Transfers and Rumours - old thread

[Blaugrana Man]

Barca are telling anyone who will listen that a defender "is not our priority" so to keep us from being killed in negotiations. I expect someone to come, though we may have to wait until winter, and then make a reactionary purchase for an exorbitant fee.

Getting a defender may not be a priority, but it shouldn't be that hard to at least get an el cheapo defender that's better than Barta for 4th choice.

Except it has to be a priority. Barça needs a defender for 3 seasons now. The inability to get one it's beyond pathetic at this point.

Clubs are not selling because its too expensive to buy and replace these players. Unless a club is willing to pay a silly price the selling club wont sell. I think Tata is not sure about Mathieu or we would have bought him by now. Why hasnt Tata tried montoya at cb? He would be ideal there imo.

I have a feeling we will try for Mangala too.

Buyout fee €52 million. !!! No thanks .

 

[Zincubus]

Right . When is our first meeting with Real Madrid ?

 

[ryuken]

To sum it up, we are cheap and cant get any1. Kudos to the management for ignoring this obvious problem for another year

Still think we should try Doria. 13M buyout clause, seriously before Chelsea gets him and he ends up a world beater

I cannot even begin to believe how it's possible that we could ignore this issue for ANOTHER year! It was already a huge issue last summer and I was shocked nobody was brought in then it even more obvious that it was necessary this past season. It's like having a really nice new car that you just got new wheels for but the engine needs work yet you refuse to fix it. Defense is extremely important. Look at Bayern last year. Dortmund too has a great defense.

Honestly from what I have seen he has potentials to become a great defender in the very near future 2 or 3 years tops. . . Would be a bargain.

Nope. Zubi and co would rather wait for him to be a great CB and then try to sign him for 30m and Chelsea will say no negotiation before 60m. That's how our board roll You can replace "Doria" with any cheap and prospective talented CB.

no new world class cb = no la liga and champions league.
the league starts this week whats going on some heads need to roll

I love the way the club seem to stumble through this situation, we have needed at least 2 cb's for the last couple of years but still can't manage to do a deal. do we have scouts ?
