    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    He's certainly not going to use all his strengths as a midfielder in a 3-man midfield for us. We knew his strengths and weaknesses very well before he joined. Its not a surprise. There is a reason why every coach he has played under has played him mostly as a left forward. Its not because...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    There is no way Messi is going to be benched so Malcom and Dembele should just leave. There is no position for them. I dont think that has anything to do with midfield reinforcements which are definitely needed. I think there is a huge difference between segunda level players from Barca B and...

    Riechedly Bazoer

    Did the Ajax management really think he was that good? They got rid of him for 12m.

    André Gomes

    How about selling Vlasic? Very promising midfielder on loan from Everton.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Valverde made Arthur a starter after a couple of weeks. Not after four years. Raki and Busi will both be 31 when the season starts. Busi and Raki definitely need challengers and De Jong could fit all three positions in midfield so I dont see any reason why he should not get enough playing time...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Coutinho is certainly a big part of that system. He needs to step up his game. Arthur is looking like a better player than him. We should expect more from Coutinho.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Most of his games for both Brazil and Liverpool has been as left forward (or sometimes right forward for Brazil). Even before he joined Liverpool, he played mostly that position. When every manager he has played under plays him as left forward, I dont think we can use that as the reason for his...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Since Denis has a year left on his contract next summer and hardly plays, I can see him going for free or close to free next summer. I think its pure fantasy that he can get us 15m euros.

    Frenkie de Jong

    So someone on this forum says that he now is prime Busquets and Iniesta? I dont think that makes him overrated. It simply means that one person overrates him.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    If he gets a massive signing on bonus plus a high wage and it means we will ignore De Jong and Aouar, then it is not good.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Who says he is prime Busquets and Iniesta? The best coaches in the world say that? If they say that, then he is overrated by those coaches. But who is saying that? What a kneejerk reaction. De Jong is a crucial reason why Netherlands are seeing a rejuvenation from being really bad to now...

    Frenkie de Jong

    They might also think that its time to stop buying people with attitude issues. Dembele isnt the only one with attitude issues we've had. Arda is one just recently and he was 29. Of course there are others like Ibrahimovic. I havent gone through all the years, but I think the net spend is...

    Frenkie de Jong

    We wouldnt get Arthur either if we didnt want to spend record sums on young players and instead sign Nzonzi or whatever. I hope we continue judging players as individuals and make individual decisions on each player we monitor. That being said, I doubt we have much to spend next summer and...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Dismissing players you know nothing about simply because they are a certain age, like you do with Arthur, De Jong etc is just silly. Now you will use Dembele to attack future signings who have nothing to do with Dembele, which is equally silly. We dropped the ball by going for Dembele instead of...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    His value as long as he stays with us and the situation doesnt improve is low. I dont think we can rule out that we would look to loan him out and hope he has a great season and a bidding war for him can happen. Its very risky for a club to pay a lot of money for him now.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    If we assume 5m for Denis and 12m for Rafinha, with both having less than a year left on their contract, we probably have to sell Dembele for 50m and even then, it might not be enough. Dembele's price is plummeting the way he behaves and his lack of playing time.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We dont even play with wingers. Obviously we were not "set for ten years" when we dont even have a position for those players. I get that you try to mock other forumers with that phrase but its silly. You are no longer against De Jong? You went on for months how stupid and silly it would be for...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Whats his price right now with his current attitude problems and lack of playing time? 50m? His value is plummeting if this goes on. Only if he proves himself at another club can his value recover.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    I think it looks totally unrealistic now to get De Jong and De Ligt for 50m each and sell Dembele for 100m. With every game De Jong and De Ligt play, their price increase. Regarding Dembele, loaning out Dembele seems more and more likely so he can get playing time and hopefully increase his...

    Frenkie de Jong

    When a player has less than a year left on his contract, his price usually halves. We didnt get 40m for Rafinha last summer so I doubt we'd get 20m next summer when he's not playing like he did last season with Inter.
