Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Nothanks]

1) sell dead weight (gomes, rafinha, turan, rakitic, paco, verm,) also sell mascherano if he asks for it (we should respect it if he wants to go back to argentina)

2) replace the players

a) gomes, - put sergi roberto in mid..
b) rafinha/turan - don't need replacements
c) Rakitic -- I guess that young german Goretzka
d) Paco -- a young Striker/Left forward hybrid
e) mascherano / verm - Mina and young European CB (as we are being rumored to look for)

3) buy a proper substitute rightback for Semedo

4) look for iniesta replacement (coutinho etc)

If we go nuts in the transfer window (unrealistic as hell, but that would be amazing):

GK's:
we are good here

Defenders:
Out: Mascherano, Vermaelen
In: Mina, Upomecano/De Ligt, Palencia (Roberto to MF or RW, where we need him)

Midfielders:
Out: Arda, Gomes, Turan, Rakitić
In: Coutinho, Alena, Goretzka, Lemar

Forwards:
Out: Paco, Rafinha, Vidal, Deulofeu (his footballing IQ is not high enough)
In: Martial, Arnaiz

With that squad we would dominate. But it's just a dream, because it's financially almost impossible

Amazed by how many people wan Martial.

He would need to change a lot about himself to be a use at Barca.

Need more work rate and pace to compliment Messi not sulky, often lazy man child like Martial.

With transfers I posted he would have a hell of the competition on the LW: L. Suarez, D. Suarez, Arnaiz, Lemar, Coutinho. So yeah, on the second thought, if we would do this, we would't really need him.

If we got both Lemar AND coutinho consider Alena's barca career over

I'm not all that impressed with palencia but idk that just might be me


----Suarez----Messi----Dembele
-----Coutinho-------Goretzka
----------------Busi
-Alba---Umtiti-----Pique----Semedo
---------------Marc


--???-------Messi---------Deulofeu
-----Iniesta----------S.Roberto
------------Paulinho
-Digne---Yina---???------???
--------------Jasper

no room for rafinha / gomes / rakitic / turan / paco

the odds ones out would be d.Suarez and alena but the solution to that is either not buy one of Goretzka or Coutinho and develop them which i see many people want to develop Alena.
i guess maybe they could take the false 9 role

Dont think those two would mean end of Alena but cant see them going after Lemar.

I dont rate Palencia as high as most folk on here seem to either.

 

[FCBfan22]

So by positions (433, false 9) the squad would look something like:

GK: Ter Stegen, Cillesen
RB: Semedo, Palencia
CB: Umtiti, Pique, Mina, Upomecano/De Ligt
LB: Alba, Digne
CDM: Busquets, Roberto, Paulinho
LCM: Coutinho, Lemar, Iniesta, D. Suarez
RCM: Goretzka, Paulinho, Alena, Roberto
LW: Lemar, D. Suarez, Arnaiz, L. Suarez, Dembele
CF: Messi, Alena, L. Suarez
RW: Dembele, Roberto, Lemar

That squad with a coach who knows how to rotate would tear teams apart.

If there is still no room for Alena, I would wait for a few years and develop him as Messi's false 9 replacement.

So the 1st team would be:

-------------Ter Stegen----------
Semedo---Pique---Umtiti---Alba
-------------Busquets------------
-Goretzka/Paulinho---Coutinho-
---------------Messi--------------
Dembele------------------Lemar

I don't see Luis Suarez turning into bench material in 2018/19 season.
Lemar and Coutinho together i doubt could ever happen

Cou in January, Lemar in the summer (before the WC)

that first team for me but i'd get a CB that will compete with Pique for a first team slot, he needs a kick up the ass

 

[Barcilliant]

What is the situation with Aubemeyang? It would be very interesting to see him here at Barca.

 

[Barcaman]

Why not just promote Alena in January.

 

[Galning]

Why promote Aleñá when you can buy Di María

 

[MessiCam]

Why not just promote Alena in January.

That’s what I think will happen if they can trim the side.

Anyone else impressed by Unai Núñez? seem to be a CB we should keep an eye onto, Bilbao has been producing some interesting CB lately
