    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    This. This board has relied on Messi's goals & XavIniesQuets' support play for too long without reinforcing the foundations around them. Now every club gets a big fat smile on their face when they see Zubi coming. Every club knows we're desperate and weak in a lot of positions. Sometimes you...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I respect your opinion on Immobile more than some of these others just shooting him down without reason. I don't watch Serie A much but followed Immobile. The beINsports crew have done a few different reports on him and he looks like the type of striker we need, mobile/dynamic/good finisher...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Given the right guidance I think Roberto has the potential to do it as well. His passing and movements are good, it's the other specifics that he'll need to work on. Those things are more defined by the teams tactics and playing style which will be a lot clearer with Lucho.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Sorry guys I don't see Cesc overtaking Iniesta's position. Doing that will just hinder our midfield taking away what Iniesta brings to his role just to force a place for Cesc. Iniesta & Busquets are still the masters of their positions, it's Xavi whose legs aren't what they used to be.

    Benatia's agent spotted in Barcelona Anyone know if Sport Italia is just getting in on the rumor action or if theres some truth to it?

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    lol he does though. My opinion comes from more than youtube clips, I was impressed by the kid in the Fifa u-20 Cup last summer. Yeah we could just wait until he explodes and then get in a bidding war with PSG, Bayern, Chelsea, Man City, Man United rather than making a smart investment now. We...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I wouldn't expect Torres to walk into our XI upon purchase. His skills and playing style make him ideal for the Xavi role. If he gets a season working under Xavi it would further his development. Rafinha provides a lot more going forward along the lines of Iniesta so I wouldn't compare the two...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I would happily let Alexis & Cesc go if it provides us the funds to get Suarez or Aguero. If Gundogan fully recovers from his injuries I'd welcome him as well. Phenomenal player and Dortmund felt his loss this season.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    The striker is difficult as I can't think of any that wouldn't be crazily over-priced. For the CM Oliver Torres would be best and could come for 20-25m. Lucho works well with youth so getting Torres could solve our Xavi-replacement problem.

    How disrespectful to Bartra would it be to start 20 y/o never played Tiki-Taka Marquinhos instead of him? Smells like BS

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    +1 I agree 100% I just watched a match a few weeks ago from our 11/12 season where we played a 3-4-3 and our back 3 was Alves - Mascherano - Abidal. Not a very "defensive" back-line but we won the match 5-0. Why? Because Pep had us playing like a complete unit. Buying a player as a "quick fix"...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I agree that we need a Right-Sided Abidal so Jordi has the freedom to attack on the left. Bartra has so many similarities to Puyol and he started as a R/LB. Bartra has great technique to help with the buildup but it's his defensive abilities which will help us maintain possession and defuse...

    Luis Enrique is the new coach of FC Barcelona

    Welcome Back Lucho! MaTS & Lucho in and I'm already feeling a lot more optimistic. Lucho has a lot to do before kickoff next season and I hope he brings in the *RIGHT* players. He did well at Celta with youth players so hopefully he can guide a few of our Masia players who are right on the...

    How many signings does Barcelona need at this point?

    Not totally true. There is some dead weight (Song, JDS, Afellay etc) that we can afford to offload. +1 We need to revitalize the squad and it's possible to do so without changing our style. We just need management that has a plan & vision. Getting rid of Eusebio from Barcelona B was a step in...

    How many signings does Barcelona need at this point?

    I feel a semi-overhaul would be good for the club (done correctly of course). 2 GKs: ter Stegen, promote Masip 2 CBs: Mangala/Laporte, Martins-Indi/Balanta as Abidal's LB/CB replacement RB/CB: promote Ie (this will give us 5 CBs of which 2 can be R/L Abidals) 1 Box-2-Box Mid (Keita/Yaya)...
