    Willian

    The farther away from goal the harder it is for messi to make an impact true. Most often we think making plays from deep is good because he plays beautiful there but in CL he won't get the same breathing space and I see very few lanes being made. Mostly it is an inferior tactical plan by the...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Defensively that squad looks pretty week, now I understand why Valverde wants Willian so badly.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Arthur doesnt need to get to Xavi level to be a success. If he is able to compete with raki on equal terms this season that is a already a good sign. Rakitic could use some rest too.

    Willian

    We don't have any other targets in attack at least as per the rumors. Willian and Rabiot are the only choices. Our starting lineup is mostly unchanged. Unless suarez form returns to his peak we are not going to win CL.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Doesn't change the fact that our squad is badly managed and all the money squandered on flops like Gomes and Arda. Forget being as good as pep team, we are barely able to compete in CL. Last three years were a dissapointment, especially last season the way we lost it to a team like roma. It...

    Willian

    What we are arguing about? He is fucking 30 year old inconsistent player. Potentially 80m is beyond idiotic. People who made this decision should be fired from the job. I just cannot fathom how we keep increasing our bid. All Chelsea wants him out for that money. He is way too inconsistent and...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    It was really bad, probably the worst in a decade. If Madrid did not play that bad the begining considering injuries and fitness and all valverde woudnt be at Barca right now.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    I understand why he wants willian but i sure as hell dont like it. 4-4-2 is so boring. We might still win the league but CL is out of question without a good midfielder signing.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Yeah lol. Yes let's swap a 21y old player we bought for 150m for 30y old average player. Sounds about right. I wouldn't even swap Dembele with hazard right now. We already have Coutinho and i am happy with him, his peak maynot be as good as hazard but he is much more consistent and can score...

    Ivan Rakitić

    I would like if they take a chance at coming Euro and actually win it. Would be quite a good legacy for Raki and Modric and other croats.

    Thibaut Courtois

    Great post Wolfe. I completely agree, I have no idea why RM is signing Courtious. Navas was perfectly fine and he is not that old. De Gea was the only keeper who would be an upgrade.

    Eden Hazard

    We don't need Hazard, simple as that. We are already struggling to find a place for Dembele. But he will cost Madrid around 150+ easily. Right now they are even asking 200. Which is not unfair.

    André Gomes

    Gomes to steer Arsenal to undefeated season and winning the ballon d'Or 2019. You heard it here first. First he need to leave though which I am not sure he will. But Arsenal seems like the most probable one as Ramsey is set to leave.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    He is in a tough position. We signed him without some planning, but he is very young and Messi can play centrally also. There is a 10 year gap with Messi, eventually he can take up Messi place at RW. But for now he needs to work hard and show the good stuff whenever he gets the chance.

    Willian

    No one will deny Willian will be a good addition for 30M or so, would be a great impact from the bench. Dembele will suffer though. But 80M is just stupid and better to nurture Dembele and he will play almost as good or even better. We can use that 80m somewhere else. If we are ready to offer...

    Ivan Rakitić

    At any cost there is no way Barca should consider selling Rakitic. He is very valuable part of the team.

    Ivan Rakitić

    We did bring Arthur faster and sign Lenglet. If we could recoup the money by selling Mina and Gomes yes we can make a 150m signing if needed. I would say sell Gomes, Mina, Rafinha, Vidal and Marlon for 100M then you can splash cash on Kante, Pogba or eriskon or whoever the coach likes. But we...

    Thiago Translantara

    If Arthur manages to outperform Gomes and Denis he will get lot of minutes even if we sign a midfielder. Both Iniesta and Paulinho left and Rakitic is little more older and coming of a 70 match season he needs more rest. If we are using 4 man midfield or putting Coutinho on wing one of Gomes...

    Signing another midfielder

    Getting Kante will be damn near impossible even more so than Pogba. Chelsea is destined to lose Hazard and Courtious. That is already 2 players to replace before season starts. I doubt they want to add another key piece to the list, they would be competing for Europa league spot again if they...

    Arthur

    I don't think even Valverde knows what formation he is going to use, probably depends on our final signing. I would much prefer having Coutinho on wing and signing a midfielder.
