Blues Forever 1,232 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Barcelona board have put every Barça player except Messi and Ter Stegen on the market in order to fund the signing of Lautaro and Neymar. Cheeky bid for De Jong, Lenglet, or Arthur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,408 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I love how there were several staff that just up and quit given how poorly the Barca board have acted since 2016. Remember when Real thought it be a good idea to have Gago and Diarra as their pivot? Honestly it’s as if they’ve traded board members.

Good signing for Bayern, they desperately need a bc but I doubt he will play much once Süle and Herandez are back from injury. Bad move for him personally as we have seen at Leipzig he is a player who needs to play and also who is better with the same player next to him every week.

Plus, Bayern plays a back 3 sometimes. If Boateng leaves (I assume he does, he is one of my archetypal examples of a great player rapidly falling off one the approach or hit 30yo, he is only 31yo, but seems to have been shit for ages, lol) Bayern as only ONE pure CB (Süle) and if Alaba leaves, Lucas Hernández has to play LB if Davies has a knock. Dayot Upamecano Lucas Hernández (backup LB if Alaba leaves, and I still am not 100% sold on him being best used at CB, versus LB, but Bayern atm have 3 of the top 4 LB's in the world, which is just insane) Niklas Süle only pure CB if Boateng leaves, and no Upamecano buy Jérôme Boateng gone, or if not, a true bench player David Alaba probably gone, and he was playing at CB due to injuries Alphonso Davies soon will be the best LB in the world IMHO Benjamin Pavard (starting RB, can play CB as well, I still rate him a lot) Álvaro Odriozola gone, Bayern are not going to buy him from Real, he was surprisingly poor, not sure why he struggled so much, he was a beast at Real Sociedad, but sometimes players just do not adapt to certain leagues or teams, if I was him, I would go back to Sociedad, they need fullbacks, plus omg, it is San Sebastián! Joshua Kimmich (2nd best RB in the world, but now is forced to play a DMF, where he is also WC, just a superb player) must be nice to have that for your defence choices, lololol btw Odegaard has told Real Madrid that he wants to stay at Real Sociedad for another season https://www.managingmadrid.com/2020/4/13/21219526/odegaard-has-told-real-madrid-that-he-wants-to-stay-at-real-sociedad-for-another-season NikkiCFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Süle is an absolute beast. Maybe the best Natural athlete in football. Will be the best cb in the world in a few years. Anyway. I think Bayern are Surely gonna add fullbacks and they will rather play Hernandez CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 31,181 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Man City join race for River Plate defender with €22m release clause and more transfer rumours Manchester City are interested in River Plate centre-back Lucas Martínez Quarta, reports say. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-transfer-real-madrid-18185044 The 23-year-old defender has been tracked by Inter Milan and Real Madrid, according to Calciomercato, and now City have been named as potential buyers for Quarta. Ajax, Borussia Dortmund and Real Betis are also said to be interested in the defender, who has a €22m release clause and has been a regular for River Plate over the last two seasons. City are in the market for a new central defender to replace Vincent Kompany, who left the club last summer. Injuries to Aymeric Laporte, John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi have highlighted the need to bring in a new centre-back. Players like Kalidou Koulibaly, Nathan Ake and Dayot Upamecano have been linked with moves to the Etihad in recent months. Meanwhile, two Spanish clubs are attempting to sign David Silva when he leaves City this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucked at 2 places for sure LB, so fucked, its capitulation, I have been ranting on this for years and it gets worse each year, inexcusable, fuck Marina, fuck the board no good backup GK/competition for Kepa, Willy will soon be 39 ffs, and he is shit, if Kepa keeps up his slump, we are fucked here then and if one of our 3 wingers goes down, we have no true backup left, unless we renew Afro and NO. Barkley and RLC are not good wingers plus, we are pretty screwed at CF if Tammy goes down, as Giroud is serviceable as a sub, but not a full time starter we also have to hope that Lamp's is right on about our CB's and that some or most are good enough to go deep into cups and make a serious run for the tile down the road (I have major doubts) if Kante does not rebound, we also are so weak at DMF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GK: Kepa, Willy, Blackman CB: Rudi, AC, Zouma, Dave FB: James, Zappa, Alonso, Maatsen CM: Mount, Kante, Jorgi, Kova, RLC, Gilmour, Barkley/Baka/Pasalic AM: Ziyech, CHO, Puli, Pedro CF: Tammy, Giroud, Broja Personally, I think in the case of no transfers in we have still seen the end of Emerson, I would be amazed if he is here next season as he appears to want to return to Italy. On top of this, I would also expect to see: Batsh*t sold/loaned, as Broja in the CF3 position offers probably the same level as we are getting from him Tomori and Amapdu will go out so that they can get 90 mins consistently as I cannot see the club selling Zouma or AC in this market. Zappa coming back to add some depth so we can use Dave as a CB4 option. Pedro and Willy getting extensions. Blackman coming back as GK3 as he is the best GK we have from the academy and Kepa and Willy is hardly rock solid. After that, it would just be something like Barkley may go (could see the Saudi's buying someone like him for Newcastle) depending on SFL's confidence in RLC's fitness and what makeup he wants in his midfield because I see no takers for Baka and Pasalic has proven himself to be handy.
