23 man squad

wow, so many fifa 14 players

yes these players are in the game fifa 14 good observation

You want to buy Cavani just to shove him out of position on the Wing AGAIN?

Makes me wonder how many people actually watch players when they put them in fantasy XIs.

Yes, buying 6-7 new players seems wise.   

Realistically:

In:

ter Stegen
Keylor Navas / Willy Caballero
Benatia
Mathieu
a striker
Rafinha back from loan

Out: all the deadwood (Tello, Cuenca, dos Santos and so on)

That would suffice.

does barça even need a " striker " ? what's the point of signing a forward just to play him on the wing ?

Ah a normal list, also as for the striker i maybe wrong but i heard Barca want a striker to give them flexibility and allow a change in game plan.

Not necessarily a starter.

then alexis should be enough.
no world class striker would want to be a luxury sub or a utility player in a system that doesn't suit him.

I don't think they are looking at buying a Cavani or something like that realistically though.

Fans may want that, but the reality is something quite different.

Also Fußball on top of what you wrote, you don't feel the need for another midfielder due to Xavi on his last legs?

they need something different in attack. cavani can provide that, even from the wing, considering messi won't move from his false 9 position. the title is 'who should barca buy'. if it was 'who will', they will get david luiz and ter stegen

Cavani would work if Barca played that 4-3-3 where Messi played behind Villa in the past and Alves provided the width on the right.

--Neymar-------Cavani
----------------Messi
-----------------------------RB

Defensively Cavani would still track back as a RW.

I'm flip-flopping on the midfield every day. If Gündogan didn't have health problems this would be easy. But now that he isn't, realistically, there is no one else in the market who can come in and improve the midfield from what it is now IMO. Forget all the fancy-schmancy names like Vidal or Kroos. It will change nothing. Say we buy Vidal. What will he add? Okay, quicker and more mobile than Cesc, better at pressing and defending, more physical. What else? Not much. And in return he doesn't have the passing, vision, throughballs and assists of Fabregas. Would be an upgrade without the ball and a downgrade with the ball. I rather trust in Rafinha's potential then.

Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas and a talent like Rafinha must suffice. We have much bigger holes elsewhere.

Just sell us SAnchez I don't care about the rest

Spoiler:

Can Barca even buy anyone this summer?

Aren't they banned from the transfer market for a year.

Nah the ban was lifted for this summer.

At this moment I'd rather sell Pedro then Sanchez and even then were letting Sanchez go dirt cheap (25M, but Juve want to pay only 15M).
