Good one, although Barca <3 going for their overpriced hyped up players rather than low profile ones who would be good all the same.
De Vrij is more likely to end up at a team in EL if he leaves than one in the CL IMO.

Re: Transfer Rumours
he's not better than muller for bayern who knows maybe pep will want to keep him but I dont see him staying, hes still got quality and some years left in him. could go for decent price as well. we need a good RW, and those are hard to find these days.Mr Nick09 wrote:Waaaaaat?Albiceleste wrote:should go for robben too

I thought you were making a joke because of this
Well, yeah, Caceres was fast, but someone that can pass a ball and has a brain would be better.
I guess not.
Robben would be bad for us. Besides he's getting older and he's injury prone so I don't see the point. This is besides his obvious passing difficulties.
I've never seen de Vrij play.
I like Koscielny, Dede and Marquinhos. I haven't seen much of the last two but I've seen Koscielny a lot and he's quality. He's made some bad mistakes before but overall he's class.

Re: Transfer Rumours
de Vrij is very a good passer of the ball with great technique and composure. I've also been very impressed by his tackling and physique. The only problem is he is not the fastest CB but I think he's at least as quick as Piqué. The only problem is I wouldn't put him in the same category as Puyol, but he is young and already showing his class in Eredivisie, has got called up to the Dutch national team as well recently. He won't cost a fortune either.
He'll definitely be an improvement to Barcelona's defence and will slot in perfectly in the system but I still think Barça need to look at another player as a long-term replacement for Puyol (top priority signing in the summer imo). I am not sure who, because the CBs of Puyol's breed are dying in the football world.
As I've already said before, Koscielny would be a good addition but he won't be cheap at all. Vermaelen was superb a couple of seasons ago but he seems to have lost it somehow.

Why? too similar to Pique?
I have always felt Pique and Hummels would never work.
More or less.
I am also sick of the sort of feeling that we are buying defenders based on what they do on the ball...its tiring.
We are so unathletic as a team its about time thats changes in my opinion.

We will never get a Real Madrid player... It just won't happen so forget Ramos and Varane...

Re: Transfer Rumours
No idea why Dedé is such a fan favourite on this section. I say mainly cause people don't know enough about him. Yes hes quick, athletic and a beast in air but I watched him a year ago against Palmeiras and wasnt impressed one bit with his positioning or ability on the ball.And he ain't very young.
Sakho is a good defender but you'll have to pay a fee for a world class player and not getting one in return.
I'd go for Koscielny personally if Arsenal let him go for €25m.

Re: Transfer Rumours
I doubt Sakho costs upward of 25m...and considering he is like 5 years younger than Kosc...thats not an easy choice there.

If Kosc costs 25, we might ad well add 15 more and sign varane who is 9 years younger and is/will be much better.

Re: Transfer Rumours
Sakho can't play the ball from the back and doesn't read the game as well as Koscielny. I've seen both getting caught napping quite a few times though, definitely an area both need to improve on.The Franchise wrote:I doubt Sakho costs upward of 25m...and considering he is like 5 years younger than Kosc...thats not an easy choice there.
Also no way PSG will let Sakho go for €25m.
Re: Transfer Rumours
Given the Sakho-Carlo relationship I don't think 25M is an exorbitant price. He's not TS.

I did say its not an easy choce, while Sakho isnt as good as Kos with the ball, he is considerably stronger and generally a better athlete. Kos is no slouch but I give Sakho the nod in that area, hes a beast. Not to mention he is still improving, Kos is at his peak right now.
I disagree about that, money isnt a problem for PSG, they arent going to care if its his value is slightly more than they sell. But what the issue is, if Sakho wants out and forces it, they have to accept that lower figure. Carlo would rather take a loss and be rid of a headache than cry about a couple of mil here or there, especially with the money they have.
I think 25m is quite alot, I doubt he goes for much more than that if he goes anywhere.

Re: Transfer Rumours
I genuinely don't think Sakho is a better athlete. Maybe you're saying that cause he's African but Koscielny has more stamina and more speed. Also I've rarely, if ever seen Koscielny get outmuscled despite his lanky appearance. And technically for me, Koscielny wins hands down by a mile or two.
Yes true, Koscielny is at his peak but I don't think Sakho at his peak will be as good as him. He's not technically as gifted as the Arsenal man.

Stamina is impossible to tell for a centerback and hardly important.
But Sakho is bigger, stronger, jumps higher (though its close)..Kos is faster..and athletically, thats about it.
I have seen Koscienly outmuscled and I have seen times being stronger might of helped, for example the penalty he gave away to Dzeko.
Overall its not by much but I get the nod to Sakho.
I cant guess how good Sakho will become, I dont know if he will be better than Kos either. Cant even guess on that one.
Either way I dont think we will be in for Sakho anyway, I get the feeling.

Re: Transfer Rumours
I think at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference and what you think Barcelona may need. Having said that I think if Sakho joins Barça he will play for a few times until people will realise he's not on the same wavelength as his team mates and then comes the steep learning curve for him. With Koscielny this won't be an issue.
I agree that Barcelona won't even enquire about Sakho when there are other big names floating around. Hummels comes to mind and as most here have agreed won't bring what your defence is lacking.

Re: Transfer Rumours
Indeed. And just for the record, I do think Koscienly is better than Sakho right now.

Re: Transfer Rumours
I don't give a sh*t if he just joined last year and he loves Spurs, I think we ought to take a serious look at Vertonghen. Levy would make him expensive, yes...but I can't see him as being more expensive than 25 million. He's 25, entering his prime soon, a solid defender, the best one on one defender I've seen in the EPL, great tackler, fantastic in the air, he's got the technical skills and the passing needed for Barca and he's showed that he can play in a high line with Spurs (not as high as Barca, but he can adapt).
He can also play LB as well, he's got a foot, and he can shoot.
The problem is he may be a bit slow. But it's never really been a problem for him the EPL. Although we might be going in the same direction as, albeit not as extreme as, Hummels.
He's still worth a serious look IMO. Just because we missed out on him for cheap doesn't mean we should disregard him.
Personally I love the Belgian GOAT.

Why the hell didn't we get him last year? Its going to be very hard for us to get him now given such a successful season with Spurs...
