Because the club can't sign freely and needs to prioritize positions. Especially since the GK spot jumped to priority number 1 spot. When a strategic transfer became possible, other positions moved to the back of the prio list.Backup RB and lb were the most important reinforcement positions everyone was talking about at the end of the season given how we played with neither kounde nor balde at the end.
Not sure how we've gone completely silent on that front...
No one will be signed before July 1, early signs are pretty damn good I must say - they have already set up several transactions that were neededDefinitely need a LB. No names being mentioned however apart from Grimaldo from a few weeks ago. More movement in July I guess.
Please, any would do. Just sign a god damn backup LB.Wanted him on a free last year and would def take him for 15m too.
Never refuse a good deal. Even if you are broke.Dracon is out here trying to turn us into the Harlem globe trotters, all star 22.
I like the energy
RM bound. Pals Trent and Mbappe will make sure of that.
Gerard is enough at LB as backup. Just give him games and rest balde moreBecause the club can't sign freely and needs to prioritize positions.

And before the club tries to transfer another player they're not 100% convinced of, it's way better to keep playing with Garcia and Martin as back-ups. At least here we know what we're getting. Back-up positions should be filled with La-Masia, not with bums who just cost us salary and don't identify with the club.
Don't start a Bartomeu policy again.
Especially in Kounde's case, Garcia was a good discovery in the end of the season and can play way more games which will leave Kounde rested and fit enough for the most important games. Flick just used Kounde in every game possible last season, that has to change.

There is absolutely no way Gerard Martin should be anywhere near this team. What happens if balde is injured for a longer stint? Immediate season over.
We need a backup LB that's a non negotiable. We don't need something special given that we're likely getting Nico. We just need someone decently solid and these kind of players are not that hard to find or sign for relatively cheap. It can even be someone slightly older.
