30, 2025, but he and his agent Mendes didn't want to sign it. [sport] https://t.co/OPm6WqvYZE

You are wrong. Semedo is not bland. Roberto solid? Are you serious? And Emerson is just the same type of player as Junior Firpo. So no to both of them.
We don't need to worry about positions where we are OK for now. Our main problem is the central defenders and yes, we need to work hard to get at least Upamecano.
Of course is not that good. S.Mane, L.Sane, CR7 and Neymar will make him coo-coo. Emerson is the same shit as Firpo.

No idea why I am replying as you are probably the worst user around right now, but Roberto and Semedo are roughly equal. I personally prefer Semedo, but we are better off if we can finance someone like Upamecano (or the likes) with him. Thats all I am saying, which I guess is not the most outlandish opinion.
As for Semedo being bland: he is. Boring personality (as far as you can tell from a distance), no offensive output or spark. A placeholder at best. Hes technically quite sharp and fast, but thats it. Hes being hailed as this defensive fullback, but if you compare him to guys like Abidal or Mendy hes not all that either.
Emerson is rawer, and looks chaotic at times, but he shows a lot of grit (more than nice guy Semedo) - and at the very least is a proven La Liga quality fullback. The only questionmark is whether Betis would let him go or not (I dont think that will be a problem).

I somehow wish we'd make the deal with City to see Semedo in a working team beasting it up. Even if we'd lose one of the best fullbacks around at the moment.
Semedo's been linked with City, PSG, Juventus, Atletico. That's half of Europe's elite sides. If he was crap defensively, Simeone, the greatest defensive manager in the world, wouldn't have tried to sign him as part of the Griezmann deal. It's just ABC logic people are somehow missing.
Top, quality prospects, are the victims of the shit that's happening at the club. And yet, some make them scapegoats. Boggles the mind I kid you not. There's nothing wrong with the player.
