transfer Sergi Roberto

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Would be a great signing. If this gets done we will laugh at the people now complaining about having sold matic.

Unrealistic

[Strike 7,474]

He's got a very good burst of speed as well. Gives Conte options - Kante- Sergi or Kante- Bakayoko or Kante- Bakayoko - Cesc or Kante- Bakayoko - Sergi

Would be a really solid set of midfield options for the season

Barca have just confirmed the signing of Paulinho (yes, the shit Spurs flop ) from Chinese League.

They both play essentially the same positions in CM/RB so Sergi might just have got his reason to leave if Valverde for some bizarre reason prefers Paulinho over him. Mind you Paulinho just became Barca's 4th most expensive signing ever after Suarez, Neymar and Zlatan so I doubt he was signed to be a backup.

This guy is saying there's a "total breakdown of relationship between Sergi Roberto and Barcelona management" with Chelsea and United interested.

Damn, this guy would be an amazing signing, but can't see it happening.

Quick, sign him up

The fuck would United be after another midfielder?

They don't have much depth apart from Fellaini and Carrick. Both of those can be considered backups for Matic, but I see the reasoning in going after another dynamic midfielder to rotate with Herrera and Pogba. And Sergi can also cover at right-back, a position where they have only Valencia at the moment.

But yeah, if he's available for a move and both clubs interested he would have a much better chance of nailing a starting position at Chelsea than he would over in Manchester. But then again so did Danilo, and he still ended up choosing City so who knows.

Fellaini, Matic, Pogba, Carrick, Herrera, and Blind who can fill in adequately in midfield. I'd love to have 6 midfield options here.

I'd be pretty disappointed if he's available and we don't get him whilst an already stacked United side get him. Sergi Roberto is infinitely more talented and a much safer buy than Drinkwater.

United play three in the middle for most games though, so 5-6 options are needed at the very least. Having a guy like Carrick as the last backup will never hurt, a good leader in the dressing room and can still sometimes do the job when called upon but won't complain about the lack of playing time because at that age he's probably more than happy to sit back and enjoy a backseat role.

Anyways, Sergi Roberto is an absolute must-have type signing if he's available. Also has that €40M release clause too, so even the price would be a bargain for someone of his talent. Don't mind if he stays at Barca because at the moment I don't consider him a realistic option anyway, but would be really gutted if he ended up at some other club like United.

He would be quality buy for backup but I think he might struggle in PL, Pogba, Dembele would bully him all day.

He won't see them week after week. I think he's a solid player who can do a lot of things that can help the team. Very good passer of the ball and able to cover a few positions.

Yeah but PL is still quite tough. 

The problem with finding good player for PL is that he is phyisicaly capable of playing full seasons in PL and at same time skilled enough to play CL. 

If it lacks the first, he wont make it in PL and will be sold, if he lacks second, he will be destroyed in CL. 

Finding such players is very difficult then.

As for Sergi, in current situation, Im all in to have him here.

To piss us off obviously. Jose is on a mission, the old bitter twat.

[Jase 43,479]

It feels depressing to even discuss potential transfers when we know the board will probably end up botching them.

 you may be right here but there is no way to prove it. sergi wouldn't be the first smallish player to play in the prem. There was definitely a time where physical stature meant everything, I'm just not sure that is still AS prevalent today.

He'd be a nice addition to the squad if you ask me. His abilty to run with the ball and pass it accurately is excellent.
