even if vidal and raki both leave, we would have enough players. But if busi leaves, I'd rather have vdb who is more of a box to box, who will provide way more goal contribution

Fifa career mode has taught everyone that a player may aswell be dead by the time they hit 30
Pjanic is the creative midfielder that we have lacked since Iniesta left
With rakitic going, Pjanic will be our second Set Piece taker

We have creative players in the academy but Barto exsists so nevermind
feral palm
Pjanic has more key passes than anyone in the squad (except for messi)
He's a good signing...was just a stupid way to sign him
grave glen
Yeah he has like more key passes per game than raki and Vidal combined while playing in a more deeper role
He's an upgrade for sure
He'll play double pivot with frenkie I'm pretty sure about that
Messi f9 with a double pivot is erm
Defensively questionable

Busi leaving is actually the most likely lol
Of the club heavyweights
Busi, Alba and Suarez are the 3 on the firing line
Pique and Roberto are the ones in Koeman's plans
Fuck man I'm so excited for pre season

I'd like busi to stay, I mean he's the one among all the "heavyweights" who can actually teach/mentor some of the players
Fuck alba
Suarez yeah he needs to go too
But guess he wont
grave glen
if the youth get more minutes than some of the more senior players, I'll be happy
But that's too much to ask for
grave glen
yeah but if we somehow manage to offload some of them, for example, suarez, alba, busquets, rakitic, vidal and umtiti, barca can save almost 82m€ per year
Include pique, even tho we donr have a proper replacement for him, 94€ per year

We already know about Barcelona situation. But their squad isn`t so bad. I mean, with De Jong and Pjanic in the CDM position and Coutinho in front of them, their midfield is realy okish. https://i.ibb.co/JcpGjxJ/barcelona-21.png
And yeah, Dembele is always injured. But with a good physicual rainer, he will be constant.
plain lily
Doesnt matter
potent spade
I feel like Griezmann really doesnt fit at Barca
One of the worst buys Barca ever made
plain lily
Well, the new coach says the new role of Griezman
He will be a false 9
So, i put him in that position
potent spade
That could work maybe. Its just that he was really used to play on the counter and stuff with Atletico.
And Barcelona is entirely different
I dont feel like it suits him very well so far
potent spade
I mean he is a great player of course. I just think he was a much better player when he played on the counter Atletico style.
Maybe he will shine in the false 9 role though who knows
plain lily
Griezman is not Prime Suarez. In 2016, Suarez style suits perfectly to Barca
Because he knows how to dribble and how to demark from defenders
potent spade
I feel like it was a really bad buy. It was publicly known that the whole Barca squad weren't really waiting to play with Griezmann. Plus he's not used to playing possession style football like this making use of the small spaces. Next to that he was 120m+ i dont even know anymore but it was way too much.
It made no sense. It almost seemed like a marketing move because he does fortnite dances 😂
plain lily
:))))))
potent spade
Theres a lot cheaper strikers out there that would fit the barca system better
plain lily
Well, Bartomeu tries to transform Barca in the new galacticos
But in the bad way
Depends, in my opinion, Ansu Fati can be a serious ST in the future for the team. Not Winger
Because his shots its pretty good and his ability to dribble defenders is remarkable. But he doesnt have a very good speed to be a winger.
potent spade
They could have bought Depay from Lyon for like half of what they bought Griezmann for and I honestly think he would have been better.
plain lily
Well, Depay its a target for Barca
If they cannot buy Lautaro, they wil gonna go to Depay
Lautaro*
grave glen
hm
plain lily
Koman wants two players . Depay and Van Den Beek
And departure from Alba, Vidal, Rakitic and Suarez.
potent spade
It would be perfect for Barca when you think about it. Depay can play as a striker and on the left wing. Exactly what they used Griezmann for. Only Depay is used to play possession based football and making use of the small spaces. He's definitely not the same person anymore back when everyone called him a "United flop"
plain lily
He is more mature now,thats for sure.
potent spade
He's so much better now
plain lily
But, if i can buy anyplayer for barca....
Probably i try to buy Lyon Midfielder
Aouar
I watched him in the match between Lyon and Bayern, his style its very similar with Iniesta
But our mid is already full :))))

Because Barca already has a good midfield
plain lily
Btw, Barca try to sign Eric Garcia from city with 10 milion. Or free in the next summer.
potent spade
Im kinda confused why Barca are going for Lautaro Martinez tbh
That would be another 100m+ transfer probably
plain lily
Yeah
potent spade
Are they swimming in money or something
potent spade
I think its too expensive, then they will be in the same situation next year again
Where they have to sell a good player in order to balance the books lol
plain lily
I watched him with argentina. Messi did not pass to him.
potent spade
Yeah seems like a bad idea tbf
plain lily
My opinion. The best signings of this summer , if is gonna be real, is the physical trainers. This team is very tired. After 60 minutes, they doesnt run.
But hey, who is thinking about this? Lets go with rondeo train sessions and barbeque rest.
— Ajax have named their price for Donnny van de Beek: €55M. The Dutch midfielder welcomes the idea of moving to Barça under Koeman, but the process is costly. [sport]
potent spade
idk why should he be at barca tbh
could work I guess
@lime mica did you see that first part, the koeman interview?

@grave glen Agree. But he is more capable than Valverde and Setien.

@grave glen idk either with these players, who buys Griezmann for 120m who has played counter attack football for the majority of his career

We need to rebuild a team and our style. And Koeman , i think, he is the new Rejkard for us.

But we need our structure again

Koeman wasn't that great at some of the teams but he has single handedly turned around the dutch national team from being ass to being good
He went from losing to Belarus to beating France and Germany
potent spade
Plus he knows Barca
He knows the club very well
He has played for them many years, he knows exactly the type of football they like to play
plain lily
Btw, i still have some issues against the board of barcelona.
They really need to get all control to Koeman
If they are going to buy players without Koeman accept, this is not very good for the rebuild,
Besiedes, Koeman need to be a manager, not a coach. Premier League model btw.

Lautaro is our prime target
It's not like griezmann is bad, tactics don't suit him
grave glen
@plain lily coutinho, messi and griezmann together can not work. You'll end up with 3 players who won't press, you can force griezmann to press but, one, he has never played as a typical number 9, two, it will be alot of work for him if you think he'll play as a poacher/target man, and messi and Coutinho will combine to press for around 45s. Almost every top team have players who work together to press and win the ball high up, right now at barca there's the same problem and playing those 3 together won't solve it. Alright even if you koeman decides to play them together and sacrifice all the defensive duties, one, the opposition will have too much freedom to build out from the back and two, all of these 3 players' natural position is the number 10 role, you can go back and watch greiz's atleti, he used to play just behind the ST, cou was playing in a free role at Liverpool, and messi likes to drift inside, so, you'll have 3 players who love to drift to the middle/drop deep to get the ball. Explain how this will work defensively and in transitions
topaz crest
they all just clash and not let each other work well
even messi and coutinho in the same team causes all overlaps
Griezmann is more of a second striker
primal crescent
Grizzi kinda a cf
But second striker is also a position where he can be comfortable
grave glen
yeah but there's a chance that all of 3 of them will be in the squad, but I don't see them starting together. It's actually pretty interesting to think how koeman will line up, I'm not sure either but I expect double pivot with frenkie and pjanic, Messi number 10, now that koeman said griez will not play as a winger, he'll probably play as a 9, so if he will play as a 9, why is the board so eager to get Lautaro 
Inb4 board sells Alba and play griez as a left wing back
Lautaro right wing because suarez will never leave

implies Messi really wants to leave now
plain lily
Well, the catalan media is very toxic
The board have connections with journalists.
Probably someone from them spies Messi and Koeman.
🔴 Messi is not for sale.
🔵 Barça insist that he has a contract until 2021, and in addition, he's a crucial part to Koeman's project.
🔴 If Messi formally asks to leave, Barça will refer to his €700 million release clause.
[Mundo Deportivo]
potent spade
I mean
If he's really done with Barca they're better off selling him
Otherwise you have a player that doesn't even want to try
plain lily
exactly
📰 [MD - @ffpolo🥇] | Koeman will call Coutinho after the Champions League final as he is counting on him for Barça next season, but first he wants to know the player's intentions
He is good if he plays in natural role
Probably
Messi want a winning project. With this board, isnt realistic.
And he knows that
Probably PSG or City will be the next club
potent spade
I think Koeman can do it. If he actually has power to decide transfers. And not the board deciding on their own they should pay 120m for Griezmann because he did a fortnite dance.
grave glen
yes
plain lily
probably we know messi situation after some days , i think
Keep in mind that in the upcoming days, media outlets controlled by the board will run a vicious campaign against Messi. They have done it before with hiring a PR firm targeting his wife, and they will do it again to show that Messi is the problem.
Even after covering up the incompetence of this Board on the pitch, it will be made to believe that Messi is the problem. The Board's shambolic signings of 2 expensive players who directly play at Messi's position will somehow be turned on him that it is because of him that they couldn't flourish, instead of pointing out that they shouldn't have been signed at all.
Messi has never publicly spoken about the Board's failed transfers or incapability unless the puppets started excusing themselves of all the blame and criticized players, which he very rightly did being the captain. The Board is responsible to pay back the difference in economic targets and it is inevitable that they fail. Selling Messi will solve their economic problems. The board will do its best to force him out and blame it on him when he does.
[ La Senyera opinion ]

If they hire PR firm to discriminate messi on social media, its very bad

Apparently Barcelona is interested in Tagliafico from Ajax now

@grave glen yeah, maybe not. Pique should go tot the Inter Miami to play with Beckham. Dembele & Umtiti are injury prone.

On Griezmann:
"It's the exact same for Griezmann. With all due respect, Griezmann is not a winger. He has to play in a position where he is used to playing, and that fits his qualities. As a coach, it all starts with knowing your players and playing them in the right position."

Juve really wants full-backs and he's hyped so makes sense
topaz crest
@potent spade dortmund are gonna get 5 mil more from barca after dembele completes another appearence
topaz crest
idk how our club manages this
potent spade
Juve really wants full-backs and he's hyped so makes sense
@grave glen Juventus really has a knack for bad right backs
grave glen
true
plain lily
Juve aka the Old Seniors
grave glen
Cancelo was good for them
topaz crest
why did they sell him?
grave glen
And that was before they got danilo
plain lily
too younger for Juve ( cancelo )
tepid hemlock
oi, Lichtsteiner just retired recently
was a beast in his first few years in juve
but yeah, Grygera 😬
Dest seems a wild jump just because he went to Ajax
i dont think he even starts there
much less start for the likes of Juve/Barca/NL
err
nl
potent spade
Ajax declined a 20m offer for Dest I heard from someone else
tepid hemlock
USA
plain lily
Media propaganda
potent spade
Im gonna laugh so hard if someone offers like 30m for Dest
grave glen
I read Ajax said that vdb will cost 55m
plain lily
@potent spade i can this think if anyone offers smth for S. Roberto
potent spade
nah he really isnt lol
tepid hemlock
55m is what, 20-30 less than what he was last year :P
RM were ready to pay 60 or so
potent spade
dest cant defend for shit
plain lily
In that situation, Semedo was alone
daring flint
well im still gonna hate semedo
im currently in a depressed hatred vibe
so dont mind me
plain lily
Problem was Roberto who doesnt help Semedo
daring flint
yea def
potent spade
cancelo is so much better than dest or danilo lol
tepid hemlock
or semedo? :P
potent spade
yeah and semedo too
grave glen
cancelo is surely better than semedo
plain lily
Gerard Piqué is not on Barça's "casualty list". In principle, he's staying and Koeman will speak to him in a few days. The club will communicate with the other players who aren't a part of their future plans. [SER]
tepid hemlock
i mean, that supposed Everton offer aside
grave glen
he'll stay because they have no replacement
tepid hemlock
dont think anyone would have chucked shakiro aside
he'll retire and go into the staff
thats kinda obvious to everyone
plain lily
Pique should go to the Inter Miami
potent spade
Barcelona should have bought de Ligt when they had the chance, but they let him slip
tepid hemlock
MDL got CR'd
daring flint
he was amazing the best season
tepid hemlock
can't help it ;]
potent spade
CR'd?
grave glen
Cristiano ronaldo'd
tepid hemlock
indeed
grave glen
Agent cr7
potent spade
Huh?
daring flint
@grave glen still better then most defenders
potent spade
De Ligt got Raiola'd you mean
tepid hemlock
though if you believe the rumors, its more that the various girlfriends of Juve players convincing MDL's girlfriend that Torino is great
daring flint
that we will regret a season later
tepid hemlock
or more likely, that its close to Milan :P
because Torino is the definition of GRAY
boring ass city
potent spade
I feel like Raiola is the cause lol
daring flint
this is la liga channel mhm
potent spade
Not CR7
tepid hemlock
maybe if Barca refused to pay him at all, sure
daring flint
as a barca fan tbh i wanted de ligt
plain lily
One moment
potent spade
Juventus paid Raiola over 10m I think. No way Barca was going to do that
plain lily
🎙 [Sport] | Jordi Farre (Barça presidential candidate): "we had already started several conversations with Jurgen Klopp, because it seems to us that Barca need such a coach."
tepid hemlock
are there zero raiola players in barca?
grave glen
Lmao
torn ermine
de ligt to barca please
plain lily
😆
daring flint
wont happen
tepid hemlock
sure, his release clause of 150mil is up in 2 yyears
got at it
increases every year after that
torn ermine
great candidate for puyol tbh
potent spade
Juventus paid Raiola 10.5m lol thats probably the biggest amount ever paid to an agent in football 😆
daring flint
and de jong
torn ermine
19 years at ajax already a captain?
daring flint
imagine that fucking midfield
plain lily
Klopp is class. But he never left liverpool
tepid hemlock
@potent spade you underestimate raiola
torn ermine
thats what we need now
topaz crest
@daring flint arthur, puig and de jong would be too attack minded
and with attacking full back there would be a lack of balance
plain lily
Arthur is overhype
daring flint
like busquets is gonna do good being 33
tepid hemlock
played DM in gremio
topaz crest
arthur is still like a playmaker
daring flint
busquets is amazing ill give you that
potent spade
de Jong is a defensive midfielder though dont forget
daring flint
the guy cant run for shit though
tepid hemlock
also true
plain lily
Playmaker without assists
torn ermine
yes, we need some decent DM, all we care is cm and cam most of the time
grave glen
De Jong will play in a double pivot now obv
plain lily
His pass was always to the defenders.
torn ermine
replacement for busquets is hard
potent spade
no not ''if asked to'' de Jong is literally a defensive midfielder
topaz crest
even pjanic is attacking
tepid hemlock
also, la liga account putting benzema and R9 in the same picture, asking who is your favorite
daring flint
was a shit move
tepid hemlock
are they real
tepid hemlock
i know the la liga account admin is on drugs
daring flint
i love benz
plain lily
was a shit move
@daring flint
grave glen
Lol no way they did that
plain lily
Was a move for money @daring flint
topaz crest
still he pushes up and his strenths are neither his defending or strength @potent spade
potent spade
I think Barcelona is going to play a 4-2-3-1 next season with 2 defensive midfielders de Jong being one of them
torn ermine
busquets has been our backline pivot and also winning the ball a lot
plain lily
they swap players for a better fiscal year
grave glen
@potent spade and pjanic
torn ermine
he is the best for us
daring flint
man remember the good old 4-3-3 days
potent spade
still he pushes up and his strenths are neither his defending or strength @potent spade
@topaz crest mate, his strenght is defending
daring flint
when we were actaullly good
daring flint
and didnt bottle shit everyone
tepid hemlock
almost as cringe if you're an RM fan, i guess
potent spade
de Jong was literally a center back 2 years ago
daring flint
^^
potent spade
bet you guys didnt know that
daring flint
no one knew dejong 2 years back
potent spade
I did because I watch eredivisie lol
torn ermine
ajax start with 2 cdm right?
potent spade
Yes
daring flint
yea
plain lily
potent spade
I think Koeman wants to do the same next year at Barcelona, a 4231
plain lily
lmao
torn ermine
de jong literally dribbled from the back to the front at ajax and netherland
torn ermine
he is
plain lily
I think Koeman wants to do the same next year at Barcelona, a 4231
@potent spade same thing
grave glen
De Jong needs someone like schone to do some of the defensive duties tho because he loves carrying the ball, from what I've observed
daring flint
man just imagine messi rw dembele at lw griezzman at cf
when they actaully are playing good
idk why i like that trio
torn ermine
van de beek is interesting tbh, i love him
grave glen
won't happen so no need to imagine
daring flint
thats the depressing part.
plain lily
De Jong needs someone like schone to do some of the defensive duties tho because he loves carrying the ball, from what I've observed
@grave glen Pjanic
grave glen
Well he's no schone
potent spade
De Jong needs someone like schone to do some of the defensive duties tho because he loves carrying the ball, from what I've observed
@grave glen that's why there is the 2, in the 4231
plain lily
Btw, Pjanic is better than Vidal / Busi
grave glen
Pjanic is more attack minded than schone but he'll be good ig
torn ermine
Btw, Pjanic is better than Vidal / Busi
@plain lily you sure about busi?
daring flint
id love to a see a terstagen in goal a consistent lenglet infront of him with a laporte or a kouli (kinda unrealistic i know) and grimaldo as their lb
plain lily
Yes
potent spade
I dont know if Pjanic is even going to play tbh
daring flint
yea grimaldo
plain lily
Busi didnt defend , and his speed its 0
daring flint
^^
tepid hemlock
kinda vanished
grave glen
Grimaldo is class
torn ermine
emerson will be playing next season?
topaz crest
busi was a deep lying playmaker i think
grave glen
But he just extended his contract so he'll not join a club at least this summer
tepid hemlock
its all about the alex telles transfer rumours these days it seems
torn ermine
Emerson is good tho
plain lily
But if i need to buy someone for mid... Probably is Kante
torn ermine
he could be the next alves
daring flint
@plain lily never happening
plain lily
He is the only one who can save our mid
daring flint
still not happening
plain lily
But never happen.
topaz crest
kante has been underwhelming recently
tepid hemlock
you know what can save your mid
topaz crest
and hes not imposing
daring flint
yea kante has been pretty bad
tepid hemlock
professional, proper planning :P
daring flint
this season
topaz crest
being 5 foot 6
torn ermine
will emerson play next season? @grave glen
grave glen
o
daring flint
yea
tepid hemlock
you know, the kinda things barca management hasn't done since 2015
grave glen
I dont know if Pjanic is even going to play tbh
@potent spade rakitic leaving is quite possibly, vidal too, he'll be a starter
daring flint
emerson will hopefully play
potent spade
@potent spade rakitic leaving is quite possibly, vidal too, he'll be a starter
@grave glen a starter over Busquets?
daring flint
rakitic should go back to sevilla imo
plain lily
We need nutritionist and physicual trainers.
daring flint
rakitic would replace banega
grave glen
@torn ermine there were rumors with milan but Barto wants 30m so probably not happening
yeah
topaz crest
you could use a witsel type player
torn ermine
@torn ermine there were rumors with milan but Barto wants 30m
@grave glen ah shit here we go again
daring flint
witsel too old
topaz crest
hes comfortable on the ball and good defensively
plain lily
I mean, in the most cases, barca training are rondeo stuff
daring flint
only gonna decline
grave glen
@potent spade Busquets is in "not wanted" list of koeman I believe
topaz crest
not witsel, but someone similar
topaz crest
you could use a witsel type player
^ witsel type
topaz crest
i just took witsel cause ive seen him play the most
tepid hemlock
i mean, can busi do it in CL knockouts? 90mins? is he still there?
plain lily
The guys who plays with the ball but without strenght or good condition.
torn ermine
koeman be like: Bring all the dutch here
