Transfers and Rumours - old thread

Keep Cuenca ,rest should be sold

Barcelona will sign a keeper for B-team this summer. Sports director Zubizaretta has ruled out to sign anyone from his ex-club Athletic [md]

That rules out Kepa who is a very talented young Spanish keeper, same with Unai Simon who is also talented but very very young. Not sure if Zubi was talking about just goalkeepers because if he was talking about not signing any Athletic players in general, that would rule out a lot of useful guys like Aurtenexte, Ramalho, Amorebieta, and even possibly Muniain.


Also:

De Gea (Man United): "Joining Barça? I have a contract at Man United, I feel great there and I think it'll be my team for many years." [oc]

Dammit. He would have been a really good option.

 

[FCBarca]

Linked to the club as the Xavi-heir, İlkay Gündoğan...Gotta say, I really like the player

 

[abual3bed1]

Muniain would be an excellent choice imo.

Yup, quality. Though I don't see Barça ever going after a non-Masia short midfielder.

I love Gundogan, but there's no way he's coming. We have too many great midfielders already and his playing style is quite similar to that of Thiago.

 

[DonAndres]

Muniain would be an excellent choice imo.

Not doing well right now at Athletic but a move to Barca could rejuvenate his career. He somewhat reminds me of Iniesta in a way.

With 3 promoted, 4 back from loan, and 3 transfers, Barcelona will have to release 12-13 players this summer to get squad of 22-23. [md]

I can see fontas, afellay, jds, bojan all leaving for good. But 8 more? They dont say which 3 would be promoted, but more will need to be loaned or sold.

 

[Deco 20]

I wouldn't promote at all, but I guess they're speaking of Oier, Sergi Roberto and Rafinha or Deulofeu.

Oier, JDS, Fontás, Afellay all need to go. Bartra and Montoya should be given chances, Roberto should be loaned out and I guess a striker might be sold.

The 3 (automatic) promotions are Oier, Rafinha and Roberto.

Oier and Rafinha will be immediately loaned. Roberto will stay.
Bojan, Afellay, Fontas, Bartra and JDS are certain goners.
Valdes might leave this summer.
Villa will most likely leave this summer, looks like Xavi was the only reason he stayed beyond the winter transfer window in the first place. Didn't commit himself to the club a few days ago when asked about his future (understandably).
Abidal might play a bit at the end of the season as a goodbye gift to the fans and call it a day afterwards.
If Neymar arrives this summer, Tello is a goner. 100 % goner once Neymar comes AND Deulofeu gets promoted, which will happen within the next 2 seasons.
Cuenca might stay another season at Ajax.

That's 12. If Montoya gets loaned out (likely): 13. Sounds more drastic than it actually is. Most of those players don't play much of a role in the squad anyway, except Villa.

The 3 transfers are: GK (better not be Reina), CB (better not be Vermaelen), Neymar obviously.

My prediction also that Dani is a goner this summer. Song or Mascherano? Song needs to go if it was up to me as Mascherano can play defensive backup and alternate with Busquets.

 

[Chainsaw]

I think that Villa and Sanchez are goners. Unless they suddenly turn it around in these last few months.

 

[spark]

I doubt Rafinha is going on loan, has been as important as Luis Alberto and Deulo this season, i.e better than Sergi. If they are going to immediately loan him, why would he renew (contract expires next year), especially with a father like Mazinho. It would be particularly unfair when arguably less talented players like Cuenca or Tello who did less in the second division got full audition years. If adriano wont lower his salary to reflect the injury prone player he is, it isnt certain he will stay either so that could open space for Montoya.

Wow, did you speak with Tito?

Rafinha is better than Roberto ,he is the one who should stay
Sanchez should be sold tbh ,Villa could stick around with more playing time lately

Think that any good offer will get Song out of this team
