    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Younger isn't essentially better strategy tbh. I think GK who are 24-28 are the best signings you make. It us the age that you know what you are getting while still know they will be long term signings (5-10 years). Think of Alison (25), Ederson (24), Cortouis (27), Navas (27), Raya (28) among...

    20 - Dani Olmo

    No, MATS will continue to be registered, just like Christensen now (check Liga official website). This is a cap exception that is created for 1 player, who can have 80% of the salary of the injured player. And that exception isn't for free either, it is borrowed from next season cap.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    F.Polo is saying we are considering going for Diogo Costa in summer. I would take it with a grain of salt, as Polo has been very unreliable this year, and he says a lot of bs

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    Neto was a throw in, in a deal for Valancia to get Jasper. It was 9M + Neto for Cillessen. Barca and Valancia just ballooned the deals for ffp. But yeah, on paper Neto deal is still expensive

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    -Back when they were signed? Yeah. Same with Bravo & Stegen. Now, none of them cracks top 25. I am not sure though how they didn't work as expected. Jasper was one of the best backup GK, and we have rarely missed Ter Stegen when Jasper played. He kept MATS in check and he felt the competition...

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    I think it is more of cost saving. They know he is shit, but they don't want to waste resources on a GK who is likely only playing 4 games a season.. Sort off like Jorquera back in the day, we only sugned a serios backup (Pinto) when shit hit the fan. Then Pinto was done and dusted by 2010...

    Basketball/NBA

    There are many, but mostly online. Youtube is full of those, and many of them were later recruited by teams in the league. Reddick was also massive, but then again got a big coaching gig. Ben Simmons used to have some insight, and recruited many to the ringer. There is a big market for it...

    New goalkeeper?

    You are assuming there is a signed document, and not just an oral agreement?

    Sergi Dominguez

    A bit weird, but he was actually one of my favourite players in B team when I watched them last year. He is a defender who puts all effort and hustle. Never thought he will be a first team player, as he was clearly limited and maybe a bit clumsy, and we had at least 3 B team players ahead of...

    New goalkeeper?

    Restes is very highly rated, but I wasn't that impressed with him in the Olympics. He is a long term investment for sure. Valles was great last year. Is a bit tall and won't take long to fit in. Convincing him to ditch Betis is the hard part but otherwise he is most attainable. Dimitrievski, I...

    It is one player exception though

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    We need 60M just to register both Olmo and Pau Victor. So, to get another player we need his cost + 60M. That would be ideal, but honestly I doubt we will have the funds.

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    I think it is about what type of deal we should target. An immediate FA? Wait until January? Get a solid backup? Get a high potential player? How much can we afford etc

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    Wojciech Szczęsny had one year left in his contract, and Juve bought him out with a clause that they save whatever he earns in his new club. After that, he retired. This means unless we gave him more than what Juve is paying him to chill in Spain, there is zero financial incentive for him to...

    New goalkeeper?

    How is Illan Meslier doing? We were linked to him in 2022 iirc,and Barca has history of going back to old targets. As far as I know, he is massive (1.98m) and good with playing with his foot. But was very mistake prone. His contract ends in 2026, so possibly attainable in January.

    Alvaro Valles

    He has taken over starting spot this month or so, but he was very highly rated on Brazil before that and it didn't take him long to take over after Bento left. I didn't watch him in games tbh, there is couple of highlights videos on YouTube and his reflexes looks amazing. Good shoot stopper...

    Alvaro Valles

    He has just moved to Al-Nassr for 18M deal. His replacement in Atletico Paranense is Mycael, probably the GK with the highest upside in Brazil. He is the Brazilian one to follow. I suspect our fans won't entertain dealing with them again, though.

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Stegen

    They are B team players and Kochen is injured for the next month.
