Amen to that! Time to stop wasting money and money laundering to Valencia.

France: Sidibe, Toure, Mendy (all Monaco).
Italy: Lirola (Juve), Hysaj (Napoli).
Germany: Tisserand (Inglostadt), Jung (Wolfsburg), Johnson (BMG), Piszczek (BVB).
Portugal: Semedo (Benfica).
Netherlands: Karsdorp (Feyenoord), Veltman (Ajax).

Ivanović was probably meant as a short-term solution we'd sign in January. No way we'll go for him in summer. Zubi probably would but Robert has shown a preference for younger players.
Personally I'd go for any of the mentioned Monaco players and I'd also add Fabinho to that list although he's playing as DM now. Lirola is also looking promising but I doubt Juve will sell as they probably see him as their future RB.
I meant he was on our shortlist of RBs and we were interested in signing him before we focused on Cancelo.

Time to buy him. We'll even get him cheaper like 30m now.

[MENTION=16942]BBZ8800[/MENTION] is it too early to start drinking? need anything to help me forget this season. at least Tata's BBQ's and pistachio shirt gave us a glimmer of light.We'll buy him 100% this summer.
Barto's&Robert's stupidity has no limits.
A fantastic duo
1. age 22: checked
2. coming from Valencia: checked
3. not good enough for Barca: checked
4. overpriced transfer: checked

Roberto had 4 solid signings out of his 6 (Cillessen,Digne,Umtiti & Denis considering price) and you yourself has been a fan of Gomes,and he was Lucho choice anyway
So I am not really sure what stupidity are you talking about for Roberto? You can blame him for those he didn't sign like a proper RB. But claiming he will go for Cancelo when it was a rubbish rumor that connected us to him anyway is the one that should be called stupidity. We have been rumored to follow many other RB and all of our signings last summer no tablid connected the club to them during the season

Digne: ok player, way too expensive for a backup LB who offers absolutely nothing in attack. 4/10 transfer at max
Cillessen: ok player. Since he will play only in a CDR, it is quite questionable whether we needed an expensive NT Gk for that position. 6/10 transfer
Umtiti: a starter material, 10/10 transfer
Denis: imo, this guy is way below Barca's level. I don't get that thing "considering his price". There are tons of Cms worth 10M (how much we will pay for him in the end. We are already at 1M to City, 3,5M to Villareal and 3M to City again for him for 30 appearances this season=7,5M currently) whom we could have signed and who would be equally as average. If we needed a squad player, he is awesome. Sadly, we didn't need a squad player since we already have Roberto, Rafinha, Alena is knocking at our doors, plus Samper probably wouldn't be any worse than Denis. So, we have enough of young squad level Cms. We need a starter material. We won't find that in Denis. 3/10 transfer at max
Gomes: I had hopes in him, but I gave up, like 90% of fans. In this moment, his transfer is 3/10 also.
Paco: 1/10. No need to explain.
That's average of 4,5/10 rating for these 6 transfers.
6 transfers, 1 starter (Umtiti), plus if you'll fast forward 2-3 years, maybe only Digne or Cilless will stay here as expensive subs.
Out of 6 transfers, 40M for Gomes +10M for Denis + 30M for Paco=80M for 3 total misfits.
If you think that this was a decent summer in terms of transfers, I will reply: please remember a summer of 2004' when sporting director Txiki managed to do this for not too much money (I know, you should multiply each transfer by 3x to get the current prices):
1. Larsson, free transfer
2. Deco 21M
3. Etoo 24M
4. Guily 8,5M
5. Edmilson 8M
6. Belletti 3,7M
7. Silvinho 2M
8. Albertini, loan free
8 transfers, 5 starters (Deco, Etoo, Edmilson, Belletti, Guily), 2 subs (Larsson, Silvinho), 1 player who didn't stay (Albertini).
I know, that summer was different and we were looking for starters, unlike this summer (to some extent).
But still, I can't rate a summer with 6 signings where 1 guy turned into a world class deal (Umtiti) a good job.
If you would sell tomorrow Paco, Cillessen, Gomes, Denis and Digne, our team would be exactly the same as with them.
In fact, the only guy whom we would miss to some extent is Digne since Alba is injured all the time.
If you sell Gomes/Denis, we would still have Iniesta-Raki-Arda-Rafinha-(Roberto)-(Alena)-(Samper) in midfield.
Cillessen doesn't play at all.
Paco is a horrible fit.
Imo, a truly, truly horrible transfer window of 2016'.
I don't think that we will ever again see such a poor window from our team.
This one was the closest thing to Gaspart's transfers from early 00's.
