Valbuena isnt a CM.He plays as winger and as attacking midfielder where he has been used most in Marseille
Then I'm guessing we're interested in him for our RW spot.
We need someone a lot younger than that Valbuena guy if Thiago leaves. If not, we don't need another midfielder.
Then again, according to Wikipedia, he can play as a winger as well. Maybe we're interested in him for our RW spot?
Madrid selling their garbage to Napoli for these prices makes me sick.
if we want a right winger why not tell bayern to give us 6m-12m+shaqiri(a stronger,younger and faster player than alexis)for thiago
Why do ppl think we will buy a replacement for the fringe player Thiago? It is extremely unlikely. Besides, with Iniesta and Cesc focusing on midfield this season with the signing of Neymar, we have enough midfielders if Thiago leaves. Busquets is far more adept to playing the Xavi role, and we have a good DM in Song who will be fully adapted next season.
Up front we have 4 players for 2 positions, as Messi is never injured. Alexis or Cesc can play up front in the 1 game Messi is out.
We only need a couple of CBs. We have money to buy 2 if we get 22m for Thiago.
Cesc is not good forward,its clear that he works out more as attacking midfielder and neither like a CM too..Why do ppl think we will buy a replacement for the fringe player Thiago?

Yes there isnt anyone really that can replace Messi when he is injured or whatever.Personally im always of the idea having a striker someone like Lewandowski.Messi should always have his free role,seriously he would play just behind him and cutting sometimes to the right i see nothing wrong with that.Cant understand that everybody says a a striker cant fit into this team.Without Messi we are left we Neymar that can bring some goals.Otherwise we have no goalscorersRegarding who should play up front when messi is out, it has to be a player who already plays alot IMO. I dont think it is a good idea to put a player who has been on the bench for weeks or months on such a crucial position. I find that Alexis has done really well in a central position, so I prefer him there in such a case.
Cesc was brilliant in the first half of the season as CM. I think we can also play Cesc in the hole in front of a 3 man midfield, and allow Messi and Neymar to roam up front and cause havoc. Abit similar to the Milan game at Camp Nou.
