    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    My thoughts exactly. This past season Bartra has shown he belongs in the starting 11 with one consistent performance after the other. This is proof Barcelona don't need to spend 40+million on a CB. What Zubi & Co. need to do is find an agile, aggressive in the air defender who plays regularly...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    lol I've been talking about Martins-Indi (CB/LB) and Daley Blind (LB, WB, DM, CB) for over a year and all I ever got was "they play in the 2nd rate Dutch league" but the Dutch spank Spain today and "we need to sign these guys immediately!" Bruno Martins-Indi is a versatile defender that can...

    Group A: Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon

    :shit: Pen shouldn't have been a pen and Rakitic was fouled when receiving the ball which led to Oscar goal. Should have been called a foul and possession to Croatia. Terrible start to the WC

    Agreement with Chelsea for the transfer of Cesc Fàbregas

    Exactly! Thiago plays for himself so let him continue that in Munich. He still loses possession far too much to be a Barcelona player. Cesc will fit in well at Chelsea, especially with a fit Costa ahead of him. Can't wish him well though :wave:

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Given some time to adjust to our style I don't think Lukaku would be Plan B but part of Plan A as Neymar - Messi - Lukaku. Looking at these vids you can see Lukaku attacks from the Right to Central-Right and given his stature/style he'd be like a right-sided Henry for us. Now wether this...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I don't get this obsession with Marquinhos the board has. Can he really play RB? That's pretty suspect. They're going to spend 25-30m + Dani Alves but for me there's absolutely no reason he starts over Bartra. We'd be better off selling Dani and bringing in Laporte for 36m since he at least has...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Thanks :beer2: Bartra is ready for the starting XI. 61m on Benatia or 30m + Dani on Marquinhos are ridiculous when we can get more versatile/cheaper CBs in Laporte or Juan Jesus. With big hype comes a big price tag and all it will do is unnecessarily force Bartra to the bench.... which he...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    @ebieymjunior - long post :yes: I agree. I think the problem most supporters have is all these new Cash Cow Clubs (Chelsea, PSG, Man City, Monaco etc) who have started a false idea of how football teams are built. People think maybe all the best players are passing us by and we'll be left...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Juan Jesus - CB & LB, 20-25m? Alternative - Laporte 36m De Sciglio - R/LB & CB, 20-25m? Oliver Torres - CM, 20-25m? Aguero - FW, A$TRONOMICAL! But if we sell Song, Cesc & Alexis maybe? (not holding my breath on this but would be good business for us)

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    This. Koke is a great Box-2-Box player but if even if we go for him we'll need a midfielder like Oliver Torres. Someone who's going to maintain possession and control the tempo of the match.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    61m... Fahget about it! Benatia isn't worth half the transfer budget. We should go forward with Pique-Bartra, fix up the flanks (particularly RB) and bring in 2 versatile players who can play CB & R/LB. I personally wouldn't be sad to see Cesc leave if we get a good fee & replacement(s). We...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Fixed! If we have Messi/Aguero, Neymar is definitely going to be assisting these 2 goal scorers (while getting in on the action whenever possible). You'd give Aguero the advantage of using his dominant foot to cut in and finish much like MVP used to. But these 3 would definitely move all over...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I like it...a lot :yes: In today's football we have all these Cash Cow Clubs and Football Manager/Fifa games that lead us to believe we need to spend 100 Mil every summer otherwise we won't be able to compete. I myself am guilty of playing "fantasy football" but I try to stay as practical as...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    LOL true. But again how well will Marquinhos play at RB if he's put there? Right now today I know Bartra can do a better job for Barcelona @ CB & RB. Under Enrique I expect Bartra to be in rotation with Pique & *Benatia*. I like De Sciglio because he's *tall*, defensively sound and is equally...
