Barca Transfers and Rumors

[gregorrin10]

Ya, Osimhen seems to be very expensive. We should steer clear.
But I dont know, man, I have no confidence on Tuna and Lewa in the CL quarterfinal and semi-finals.
I think Sesko is much better than Tuna. I would even go for Jonathan David to have a third option.

Exactly. The profile alone, which is very similar to Lewandowski, would make us better and he'd actually be a proper Lewa replacement. Not to mention he's got a wicked shot on him as well, and likes to smack it from distance as well.

but the guy will cost about 100m.
We dont have that money this summer.

I think that video more confirmed what I said about Pedri. 90% of the time he gets a player off him with a clever touch or turn, then is able to take a few steps and release a pass.

Moleiro will dribble through a player and take off into space with his acceleration, type of thing Pedri just doesn't have that extra pep in his step to do. A very interesting player, and at only 21 there is a solid possibility he could adapt to our needs on the left side. People seem to believe Nico is good at beating his man and is a top dribble when he isnt. He's got fantastic pace which he's good at making runs and dribbling into space with, but he's not particularly great at beating his man 1 vs 1 or dribbling in tight spaces. Neither a prolific scorers, but I prefer someone like Moleiro. The fact he seems to want to get involved and links up well is a bonus. Fermin can dribble into space and creates with his runs, but hes also not going to blow anyone away with his dribbming.

20mil for him to be a young rotational winger, while also able to cover other areas, makes perfect sense to me. He will play plenty. That also leaves plenty money for a GK, defensive reinforcements and even a striker now if the opportunity presented itself. Lewa would have to deal with being a sub or agree to leave. Big money on a winger makes less and less sense to me with Raph and Yamal...especially when the players we're linked with are 2x to 3x the money, bigger salaries and not much better, if at all.

He can't be winger in our setup, he is just not profile we need.

At CAM he can but we have 3 better players that can cover it

 

[kush]

Still think getting Schick makes a lot of sense considering he would be cheap both in fees and wages. Lewa will likely have more injuries this year plus will need to be protected with less games/minutes. Schick can be a stop gap striker for a couple years until they can find a next gen star, who won't have to be rushed to perform. Ferran gets used as Raphs backup, sign another winger (either a prospect or a cheap freebie like Sane) and Barca will have money to either save or to fill other gaps.

All the other striker options will be expensive and if Barca wait until next summer teams will know that they'll be desperate and tag an extra 20M onto the fee anyway. Diaz will be a waste of money.

Explain to me how he doesn't fit the profile of LW for us, then explain to me how Raphina fits that role.

He does not attack depth, he is not fast and is not player who scores and assist much.

He is slow af, and he would not contribute 20% what is Rapinha doing.

He is midfielder playing on the wing.

We played like 2 games without Yamal and Rapinha, once we draw against Osasuna, second time we were losing against relageted team.

I am tired of players out if position, and even more, on most important role in the team where you need players that can dribble, score, assist and be best players you put slow player who is not suited for it position.

 

[serghei]

Do not think dribbling is that highly needed for our left side winger personally. Yamal is gonna draw so much action... that the other side player needs to be comfortable playing while not seeing that much of the ball.

Obviously, I'd like peak Henry that used to be the total package of flair, speed, finishing, but nobody is like that atm. Absolutely nobody on the planet on the left.

Wingers are essentially dead. Pure ones.

He is not slow. How did you come to that conclusion? Dribbling is one of his best qualities and you listed the player has to be able to dribble...his dribbling ability is why he appears so fast with the ball in the first place. Iniesta wasnt super fast, but he moved super fast with the ball. It's two different things.

I rather have a player like him on the wing than a speed merchant. Name a player with a lot of speed who can also beat players 1 vs 1, dribble well in tight spaces, create/make runs and also has decent football IQ. Then state whether we can realistically afford or acquire him.

We need to be realistic with what we can afford. We dont need to break the bank on another winger at the moment. We need to be saving the BIG spending for striker and a new GK that isnt an absolute fucking donkey. Not to mention real fullback options, but we're so broke we aren't even considering improving those positions in the first place.

The writing is on the wall, we dont have much money. Some, but not much.

I don’t think moleiro is a winger and i don’t think he is fast. He has good dribbling skills and no top speed. We need a fast winger like raphinha to run for lamine‘s passes. But yes, a cheap option and a good player but not the right profil

Every club in the world has wingers as best players, and all of them are speed merchants.

Psg, Bayern, Real, Barca, Liverpool...

You can have your opinion, I am not buying it, he is not player for our winger position

 

[jamrock]

moleiro would be a bad signing for us and him.

Not even worth talking about, outside him being a talented player that should have left LP at least a year ago.

He should play for a EL level team, Villarreal is such a great fit, It would be a crime if they don't buy him.

After a few years he'll be ready for the next step

 

[Porque]

I think Yeremay would be a better fit than Moleiro.

Would consider if someone went crazy for Fermin and we parted ways though. Think I said it either here or in the Fermin thread.

He is different spice to Pedri though. I agree with those who say he is a better dribbler than Pedri. He is. He is closer to those dollar store Messi's that we tried like Denis Suarez, Halilovic, Yusuf Demir. But better obviously.

 

[The Unsackable]

I would suggest same as last year - Stabilisation Budget: we are lucky to have nice squad, just get several Free Agents to fix few holes and let our Finances HEAL, for God's sake...

He'll be ready and too expensive for us to sign then. Sounds about right.
