Nico Williams

[El Ilusionista]

Going from Nico Williams to Dani Olmo LW is such a downgrade lol. If we are gonna buy Olmo just to use him as a LW only shows we never learn and are always making the same mistakes. We bought Coutinho and Griezmann and tried to use them as LW.

Dani Olmo is a CAM not a LW, Flick sees Pedri as his CAM which probably means Olmo is his LW if Nico doesn’t come. Also another season no proper DM. We never learn do we.

 

[jamrock]

If we were going for both Olmo and Williams, means we didn't/don't see olmo as a LW ain't it.

Could fill in there depending on the game given how sort the squad is.

 

[Messi983]

Don't think it was ever Olmo AND Williams.

 

[mc_lovin]

If we fail to sign anyone, would any of you mind Depay returning on a short term deal, hypothetically assuming he stays fit?

Fuck me

Options offensively are shit apart from Nico. Just try to find a DM we can splash 60m in case he stays at Bilbao. We will know tomorrow I guess.

But we could sign prime Busquets there and it wouldn't matter if we look at Real frontline and ours right now.

 

[Messi983]

Depay, lol. Better give a chance to Pau Victor.

And Ansu. And Roque.

 

[khaled_a_d]

If we don't get Nico, either register Roque and live with having him, or blow all the money on Zubimendi buyout clause.

 

[Messi983]

Register Roque and Ansu and get Merino.

 

[malvolio]

Ansu and Roque are not footballers. They can't get a game at Las Palmas right now. What's this retarded logic of bringing up their names on a daily basis?

 

[Messi983]

You are clueless as always.

 

[fergus90]

To be fair, I'd much rather the club sign no one and keep recovering the financial situation, than waste salary margin on fodder like Bellerin, Alonso, Romeu, Roberto renewal, Torres etc.

 

[Porque]

One thing for sure, if we don't get Nico and Olmo and no one comes, then Laporta is talking cock about us being back to normal finances.

 

[fergus90]

I thought it was a very strong possibility that no one was signing the moment he sacked Xavi for speaking out about the squad. Didn't mind poor performances but when he spoke about the clubs situation and the difficulty to sign players, he threw a fit.

The fact it's almost August and there's not a single body through the door, plus Flick's comment about the importance of La Masia. All roads have been pointing that way for months.

 

[Porque]

Question is how would the squad be if we spent the Roque money on a Xavi request like Aleix Garcia.

 

[ajnotkeith]

As others have mentioned here it's probably better to sign nobody if it means that in a few years we can go back to the market with our house in order.

Scraping together pennies to sign players every window and desperately raising funding through questionable decisions can't go on forever. Can't kick the can down the road for eternity.

I'd rather a few years of subpar squad then this nonsense every transfer window where the club are scrambling to get money for signings. It will lead to a better business position in the long run and also give us scope to add value to our young talents.

 

[mc_lovin]

Spending money doesn’t seem to be the question here.
