    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Great replacement for Gundogan in 2026 then, him or Kimmich next season.

    Loan won't be that good for them and maybe not even for him. They are fairly rich club and those rarely invest in player's they don't own. They will get him but without the idea of developing him. And French league has no buyout clauses, including buyback option. Most we could do is 1st option...

    Erling Haaland

    This is a normal phase in a fairly young player development, he will have a poor run of form and he will need to respond and do better.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I think Estevao has the highest ceiling of them all, but sometimes that means very little. Estevao will be 17 this month, still super young, but he barely played minutes there, even in their regional tournament. He was above average in U17 WC, he was amazing in club youth tournament and...

    Harry Kane

    Yeah, letting go a record they started counting a century after the actual tournament started. What a loss. It was a joke record man, he made the right decision. Soon enough he will get enough titles

    He is good from what I've seen a couple of years ago. But was more of b2b.

    Iñigo Martínez

    This is fucked up on so many levels. So again, next summer we will have to re-register him? Same as Fermin, same as Roque. We lose Roberto for free, we lose Alonso for free, Cancelo and Felix back to their clubs. So players registered for next season in first team: Stegen, Pena Araujo...

    Again, that doesn't make him AM either

    Iniesta didn't play with Alves & Busquets until he was 24, didn't play with Messi when he was a sure starter and not an injury prone prodigy till he was 23, Xavi himself was a world class starter until the time before Pep, but was never a legendary player till 2008. And at 21, or almost 22...

    Defensive instincts are usually the last one to develop. Xavi started his career as DM, and yet defense was his biggest weakness as CM till he was 28, he lost his concentration and didn't know when to track back most of the time. There was even multiple rumours that Rijkaard was fed up by this...

    Pedri played as a conservative LM in Las Palmas, a conservative RM. a CM there and very rare AM. With Koeman he has played early in more attacking role, then as CM, then as a pivot in double pivot midfield, then with Spain as CM, then he has been practically a CM here under every definition of...

    Well, he is 100% not a AM either, not in this era. So if he isn't a CM then he isn't a guy we should hope to keep. Either that we just pray football change it's trend again so his type of players can succeed or we will be wasting our time with him. PS: he didn't play closer to the goal with Las...

    This is where I massively disagree. Non of the 3 is a modern day AM. Frenkie is an obvious one, but the truth Pedri is a CM whom we are trying to shove in the AM position. A modern day AM is more like Wirtz, Odegaard, Musiala, Bellingham, Simons to name a few. We are back to it's more like the...

    Fair argument. And here I am not exactly disagreeing, but rather than putting some sort of brainstorm in it. But do you think "both" can work together? this is the main issue here. We are always a bit too lethargic with them both, always teased with a potential that never comes. And beside...

    I have thought of this, but it is a drastic move tbh that is unlikely to work with Gundogan being so old and the rest of midfield being so young. It is just a big change in team dynamics in one summer. Maybe over 2 years it could work, but asking the board to take that risk of selling one is...

    I was thinking about that the other day, there are plenty of comments about selling him on reddit and twitter because we play better without him, but the same exact comments are made about Frenkie and same exact angry reactions from other fans. Diving deeper into it, I think there are fair...

    Is F9rt elegible for it? I think it is for 2007 born players and after.

    Lots of factors here, but if he isn't able to fit in or they don't count in him next year then it is smart idea to loan him while hiring a personal language tutor for him. From Barca perspective, it is good to look at such situations for the LW position. Atletico won't be easy to negotiate...

    He can't sign one until June when he is 16

    Nico Williams

    Raphinha for 55M was a very good deal, guy is very underrated here, clubs would pay 70M for what he gives us. We are doing much better after he returned from injury. Ferran this season looks like he is worth the money, but when he finally played well he gets injured. As for Nico, 50M isn't...
