Barca Transfers and Rumors

At the very least Suarez and Pique should go. The loudest Amigos.

pique could stay for another year. suarez only for rotation, if we get another striker, and release for free next summer.

we can't do a firesale as we don't have the funds to buy starters for 3-4 positions. we have only lenglet and pique at the back. we need a centerback and left-right fullbacks.

we should get rid of rakitic and vidal. also, dembele, griezmann and coutinho need to be adressed.

all in all, we need at least 2 seasons to rebuild. better forget trophies for next season also.

You can't leave Pique and Fatass here and expect shit to change.

Pique for his mafia boss behaviour behind scenes and Suarez for on the pitch workrate/shouting on young players and also off the pitch behaviour.

i understand your frustration but this is not a video game.

going by what most users in here want, we should get rid of the following: pique, busquets, vidal, rakitic and suarez.

and we still have a problem at left back - alba needs competition and firpo is a joke.
problems at right back - semedo is kind of shit and roberto is no fullback
problems with players that are payed to do nothing - umtiti, griezmann, dembele and coutinho

so what do you propose? we close the club and call it a day?

You really don't understand, do you? Our oldie starters are drained. We need a change. Coaching-wise and player(starter)-wise.
Would much rather have Griezmann on the pitch than Suarez. One at least offers hard work, while other offers nothing and is cancer off the pitch.
We wont be able to sell Umtiti and Dembele. Better hope they can string a few games together, so we can sell then. We should absolutely sell Cou.
All in all. We won't win anything next year. It's better to change the team's mentality by switching 4-5 starting outfield players and aim for CL spots in Liga.

And what is Suarez paid for? Shouting at everyone who arrives here, while blowing chances and while doing 0 defensive work. Great role model. Having unlimited power? Moving like a grandpa with his dodgy knee? And Pique, actng like a mafia boss behind the scenes? Getting FC Barcelona sponsors rather than being the boss of the backline? Both of them got the power, because they are Leo's closest friends. They are starters, because, they are closest to leo and Barto is shitscared of Leo leaving. Sell them.

you dodged most of the issues. we keep griezmann(clearly no one is prepared to pay him 20M a year). suarez goes.

what about the defense? also, are we really prepared to just let umtiti and dembele rot in a hospital?

Biggest issue is that Suarez and Messi don't do any defensive work. That's why we would be better with Griezmann. We have been defending with 8 outfield players for 4 years now. This needs to change. With Umtiti and Dembele, we need to wait and see if they string 1 month of games together. If they do that and show some value, we can sell them for 20m more each.

The problem with vocal Amigos (Pique and Suarez) is, they don't let new players integrate, because they know that they could take their position. The ONLY young player who integrated is FDJ, who was world-class before. If you can't se the problem with seniors...

i understand, we would be better with griezmann because he runs around doing nothing. fair enough suarez needs to go, but messi?

umtiti and dembele have been AWOL for 2 years now.

your story telling with the amigos not letting new players integrate is pure fantasy. we bought 3 duds in griezzman, coutinho and dembele, no conspiracy here.

FDJ world-class before joining us? a good promising player who performed for a 3 tier team. world-class is to often used these days.

Really? Watch Suarez's body language towards any newcomer to Barca. Watch his workrate. Watch his movement. Really?

And Pique? Sounds like a politician. A lot of promises, no substance.

FDJ was a better player at Ajax than he is now. That speaks volumes about the climate at Barca. Players, coaching staff and board. We should change in all departments if we want future. And in the players department the first ones to go should be those who played in all 3 fiascos.

We won't win anything next season. Deal with it. Now, it's on us to start a rebuild. If we don't we are fucked for next 5-10 years. Or even worse.

you're just making things up. suarez was actually very friendly with griezmann when he joined. drinking mate together and shit. coutinho was favoured by both messi and suarez. they even tried to set him up multiple times for the brazilian to score and get into form.

debatable about FDJ. better at ajax doesn't mean big club level. he picked up some form lately, but otherwise he was hot and cold all season.

i understand we won't win anything if we have a major overhaul, don't have to deal with anything.

Then tell me, which top team defends with 8 outfield players? Most of those being 30+? If anything we are lucky that we were on the level we are the last few years.

And we won't win anything. Regardless if we have an overhaul or not. That's why it's better to do it now and bite the bullet, than waiting a few more years while things become even more disastrous.

Could Ryan Sessegnon be an option for us at LB? Trying to see if there's some super athletic LBs with good technical skills and dribbling we could sign.

Anyone seen him play?

Cant sign likes of Sessegnon to be starting left back at Barca.

Seems a good young player but not shown it at anything but championship level yet.

Will struggle to get any decent level EPL players now. Clubs have so much money they will ask a fortune.

If at least 3 starters are not sold (Suarez and Pique are a must), we should rename ourselves to FC How Low Can You Go.
