Barca Transfers and Rumors

We lack depth.

We have two wingers. We have one LB as Gerard Martin is a total liability. Playing both wingers and our LB almost every match is not a good plan. Same goes for Cubarsi too tbf.

You're asking Flick for miracles when all your rivals domestically and around in Europe are improving their squads. Not even asking for 100m superstars, but we need quality depth.

That IMO is non-negotiable. Deco and Laporta need to get it done.

Now we still have until the end of August so it's not like we're out of time and there's no guarantee that Liverpool, RM, City and other clubs will be much better even with all their signings.

Barca doesn't need to keep up with the Jones's. Let them clubs buy whoever we can't stop them anyways.

Torrents could be a solution to Martin who I agree sucks and probably cost us more than anyone vs Inter.

Most of these wingers out there are flawed/not Barca material. Just roll with a loan for Rashford and hope Virgili comes and does something possibly.

I think Christensen will be back to his best and can help add depth. Yes he is injury prone but so was Inigo and so is Araujo. Let's see if Flick can help with them the way he helped with Pedri.

We need a #9 and honestly this will be the reason we perform poorly this coming season. Lewa is old and washed up. He can't last a season. But we also have no way of replacing him this window. We need to just save and all-in a #9 next summer. We can't keep spending the same 60m every summer because these #9's are going to be 100m plus. At some point we have to think ahead

I'm still surprised people think we can win the Champions, when we can't spend and other big teams are spending like crazy. As things stand we have absolutely ZERO chance of winning that competition.

We need 2 players for depth minimum. But even more than that we need 1 or 2 players to come in and refresh the first team. It's clear we don't have the money for both, although we could refresh the first Xi ' in house ' by making Ferran first choice ahead of Lewa, Araujo over Inigo and potentially Fermin over Olmo.

If we are being true to ourselves, everything is lined up for Madrid to win, and it's only down to their ineptitude and Flick's brilliance, that they are not doing so.

Everything you said word for word I agree with. We aren't back fully until at least Camp Nou is fully completed with max capacity available. We need La Masia miracles maybe up to 3 of them.

Trust Masia, trust the process.

We will make the CL SF at least next season, barring anything crazy happening.

Red cards, injury crisis, shitting refs, so on

I agree. We can win, if everyone happens to stay healthy and good form(not dead tired)but again that won't happen if they play every game.

We need some depth badly. Quickly.

We will just need to make sure Araujo is on vacation

There are no adequate options on the market to strengthen the left flank.

Rashford - this name even sounds funny in the context of Flick's football, which requires maximum efficiency without the ball.

Diaz - he will be 29 in 4-5 months. Paying 70+ million euros + a huge salary (which he will obviously demand) is absurd.

What other options could there be? Coman or Gnabry from Bayern? These are players with a bad medical card and both are clearly long past their peak. Bayern itself dreams of getting rid of them.


Fofana from Lyon? He is a very "raw" player. Besides, I am not sure that he is not overrated. Barcola from PSG? Despite the fact that he is not a starter, he gets a lot of playing time. If I am not mistaken, he is in the top 3 among PSG players in this indicator. Besides, we have a terrible relationship with PSG. They will ask for a lot of money for him. Besides, he himself wants to extend the contract.


There aren't many left wingers on the market.

That's why I didn't criticize Deco and the club too much.

He's right about that.

Has bayern, us and arsenal are finding out.

PS fuck Nico Williams

It's a blessing in disguise. People are freaking out because we haven't bought anyone except Garcia and Roony.

But who else out there is really going to improve us? Only thing that will improve Barca would be a top #9. We can't afford anyone this go round so maybe we just save this year and drop 120m on one next transfer window.

Liverpool is out here spending all this money on players but is anyone jealous of those players outside of Wirtz? He's the only great player they signed

Nah, Frimpong is fantastic as well. There are plenty of positions we could improve if we had the money. AM (Olmo is useless since he's injured 60% of season, exactly why I spent all last summer saying I didnt want him), LB, RB, LW and ST. Not to mention a top class CB. We dont NEED these signings, but it would easily make us better.

Signing Frimpong alone as RB and moving Kounde back to CB would improve us drastically.

I always knew we'd still be broke this summer, the writing has been on the wall all season. I was hopeful for a LB signing, and a LW loan. Was pleasantly surprised when we got a GK, but I'd still be happy with only a LW loan and LB. Them teasing us with a big LW signing was criminal.

LB and LW loan and let Flick continue to cook.

Frimpong is just wingback I get people love offense but he's dogshit.

Anyways I'm not here to argue because I mostly agree. Olmo deserves another shot. If he can get on the Pedri plan of health. If not Fermin can take it.

This will be the year of Christensen the same how last season was the year of Inigo unexpectedly at CB

Maybe we sign someone but at this point I kind of doubt it. Only Trashford makes sense just in that he can start time to time and just be a loan.

I have not heard a single peep about an LB these days. No credible rumours.

We really are relying on Martin again next season?

No chance we're getting a LB at this point, maybe some last minute Cancelo deal but hope not. We should just hope that the rumors about Torrents getting a real chance and being better than Martin were true.
