Transfers and Rumours - old thread

[instinct]

Maybe for once we should try SELLING players. Jeez. I love the players we have, but it's not a good thing we can't seem to sell for good amounts of money. Get rid of Mascherano or Song, Afellay, Bojan, Fontas, JDS, Villa etc. Should be able to make some money on them, right?

I don't think that we should sell all those players. Especially Song is an important rotation player for Busquets who replaced him relativeley well after Busi's injury. Mascherano is also an important player for us, because he shows some nice tackles (e.g against Malaga) and I think he is important to keep the strength in our defence because compared to Pique, he often stays in Barca's half of the pitch.

I think some of them will be. But it seems jds will be loaned. That could happen with some of that list too. Afellay, Fontas, Jds and Cuenca should be sold, imo.

What did they say at first? Varane, Thiago Silva, Hummels, Marquinhos, David Luiz...
What now? Vermaelen, Mathieu and Inigo Martinez

Now MD says it's going to be either Mathieu, Thiago Silva or David Luiz.
Shouldn't draw conclusions yet, it's only June.

I think the main problem is Tito wanting only Thiago Silva. He seems reluctant with other players. It would be better if he chose someone else fast, the longer the wait, the harder it'll be to get someone.

Yep. Too bad he is too expensive. Psg also has no reason to sell. I'd give alexis, pedro and cash for him.

No,they usually don't count the installment thing ,mainly b/c all transfers are done this way ,we are probably still payibg for Sanchez and Cesc till now ,and whoever we are gonna sell we wren't gonna get all money this summer ,this is how it works

They budgeted 10M for Neymar last season. They budgeted 30M this season. The extra 17M he cost has not been taken from the transfer budget, as Bartomeu said they had enough of a "buffer" to do this. They're basically just going to have 17M more in debt than they otherwise would have. So they'll still have a transfer budget of at least 10-20M + any player sales.

Weren't there rumors about them being interested in Alves? It's a long shot, but I can see them accepting a player + cash bid. And Silva's apparently a Barca fan, so I can see him leaving if we show interest. Plus, we'd give him a good chance of winning the CL, a better one than he'd have at PSG, at least, so there's another reason he'd be interested in a move to Barca. Again though, it's a bit of a long shot.

I'd love Silva, and I think he'd definitely be the best option, but Tito should be more open to other options.

Edit:

Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg are interested in Barcelona centre back Andreu Fontas (23), who played on loan at Mallorca this year [sport]

Take whatever they offer and run.

I choose not to get my hopes up and I think we will only get Neymar this season lol. Who need CB when we have Adriano - Aka the fragile man

I'm sure the team is actively soliciting bids for Afellay, Bojan, JDS and Fontas. Probably Cuenca, too. And possibly Bartra. Not all are likely to get sold, so the team will loan the others.

The club has made it pretty clear that Villa can leave if he wishes. I'm sure he is now negotiating with other teams, something will happen. Villa will bring more than all those other 6 combined.

There are probably other players who could go only after the team signs their replacements. So, if another forward is signed, another forward could leave. If a top-level CB is signed, Song could go. The team loves Masch, he is not leaving, though he could get time at both DM and CB next year. I would be shocked if any midfielder is purchased, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Cesc and Thiago will be here next year. If a combo CB/FB is bought, in addition to another CB, Montoya could be loaned.

They are sh*t anyways.

Famous names don't win games.

Barcelona are doubting if they will sign Monchengladbach goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen (21) already this summer or in January. [md]

 

[Boris]

Sh*t ? Cavani will be a major upgrade to this team. Fearsome attack, and hard defense. But ok, at least he's not going to RM.

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

Fee wasn't agreed at all, Napoli wants the 63m (some say it can be 63 + variables). All that happened was an offer was received. Nothing has been accepted yet from what I see.

Youth players Sergi Canos (Liverpool), Julio Pleguezuelo Selva (Arsenal) and Josima Quintero (Chelsea), all three 16, move to England. [sport]
