    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Why is everyone so sure we won't go back in for Paco Alcácer? Valencia supposedly turned down our first offer (probably around €24M), which I don't really know it's true (any credible sources won't confirm it up until now). Robert should go back in with an improved offer, might as well include...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    By the way, there's still no confirmation of the deal broken down by the trustworthy media like Gerard Romero or Catalunya Radio. There's only some information provided by the Sport/MD of Valencia; Superdeporte. Of course a Valencia board member said that he's not for sale at penya event, but...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    So now what? Are we pushing for a move with Paco Alcácer (which means the player should force a move) or are we looking at other strikers?

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    This board manages to surprise me three times this window! Never saw Digne, André Gomes ánd Alcácer coming. The last week I thought Mario Gómez, Gabigol and Luan were our three targets, but now Alcácer is coming out of nowhere! Samper on loan to Valencia wouldn't be my choice, but I'm statisfied...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    That indeed would make more sense. And that's even worse... By the way, Gerard Romero reporting that the forward signing could be announcent today or tomorrow! :barcascarf:

    And do you have any evidence for that?

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Well, there could be another reason. The reason I just gave! They came to scout Caio, were impressed with Douglas en brought him to the club instead of Caio. Why would you bring a player just because he's owned by Traffic? I agree there's some shady business going on in Brazil, but I can't image...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I don't think you understand what I was trying to point out. Of course Traffic was involved in these transfers, but was the involvement of Traffic the main reason why Douglas was brought to Barcelona?

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Let me ask you; do you have any evidence of Traffic being involved in the Douglas-transfer (and being the main reason why Barcelona brought him to the club)? And why do I need to 'get evidence' while you could just go on ahead with your conspiracy-theories and don't have to prove your point. So...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Seriously?! Didn't you see the press conferences of Robert Fernandez and Luis Enrique in pre-season? The clearly stated the profile they're looking for (https://twitter.com/G14_en/status/756074187400290304). There's plenty more where that came from. Apparently they saw Gabriel Jesus as a pure...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    No, not really. Barcelona's scouts visited a Sao Paolo match to scout Rodrigo Caio, but he didn't play that match. They still attended the game and were impressed with Douglas' performances. Of course there's some shady business going on involving Traffic, but the main reason they got him is...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Why would Luan be 'clearly a better player' than Mario Gómez? First of all; Luan isn't even a proper striker, he could be a decent winger for Barcelona at best. That doesn't fit the profiel Robert said to be looking for and that doesn't fit the tactics Barcelona are playing. The key for Lucho is...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Exactly this. We're still in the race for Mario Gómez; he would be the best option (that's still available; we lost out on many other options) right now. Gabigol is decent, Luan would be a joke. Just trade in Tello for Gómez (loan exchanges would be best, but don't think that will happen) and be...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I get that, everyone makes mistakes en nobody has in 100% succes rate in football transfers. However, what would be the succes rate of our scouts for the Brazilian market? What players came directly from a Brazilian club and succeeded here? Besides Neymar, there aren't that many. Our succes rate...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    So why are the rumours persisting? Luan clearly doesn't have the quality, doesn't fit the profile Robert said to be looking for and clearly is way too expensive for a player of his class. Now you're telling is he's 3rd party owned?! I thought that we pulled out of the Gabigol-deal because of...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    The same scouts that brought Keirisson, Henrique and Douglas (I know; blasphemy, Lord Douglas is not signed. He signs us.) to the club.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    You know why that's the case? Because they base their judgement only on his performances at the Olympics. If you take his previous performances in account, I don't think you'd come to the same conclusion. Luan simply doesn't have the quality to play for us; now and in the future.

    Cristian Tello

    So exactly the same deal as last year? Why can't we just sell him on? He is and never will be someone that adds something to our team. Southampton was rumoured to be interested, if Fiorentina wanted to have him they should just pay up. We're just horrible at selling players!

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I would be seriously disappointed if the club signs Luán instead of players like Mario Gómez and Gabigol. Not only would the far-more-talented Gabigol be the better fit for Barça, he would give us more value-for-money. As far as I can judge his quality (based on the views of Brazilian experts)...

    Gabriel 'Gabigol' Barbosa

    Santos' president confirmed that Internazionale has submitted a bid of €25M for Gabigol, but also said that Santos has recieved three (!) bids for the player. We know Juventus' offer of €18M, but we don't know the identity of the third club. Could it be Barcelona?
