    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Exactly what you said, khaled_a_d! We should be smart with the money we do have. So no Lukaku, Douglas Costa or Coutinho; we already have players better than that. Especially when our budget is only 60M (with the sales of Bartra, Vermaelen, Adriano, Douglas, Song, Tello and possibly Arda it...

    Lliga | Round 32: Real Sociedad - FC Barcelona 1-0

    Sergi Roberto and Alves should play deeper and make those runs behind the defense. Iniesta or Messi will find them with a killer pass!

    Shameful performance from Arda... Bring on Iniesta!

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    We would have to teach him how to defend. At PSV he's being criticised on his lack of defensive contribution and even in the Dutch national team they can't play with a four-men-defense because he won't track back the opponent's attacker. If we can get him for less than 15 million euro's, he...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Most plausible is something like this: Ter Stegen, Bravo, Masip Alves, Vidal, Alba, Marin* Piqué, Mascherano, Mathieu, Marquinhos/Laporte* Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitic, Sergi Roberto, Rafinha, Samper, Arda Messi, Suárez, Neymar, Munir, Denis Suárez* In: Adrián Marín (€5m), Marquinhos or Laporte...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    He´ll be fit in two months, so we shouldn´t worry about wether or not he´s fit. We should worry about permanent damage to his ankle/knee (although the doctors said that there's no damage to his knee and his ankle should heal just fine). Marquinhos has a slight edge over Laporte in my opinion...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Why all the sudden the need for a midfielder? With Rakitic, Arda, Busquets, Samper, Iniesta, Rafinha and Denis we're set for the future (or at least next season). Our priority should be at LB, CB and a forward.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I completely agree with you on that; we could and should do better. Of course I would love a Zouma/Varane/Gimenez kind of transfer, but I simply don't trust our board to pull one of those off. Samuel Umtiti might be one to take a look at, he's dominating at Olympique Lyon right now.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    True, but do you trust our board to find those kind of gems? Besides that; when Barcelona is interested in a defender, their asking price doubles. That's the main problem; the Valencia's and Atletico's of this world don't have to deal with this issue and get players like Mustafi for a reasonable...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    They didn't really get a chance in the first team last time around, did they? Denis Suárez was an important player for Barcelona B and grew as a player at Sevilla and Villarreal, reckon he's our best (read: cheapest) option as a MSN back-up. A young CB (Marquinhos or Laporte) and a replacement...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    BBZ8800, it's really easy to take one of my sentences (out of context) and reply to that single sentence. First of all, I don't think you're getting my point. The strenght of our club is our home-grown core in the first team (at least in the last (successful) years), we shouldn't give that up to...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    OK, maybe 'exceptional' is a bit exaggerated. But still, all of those forwards have the potential to be at least as good as Nolito Besides that, what is this kind of Madrid-like approach on youth talent? Of course Munir, Sandro, Halilovic or Adama aren't good enough yet to be an immediate...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    We should go for two midfielders; one to strengthen the team immediately, one for the future. I don't see why we should pay more than 18M for Nolito when we have attacking players like Munir, Sandro and Arda Turan (played as a winger for Galatasaray and Atletico) in our team. Besides that...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Agreed. Sporting Gijon is the perfect club right now for Halilovic; he has a lot of freedom without being under pressure to deliver immediately. Alen can develope as a player under Abelardo Fernandez and return stronger next season (or the season after that). Besides that, the first team won't...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    It's not quite true that you need 'fast feet' to play in het highline defense, but it helps a lot. Qualities like 'reading the game' and 'fast decision making' are more important than speed in a Barcelona-defender. Mats Hummels is compensating his lack of speed with excellent decision making and...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Why would you spend 80M on Pogba when the problem of our squad is a lack of depth? We need multiple players, preferably a centre back (replacement for Mathieu), a midfielder and a forward.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Enough to get Laporte, Nolito and Thiago I guess. Just sell Song, Adriano and Mathieu. Don't think we should blow our money on a attacker who'll just sit on the bench most of the times. Nolito is a good player until Sandro, Halilovic, Adama, Deulofeu or Munir is ready to fill the gap.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Just wanted to mention three names; Aymeric Laporte (buy-out clause €50m), José Gayá and Thiago Alcantara. They would cost Barcelona around €120m in total and could replace Adriano, Mathieu, Douglas and Song. José Gayá isn't a priority signing because Alejandro Grimaldo should/could be promoted...
