No such DM exist right now or is available. Unless you're going for Rodri who has his own injury problems now.

Real are waiting on Rodri if doesnt renew.
Should spun them after their balondor behaviour but they want him.
Or see out contract and join Barca!

CB, FB and ST are bigger priorities anyway. We need two CBs with Christensen leaving in the summer.
This squad simply cannot handle another low activity summer. So the board need to find a way somehow without fucking us over in the future. Will be fun to see......

I alluded it in another thread.
The Barca starting XI last season could contend with any team in the world - which is also the reason why it was driven into the ground.
It gave us a lot of success but we are paying heavily for it this year.
This is the result of an unbalanced squad. An great starting XI with virtually no depth.

You think staying healthy and having luck in one year will automatically bring you injuries next year?
Last year the teams with injury problems where bayern and real madrid, this season they have no troubles.
Maybe the preseason was not good but this has nothing to du with last season

Who of the injured player were done into the ground last year though?
Garcia wasnt at Barca.
Gavi didnt play much.
Christensen didnt play much.
Olmo wasnt fit enough to be driven into the ground.
That leaves likes of Lewa, Pedri and Raph who on minutes played are not dramatically more than a lot of other players at top clubs and also got a full summer away from CWC in way others didnt.
Folk say Koundes form etc but he was out from middle of April until the start of this season injured and that in itself is rest for the body as cant do anything.

Maybe we should say last year we didnt lose the important players except frenkie but came back before final periode. Bad luck were just balde and kounde against inter
So my opinion is clear it is just bad luck that the important players are injured

The lack of squad from last season is costing us. Flick ran them so hard last season so now they are drop like flies.
Pedri was visibly struggling few games ago and yet Spain played in both mumbo jambo meaningless games. Same with Flick. He had to reduce Pedris minutes but he didn't.(In Flicks defense he had nobody else, Spain coach is just a dick and closet Madridista).
This injury isn't shocker. It was expected. The body got too tired. Same as Kounde last season.. Balde too, but he is fragile.

TESTIFY!Comparing him to Xavi is even more insane. Back in the days I used to browse through football geek forums where people were collecting all sorts of historic OPTA data of historic key footballers. Xavi in the 2010 World Cup came up as the player who created the most chances in a single World Cup only after Maradona 1986 if I remember correctly.
In 2008/2009 season Xavi had 31 assists for Barca as a central midfielder who collected the ball from the centerbacks and controlled the game. Anyone else with that final ball characteristic is usually a CAM like Özil, KdB, Fabregas etc. whose only purpose is to play the final ball without the burden of controlling the entire midfield.
Xavi - Stats 08/09
Player stats of Xavi (Karriereende) ➤ Goals ➤ Assists ➤ Matches played ➤ All performance datawww.transfermarkt.com
He was a unique midfielder who could play final and through balls at Messi level without being a pure CAM. Modric, as a comparison, never managed more than 12 assists in a single season in his entire career.
Just watch on Youtube Xavi's throughball assists in the Euro Cup 2008 final, Euro Cup 2012 final, 2010 CL final or the 09/10 away Clasico. I don't know of any other central midfielder like him. Game controlling CMs usually don't have final balls like that.
Xavi is my alltime CM, more influential than any other midfielder over so many years - he was so good that neither Spain nor Barca ever fully recovered from his absence - an entire system was built around him, but never did he stand out with the sole credit for it - he was the ultimate Barca deoxyribonucleic acid player.

I agree, Xavi was one of a kind. It’s a shame we’ll never have another Xavi in Barcelona…

Then a CM with good physical attributes and box to box quality.
Don't want to repeat it constantly, but there is a reason Spain didn't use Pedri and Olmo at the same time on the field.

🚨 BREAKING: The news is not good for Pedri. His recovery time will be 6 to 7 weeks. He will miss at least eight matches, including Chelsea and Atléti.
