Bernardo, even though considered to be more of a Iniesta for most of his career, certainly has the creativity, passing and work rate to become the 'new Xavi'. He was just immense in the deeper role for City last season, even though in a pair with 'a Iniesta' (KDB). People forget how good Xavi...

I think Kessie will be the natural replacement/rotation for Busquets, at least next season. Plus he will still get some games at CM too, as Torre will probably alternate between the first and B team, plus he can play on the wing too. In 2023 then Busquets most likely leaving to MLS, and we'll...

Antony is gonna flop harder than Di Maria, if he joins United.

Jesus is already replaced, while you could even say that for Sterling, considering Alvarez can also play LW and will probably get most chances there anyway, if Haaland stays fit.

So basically Dembele and Adama's baby.

Congrats to Girona, well done. Very nice to see a true fellow Catalan club back in the league. Hopefully we really make use of this send some players on loan to them. Balde being the prime candidate. Nico as well. I'd honestly send Marmol there too and just spring him out of the B team...

Ten Hag being a success in United is FAR from guaranteed, because there's way too many people (from ex players to pundits to the Glazers) who think they know what it's best for the club. Ten Hag will never get full control over everything, like he did at Ajax. Absolutely agree. He's 25 now...

Sevilla want 6M for him though, not worth it. And with Lewa and Auba both here we really shouldn't be going for anyone else, cause it's far from guaranteed that they'll contribute as much as Luuk has, especially in the limited time they'll have on the pitch. We have bigger fish to fry honestly...

Did he cry at half time of the wedding ceremony?

Not really. In 12 days this will be over, one way or another, thank fuck. Plus seems like Alemany is on his way to Leeds to reach an agreement for Raphinha, Leeds want 50M, we offered 40, so there's bound to be an agreement reached. 40M plus Mingueza or 45M cash.

If we do get Alonso (hopefully not), hopefully at least one of Gaya or Grimaldo don't extend his contract, and we get at least one of them on a free in 2023.

Getting both is absolute overkill and not necessary at all. Even if we had Van Dijk and Dias at CB, it won't mean a thing for our defense if we'll have Roberto and Alba/Alonso as our full backs. Getting a second CB in besides Christensen is necessary (to force out Pique), but we can't put all...

To be fair, Kessie could do the job there. At least he's a physical beast, perfect for that destroyer role. Not to mention he ain't too shabby on the ball either, so it's not like he'd be out of his depth even when he'd have to help build attacks and get the ball to Bernardo and Pedri.

It was never going to be under 40-50M after they stayed up, sadly.

I think we're gonna get Zubimendi in, but next summer as a direct replacement.

I said it before, I'll say it again. No way we should be paying anything over 40M for Lewa. The specifics of this deal just further prove it.

That too.

Your ''sources'' are shit.

We're not in the Bartomeu era anymore, no way it's gonna be anything more than a 3 year deal...maybe even a 2 year...he's 34 after all, not 32. I see us keeping him until he's 36 at the most...and on a reasonable salary, fixed at least. We'll probably promise him a couple of extra million as a...
