Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Messi983]

Well, you still need to pay 20-30m for a good back-up.

Why would you pay 20-30m when you can have Martin for free?

That's half the price though, and you're telling the player there is going to be clear competition vs. an established starter.

Real Madrid telling him he's their starter as they want to get rid of Mendy if they can fetch a decent price or just keep him as the backup.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Of course players are gonna go to Madrid if they approach them first.

He is Madridista

 

[serghei]

He is Madridista

Yeah, didn't know he used to play for Madrid B. That settles it.

 

[Messi983]

That's not a problem imo. He would sign for us if we would need a LB and Madrid would still have a Marcelo in prime years for example.

E: Ofc if we could afford him and he would be our primary target.

 

[draconifire]

I would like the club to look at Jose Gaya or a similar player. Cheap, a bit older.
2-3 years of service for us, by the time he leaves, Torrents will be able to take over the backup role.
Either go for a cheap LB or a player who can play both LCB and LB.

 

[draconifire]

33 is not really that old when you have a 37 yo starter.

Thank you.

Soooo, we are yet again waiting so all our targets find new clubs before we eventually wake up in late July...

SMH.

Flick said certain areas need strengthening and has given his list to Deco.

If everything goes as it should Deco is already communicating with targets and inquiring if they can wait for Barca to be cleared for 1:1.

Tah was after fat signing bonus and was obviously never in the mix.

Spain window doesn’t open until July 1, negotiations have been ongoing since last summer‘s window - that’s the purpose of a sporting dept, prepare in advance rather than reacting where you lose both leverage and perspective

Exits, same thing - preparation. Everything else is silly season

The only spots where we need starters are GK and ST.
Reports are we are looking for a GK now. And as for a ST, i am deeply sadneded that we probably wont be looking for one this year.

All the other positions are backups, so it's not a pressing issue to be first in the market. We actually have time, so we can close deals later, see how the market evolves, also our pre season will show if some of our backups can be relied on or not.
Sometimes its better to wait if you have time in your hand, or it's not a necessity.

Laporta signed Olmo and wanted to sign Nico last summer before they knew if they can register them or not. Why are they waiting this year? There will be no one left in a couple of months when Deco will start "working".

 

[DonAK]

Gerard Romero just confirmed Barca wants Joan Garcia.

 

[jamrock]

Good, goal keeper is the number 1 priority.

But I don't want to get my hopes up.

Call me when it's over

He said he already has an offer from us, but was unsure whether he would join us or go to another team. Said he has other offers.
So we'll see I guess. Imagine choosing Arsenal over Barca though just because of some "loyalty" to Espanyol of all clubs. Especially when there's photos of him with a Barca shirt as a kid
