Transfers and Rumours - old thread

Barca offered 35 million for david luiz but it seems like chelsea rejected the offer :s

good because its to much money for luiz

I don't buy all this "player x has reached personal terms with club x, deal between club to club not yet", typical rumors all around internet worlds lately.
And isn't that talk to the player before reach agreement between clubs is illegal?

Yes it is strictly forbidden when the player is owned by another club. It would be disgraceful if we have actually done that.

Anderlecht still trying to sign Dos Santos according to the Belgian papers.

According to the Roma director's tapped phone conversation, Marquinhos would go for 25m

Then wtf are we waiting for? Get him

 

[Barcilliant]

Neither do i; he'd be great IMO.

It's because as certain CBs get mentioned a lot, it's like there's chum in the water and the CB-hungry sharks get into a feeding frenzy.

Subotic would be a better CB than Luiz and Agger; perhaps his problem is that he cant play more than 1 position, or he isnt a ball-playing Cb, or..., or...He's just a solid tackling, marking, heading, defending CB - and therin lies the problem!


I wish we'd just buy a player who has spent his career playing in one position and specializes in that!

Subotic's problem is he is an honest defender not some glamour big name. He is a tough no nonsense defender who doesn't look as good as Hummels does but is probably better in defence then Hummels. Hummels has more skill but Subotic is the better defender. Dortmund are smart. They would sell Hummels but not Subotic.

Haha its seems like nobody want to give us a defender because that would make us stronger again hahaha

Why is that funny?

Subotic is easily the better of the two, but the relatively deep defensive line they play in Dortmund compliment both his and Hummel's strengths.

Barcelona and Thiago Silva have a principal deal on a 5-year contract. Player could now talk with PSG to express his wish to leave. [sport]

None of the other Barca news outlets are running with this one (big shock). You have to hand it to Sport for tenacity if nothing else.

Is this before or after we swap Villa&Thiago with Rooney?

Exactly right on the deep line. This is why most CBs can't cut it in a high line system. Even the players with enough speed to play the high line (recovery) do not have the mental ability to react or the technique to distribute. You need all of the above qualities.

Pique doesn't have ideal athletic ability for the system, but mentally and technically he is off the charts.

The club must think more out of the box than just saying I want the best in the world (Thiago Silva) or one of the best young players in the world that everyone knows about, and would bid on within a half second of anything Barcelona does (Marquinhos).

The club can't be too picky given lack of depth. There are quality defenders with international experience who can fit this system. More than just TS that's for sure (and much cheaper). Then, if/when Thiago finally leaves, you can buy a quality midfielder.

i remember the days when we signed the likes of marquee and yaya, seems now a days our scouting network only knows players from the top teams in the top leagues

Vilanova's centre back options: 1 Thiago Silva, 2 David Luiz, 3 Marquinhos. Liverpool's Daniel Agger has also support within the club. [md]
