I really hope they don't mess this one up. Benatia is the perfect CB to link up with Pique. I don't even know why Barca is entertaining PSG and their outrageous demands for Marquinhos.

20M + Llorente or nothing. Alexis can command much more than 15M for sure or just keep him.

Barca just needs to go after Benatia and stop trying to mess with PSG for another summer. Marquinhos is a great prospect but he's worth 20M at most.

Since everybody else it throwing their lists out there, here's my realistic wishlist: GK: Keylor Navas in addition to Ter Stegen. I like the idea of Ter Stegen getting some competition early-on, makes sure he doesn't get complacent. (Alternatives: Caballero, Reina) CB: Benatia. He's a rock...

Laporte >>>> Varane It's not even debatable to be honest if we are judging off their performances this season. What happened to Kondogbia? I know he had a rough beginning to the season but hasn't he been playing good for Monaco?

He was really starting to show his quality in Germany before his most recent injury. I'd honestly start him over Xavi if he's fully fit. It's a sham Illarramendi sabotaged himself of a World Cup spot by signing with Real Madrid. Well that and Xabi still having something left in the tank did him...

I knew they weren't but they are deserving especially Caballero and Fazio.

No Caballero, Pastore, or Fazio?

I'm very happy with the provisional list but Del Bosque has to keep Torres off the team. Here's who I think he should drop (assuming Thiago is fit, before his injury in Germany he was really starting to show his class): 1. Torres 2. Albiol (no need for him, Javi can back up both Pique and Ramos...

Some board members need to keep their mouths shut as it does nothing but hurt the club for our list of targets to be published publicly.

If we're negotiating for Luiz, we might as well try to take Hazard off their hands too as Mourinho doesn't like the guy. I can live with not getting Laporte and settling for Luiz if it means we can get Hazard too. I know it's a just a pipe-dream but it would be beautiful.

The club is making a great decision in going with Lucho. My main choice was Klopp but that wasn't realistic and Roberto Martinez would have been a very bold choice but I'm not sure if he knows or truly understands the politics that go with managing Barca the way Lucho will. I felt like we were...

Everybody knows Tata is gone. I'm glad Lucho is being contacted immediately so we have a plan going forward and possibly secure some transfers before the World Cup.

I actually like Luiz but not paired with Pique though. I had a feeling the Laporte rumor was too good to be true because Athletic Bilbao doesn't negotiate and the fee would have been much more than the buyout considering the taxes involved. If the Luiz rumor is true, we definitely need to go...

I'd vote Klopp but I just don't see it happening. Martinez would be the boldest choice. He's Catalan and he has produced some quality football teams on a shoe-string budget. There's a lot of politics involved with a job like Barca's though. Lucho is the safest choice and probably the right...

Looks like Thiago is going to come back soon. I really think this kid can be vital to Spain having success this summer. He was really starting to show his class in Germany before he got injured again.

It'd be foolish to sell Cesc unless it financed a move for a new CM that the club desperately needs. Honestly, Xavi's time has come and gone @ the elite level. I think he would be a great ambassador for Spanish and Catalan football in the MLS.

I thought he looked like a beast for Bielsa when played for Bilbao as a CB. He made some mistakes but that's really what justified his 40M price tag was after that great season. I just saw him play at CB against Italy with Pique out and looked like a stud again. I thought he looked great in...

I really hope the club is able to land both Laporte and Javi Martinez.

Mourinho is the perfect manager for him. Diego Costa will be the villain in England next season for sure. You gotta love for a striker how dedicated he is to get back on defense and defend.
