Offtopic: My first post here on the forum. Yey!

Ontopic: I don't think Barca need Neymar at all, he has about the same style as Sanchez, and Barca need stronger player upfront. In matches like yesterday I don't think Neymar will be able to add much. In the defense Hummels, Thiago Silva or Kompany would be great. Barca also need to find another way to play matches like the one yesterday, we have seen it way to many times. Things needs to change. Maybe another way of playing, or change the roles and maybe edit abit on the formation. What do you guys think?

Welcome!

I think Neymar has qualities Sanchez lacks. Fundamental difference is, Neymar uses both feet comfortably.
But I agree with you on making our defense a priority.

If the management decides to keep Valdes until the end of his contract there is no point in buying a keeper until the end of next season.

Then the price will be even higher because we'll be even more desperate.

Victor should have kept his departure a secret.

Sky Italia - Inter do not want to sell Samir Handanovic and the 30 million offer from Barcelona is not going to be enough.

That's the most ridiculous story I've seen. 30 million for a keeper is laughable- especially for one with NO high level experience to speak of club wise or internationally.

This whole Handanović rumor is completely silly. Inter doesn't even own 100% of his contract, just 50%.

yeh, would have to deal w/ Udinese as well... if any part of this rumor is true I wonder how much that has to do with it, since Inter would not see that entire 30m why agree to it? Unless it means Barca offer 30m to Inter & some additional fee to Udinese on top of it, which is even more ridiculous. Would not read too much into it.

Yeah, but that Buffon transfer was in, like, 2001 when he was excellent and one of the best, if not the best, in the world.
