I really hope :thiago: stays and that realizes he has to play more often

I think Gundogan would be the best one.

Gundongan would probably spoil the team's chemistry. Sure, he's a great player but I don't see him moving in to barca.

Obviously I was just kidding, hence the VdV smiley

Pjanic

Why do we need a midfielder? Xavi will play until he's 40. Deal with it. Song, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas and another loyal, Catalan La Masia prospect like Sergi Roberto is enough midfield depth.

If Thiago really leaves, Sergi Roberto being promoted is the logical replacement. He also won't complain about having a secondary role.

That's because he likely won't ever be good enough for a primary role. We need players who are fighting to be future starters, not guys like Roberto who can't impress even in Segunda.

Rafinha!

If Thiago leaves, we should use the money plus what we already have to make a move for Mata though.

Surely, but having too many stars/starters is not always a good thing, as it's hard to manage.
