Gundalf

Huh? How can u afford all these players with only 150m? Fofana and De Jong alone would be way over that 150 already. The headline should be 250, thats more realistic. 😭😭😭😭😭

Or new Kounde 😔

Gladly, hes one of my dream signings, and Tuchels too ig, but he just doesn't wanna leave Barca, he will stay unfortunately, no matter what.

Idk, maybe Im just too desperate to get Alonso out the club 😅 Also, we need a striker, and there isnt really one out there that would make sense financially and would suit long term. I dont see it.

The latest talk was about €25m, so about £20m. We would get €8m back for Alonso, so effectively its £14m.

If paying for Auba means we can finally sell Alonso, I would do it. Barca doesnt seem to be able to register any more players without selling some. Just sign Auba for 25, get some of the money back for Alonso and we can move on.

"Well over 50M" - lol, cheeky little bastards.

Maybe they wanna connect it with the Auba transfers? Ig Barca has to sell before they can register any new players.

Yes, massive LotR fan here 😊 But not even Gandalfs magic can transform our strikers into goal scoring machines.

More drama 😅

Urgh!

These 2 + De Jong will go till deadline day. Dont expect a transfer before September.

Please dont sign him.

Thats why Im always very doubtful about players from Serie A. Its just too easy to score goals in this league. Thats why I dont buy this Osimhen hype at all, I mean even bloody 33yo Arnautovic (we laughed about Uniteds interest in him) scored the exact same amount of goals last season in a worse team. 32yo Immobile scored DOUBLE. Auba on the other hand has proven it in the PL (unlike Lukaku) and in La Liga. He had the best conversion rate last year in La Liga, quite above Benzema. His xG was 7, he managed to score 11 in 17 games. I think we can all agree we need a striker. Yes, we were great against Spurs, but yet again 2 goals scored by defenders, against Everton it was a pen. So still 0 goals in 2 games by our attackers. Our attackers just cant score. Its the same pattern as last year. We dont need another shiny, dribbly attacker, we need someone, who gets the ball, shoots and scores. Auba can do this job imo, considering how complicated the striker market is atm. Ofc its not the ideal addition, but having him for 1 or 2 years while we search for a suitable long term addition isnt the worst thing ig. Its a dilemma really. We need a striker, but the right choice doesnt seem to be available atm. We really should have gone for Jesus. But he was considered a chance waster as well at City. Maybe thats why we didnt pursue him, idk. Yes, paying a fee for him is just another "Barca fucks Chelsea" moment, but tbh, I dont see the alternatives. Yes, maybe Ronaldo, but Ronaldo destroys dressing rooms.

At least Auba can score goals. Noone else in this squad can.

Amazing if true. Some Marina heritage.

With the Gordon bid, it seems that we can't really get Fofana, so Reece will probably be RCB most of the times, with Gordon and RLC as RWB? Also: saying we don't really need De Jong bc of our packed midfield turned out to be wrong after only 2 games. Our midfield is injury prone af, so a midfielder should be a priority imo, also considering that Kante and Jorhingo would probably leave next summer. If I could choose between Fofana or De Jong, I would take De Jong 100%. De Jong, or another midfielder, should be priority #2 (after striker^^)
