Why?I must have missed something
EV is a stooge and he'll play the Galactico signings. Barto and them are not gonna buy Griez and Neymar just to have them sit on the bench. EV wouldn't dare bench Suarez or Messi either, so I assume we're gonna play some 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 type formation.
That's likely 2 midfield spots left and we don't even know if Rakitic will leave. I think realistically it'll be FDJ-Busquets, at worst we'd still have Rakitic-Busquets. Even before Griez/Ney when we had the 4-3-3, Arthur was unlikely to start next season. EV prefers Vidal/Rakitic. I think it's a high chance that all 4 attackers play and this will lead to Arthur being pushed even farther back into reserves status.
The planning from the sporting department has been atrocious. We basically just signed Neymar off a complete tangent to our intended summer transfer plan just because he said "hey I wanna come back". We have 6 players worth 100m+ in our front line and no idea what to do with any of them. Our midfield is still gonna have the dead weight that Valverde insists on playing. Our defense has stopgap level players in 2 positions.
What a mess.
