Ronald Koeman

[Messigician]

he needs another forward so he can again apply his mastermind genius attacking strategy " wait last 10mins and then throw everyone with two foots up and hope some of them will score"

lmfao facts

 

[Messigician]

Greiz and Memphis are the only 2 reliable goalscorers atm. Dembele and Aguero are out till next year. Hopefully Ansu can make a comeback but he can't be relied on too soon. Braithwaite would provide a presence in the box but not much goals. Maybe Coutinho stays fit and could give us some goals, Frenkie aswell but you can't rely on 2 attackers alone for goals tbh, that's crazy. Haven't seen much of Manaj honestly.

Chill aguero is back October

"Hay una plantilla muy fuerte sin Messi" he said.

Glad he's not a moaner this Legend.

 

[El Gato]

It's the first we should reinforce. Kun's knee is busted. Ansu is a huge unknown. He needs to be gradually eased back in. I won't give him a ton of minutes anytime soon. Dembele is Dembele. That leaves us with Memphis and Greizmann alone and we're not going to get much goals from this midfield. Don't think Koeman expects too many goals from Braithwaite tbh.

Nah dawg.
1) LB to make Alba get his shit together
2) a DM/CM that immediately makes Koeman bench Busquets
3) a CB unquestionably better than all of Pique, Lenglet, Garcia

First 3 priorities in any order. Attackers getting hurt isn't a problem because creating chances isn't a problem for this side.

While Koeman might want a striker right now with Messi gone to replace all that influence, and probably because it's easier to do on this market, it's been the DM/defence that held Barca back in every season for last 4-5 years.

He needs a forward because we have no scorers left. We lost Suarez and now Messi that produced almost all our goals. We do need a consistent scorer. A left back. A center back. A right back. A Dm. A goalkeeper. And a coach.

 

[Nazario1985]

Well we can't sign anyone the way it is, we can't even register ours signings yet.

If he can't work his way with all the names we have, he needs a coach to coach him.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

The golden generation was more responsible than Pep for the CLs. Which is why Pep hasn't won the CL outside Barcelona yet.

I agree with this but i dont think we would have played the best football ever without Pep.

Suarez goals got compensated just fine last season , it's the defense that let us down.

 

[soul24rage]

yeah, both sides needed one another imo to create arguably the best club team of all time.

our defense was awul youre right but a consistent scorer beside messi would have been enough to win the title. If fati would have been available then the story would have eneded differently....

Yeah, but the player that compensated those goals have left.

Need Griezmann to step up and hope Ansu stays healthy to compensate for that loss again. Griezmann better fucking step up btw. No excuses now.

I still think what we have upfront is more than enough to compete for LL without Messi. Will end up mostly depending on how Emerson performs and if Araujo stays fit (And obviously on which players Koeman ends up relying). CL wouldn't have mattered with or without him.

Well, could argue that adding Memphis and healthy Ansu should give us a good portion of the lost goals.
That said, we will need both defense and midfield to step up.
Need to stop allowing easy goals, learn how to play highline better, and midfield need to be the creators rather than attack alone

 

[FC433]

I feel that we are going to add one player probably two. A midfielder and an attacker to replace Pjanic and Braithwaite.

 

[Barcilliant]

I agree. Another midfielder is MUCH more needed than another attacker. Even if we sell Martin we have Griezmann, Depay, Fati, Dembele and Aguero. In contrast in midfield we have De Jong, Pedri and old Busi! WTF is wrong with Koeman?!

We need a box to box midfielder eg Kessie and a world class cb. How many attackers do we need? If we have problems we can maybe try to bring someone in the January window. At the moment Barca is on life support. We have to deal with the short term first.
