That's why, if he comes, he must be brought as Xavi replacement, but also able to play as Iniesta (which could especially be important after and if Arthur makes the Xavi spot his own). And having Arthur come in January would be the perfect backup, as he'll need the game time from the get go too...

I'm against selling Digne, but if selling him is a part of getting a world class midfielder, i would absolutely do it. We can always give Cucurella a fair chance, or sign a cheap reliable backup, maybe even someone versatile, who can cover RB and CB too, if needed. I would be lying if i said...

Exactly. If we're not gonna sell Suarez, we should at least give him the best possible conditions (thus a world class midfield behind to supply him again) to recapture that deadly form and once again become the best #9 out there. Then if he still doesn't deliver and push comes to shove, we can...

Guess it's time to remove that 7 :lol:

Barcelona have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Tottenham star Christian Eriksen, with reports claiming the Denmark international is willing to force a transfer this summer. Eriksen is supposedly eager to follow in the footsteps of his fellow countryman Michael Laudrup. Eriksen...

maybe he can, but he absolutely mustn't. He's been a spectacular CB for us, no sense in messing with that by playing him as a LB, even if it is only for a few games. I'd rather we just promote Cucurella and give him at least one season to prove himself instead then.

Exactly. We should at least fix the midfield instead, give Suarez a world class midfield behind to supply him again...and he might have a good extra 1-2 years here. If he still doesn't deliver, we can always (hopefully have the balls to) bench him and play Coutinho up front and keep Suarez as a...

wow, seriously? I mean i know Germany are probably the strongest country out there right now, depth-wise but still, this is a major surprise for me. I would drop an experienced (but only with a mediocre season behind them) Ozil or Muller before i'd drop Sane who bossed it under Pep this year, if...

Eriksen and Thiago would be perfect for me at this point. Both approaching their prime years, experienced and proven on club and international level, and would inject world class level into our midfield immediately, so young players like Arthur and Alena wouldn't have too much pressure on them...

I think considering he's now confirmed he'll let his decision be known before July 1, it's a strong possibility that he stays with them. I think he'd stay quiet otherwise, until the 100M clause became active. And i actually wouldn't be that bummed about it, but only IF it means we go after...

He just said you need to stop nitpicking so much and you go and find the one tiny mistake he wrote, while totally ignoring everything else he said and was right about, by the way...don't know if you're trolling him at this point or what? :lol:

I guess Arthur could be a good understudy that way, as he would play many games, either in the lineup or as a substitute every season, when Thiago would be injured. And they both share similar qualities and play style, so once Arthur would hopefully reach a good level, it wouldn't matter that...

Also a report just came in that Real are looking towards Eriksen as a possible successor to Modrić, just hours after ZZ resigned. I really hope Pochettino stays with Tottenham, he just signed a new 5-year deal with Spurs a few days ago, so don't think he should be in the running. Cause not only...

Don't think Poch is going anywhere, he just signed a new 5-year contract, extended with Tottenham a few days ago. Conte might be the one though, considering Sarri is a hot favourite to take over Chelsea. There's always Wenger too...:p

Ancelotti just became the new Napoli manager a few days ago, haven't you heard??? Let's hope they don't snap up Sarri actually.

Thing is, he seems to be a loyal player, and you gotta respect that. He already rejected going anywhere first because of their transfer ban, and now he's also unsure. And who could blame him, he is the star of his team, he just won Europa League, his team is among the biggest favourites to win...

Yes it is. BUT they+Arthur are just too inexperienced and shouldn't have to be all that we bet on. It would create way too much pressure on them, that's why the sane thing to do is buy a midfielder like Thiago or Eriksen, a player who is already world class and can really inject quality into the...

Cordoba just scored and Barca B is automatically relegated even before then final round. It's too bad Lopez wasn't sacked a game or two before. Absolutely disgraceful how did the Board let him stay on for so long, as i recall he had like 8 or 9 losses in a row before he was finally sacked...

Since Lopez was finally sacked and after a couple of matches to get settled, they have now beaten 3rd place Gijon away and now 4th place Cadiz. Now they have lower quality teams Albacete and Zaragoza to play left. Hopefully they take at least 4 points from these 2 games, which might be enough in...
