Barca squad/XI 25/26

[Masetro10]

This summer, we need

-2 CBs (there's some incredible free agent options this upcoming summer)
-1 ST
-1 RB

RB is needed so badly. Kounde can go back to CB or be sold

 

[ElMagodel304]

Flick needs to leave. He has 0 tactical talent he just play the same way all the time that fat German is,pathetic...bring us a real coach.

Konate, Stones, Mingueza and Vlahovic, all on a free. All the positions you mentioned are covered then.

@The Unsackable would agree with me.

As in, John Stones? I like him but doesn't he have fitness issues?

 

[DonAK]

Mingueza and Vlahovic are not good enough either. Konate is going to Real Madrid.

 

[malvolio]

Today we fielded a team half made of EL level players. Bench was even worse.

Fake news.

Like a pig in shit when Barca lose you eh.

 

[DonAK]

If we're going all Football Manager mode then these are the signings I would make:

CB - Schlotterbeck

LB - Grimaldo?

RB - Daniel Munoz maybe?

ST - I have no clue

Don't follow City, didn't even knew he has issues. I just looked at Transfermarkt expiring contracts and sorted with most valuable players. Also the post was sarcastic, the only player I would take on a free is Konate.

Osimhen would be nice as our new #9.

But realistically we will have to wait until a new player emerges and hope that we get him before any other big club.

 

[Loki]

Aside from cheating oil clubs, every team's bench would look the same or worse with 5 key players injured. No real team has 20+ top players to catch so many injuries without problems.

He would be great for sure. Speed, physicality, athleticism. Technically ok too.
We need to sign a striker like that.

 

[JamDav1982]

Ratui at Rayo is a strange one.. he has been very very good v Barca and outshone Kounde in those games.

He defended very well with pace/aggression with Vini and was left 1v1 with him which is huge for structure of team if full back can do that.

Has reasonable clause.

Yet still at Rayo.

There must be something in him that bigger clubs dont like clearly and not heard much about him this season.

Contrast this defending to Kounde getting burned with pace time and again and needing to pull midfielders across to double up for example.

Seems Villarreal have a 7m buy back. Surely they would have triggered it unless there was something else as you say.

 

[JamDav1982]

Yeah but they effectively paying 20m or so for him if another team was to pay his 25m clause and give up on half of that... if teams are prepared to pay it.

As they would pay 7m and then also be 12.5m worse off from no sell on.

But it doesnt seem teams were lining up to pay the 25m anyway.
