Wtf dounts

Andre gomes is amazing

Bomb signing

Amazing transfer window so far

i haven't watched him enough to say he's "a bomb signing"

but either way this transfer seems like a odd one, the press conference yesterday said we wont be selling turan, next day we buy another midfield? after buying suarez as-well.

this seems more like a jab (a dumb one at that) at real madrid, kinda like what they did to us with danilo (another odd transfer that seemed like a jab at us)

this signing would of made more sense if we sold turan or bought gomes next summer when iniesta will probably become more like xavi in his last season with us.

More competition in midfield is good

Nobody should feel comfortable at their position cause it may be taken away by a younger wolf

Hence the transfers of young players

RVP has been named allot as a possible forward option. Since we blew our load on Gomes, I honestly wouldn't be shocked if it happens lol

vietto might still be an option honestly, only reason he's not a sevilla player is because he's negotiating with us apparently..
and he's 22 which fits the transfer policy lol

Barça has reached an agreement with Atlético Madrid regarding Luciano Vietto (22), a transfer is now up to the player. [various sources on Twitter]

Wow....would be a hell of a transfer window tbh..

yeah all thats missing is a rightback lol and it'd be a perfect fifa or football manager sort of transfer season

know any good 22 year old rightbacks?

I these fools are rolling the dice with Vidal/Sergi lol

Lucho had a presser today and he stressed that that was the point of bringing Vidal, and that Sergi proved he can play the position so that they feel perfectly covered at RB lol

keeper : bravo / mats / masip
rightback : aleix / s. roberto
centerback : pique / masch / umtiti / mathieu / verm
left back : alba / lucas
defensive mid : buscuit / samper / masch
centermid : rakitic / iniesta / turan / gomes
leftwing : neymar / d. suarez
striker : l. suarez / vietto???
rightwing : messi / rafinha

thats 25/25 man squad so far (if we get vietto)

i believe that's what we're going for??
making rafinha / d. suarez go to the wing backups rather than centermid
i mean other than rightback every position is pretty solid

Yah, remember that Verm/Montoya/Tello are still all on the squad but will be sold.

Turan is still a possibility he will get sold. And it had been rumored for months that if Gomes arrived we would deff loan out Samper to a La Liga club (Song left today to Rubin Kazan). So expect some more changes.

Over all, we are building a very nice squad this window. All key players are staying, and solid back ups are arriving that can help the first team and will possibly grow to future starters. Really great window thus far and theres still over a month left.

Sport in reporting that the deal for Gomes includes Montoya headed the other way.

roberto > zubi btw..
i may not agree with all the signings but the guy gets sht done, and not in the last two weeks of august getting some old timers.

The bench will be really good next season

I prefer Carrasco tho but Vietto is fine too

isn't he a winger?
from the press conference

Luis Enrique wrote:It's true that we are looking for a forward. We want that player to be motivated with desire and to score. I want a pure striker who arrives in the area and is capable of scoring goals.

idk if vietto fits the bill of "pure striker" but he does play more centrally which i guess is what enrique meant

Wow, we are getting stuff done this season. Vietto looks exciting as well. Concerned as to how he will develop because front 3 is the place where hardly anyone gets playing time when MSN are fit.

LE has his task cut out to actually develop these players. I hope he doesn't go all yolo with his rotation like at Roma.

i don't get why people say this.. would he get more chances in a small club like sevilla? sure
but in real madrid, juve, bayern, or any top club he wouldn't be a starter..
if he joins us he's basically covering the whole forward line..
one injury is all it takes for him to get constant minutes as a starter.
one suspension from msn and he'll start.

copa de rey, late substitute, international week he'll probably get minutes.

if we get vietto i easily see him playing over 15+ games next season

yep he is more of a winger

But Vietto isn't a pure striker too as you mentioned

Idk I just like Carrasco better lol

I say that because it's difficult to bench any of the MSN, just for rotational purposes. It depends on injury.

It's a similar case with other clubs, but more so with ours. Messi insists on playing scrub Cope matches lol

I think that's why the Vietto signing has been between us (a big club) and Sevilla (more opportunities).

So apparently Rakitic's agent hinted at Rakitic leaving due to the Gomes deal. If we sell Rakitic instead of Turan then the club are legit morons.

Also Lacazette started following Barca on social media. Probably means nothing but twitter is going crazy with it

Given the way we have conducted business this window, wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if he is announced.

Isn't it only Sport reporting that Rakitic might leave ?

You forgot Douglas. And Munir as well.

Initially at least Gomes and Turan will be nowhere near good enough to replace Rakitic. Hope he does not start worrying for what seems like no rhyme or reason to me.

i don't believe douglas will feature in our team next season even if he stays, more of a chance he goes to the B team.

munir will be loaned out the minute we get a new forward.

rakitic denied the rumors and said he's looking forward to the new season in barca.

How fans rate Munir? Very less is being talked about him, same with Rafinha.

Munir will get the same playing time he got last year. Sandro left so that leaves space open up front for Vietto and Munir to share as back up strikers/wingers when needed. Rafinha is in Brazil with Neymar getting ready for the Olympics, let's hope he doesn't get injured lol

Anyways, here are some deals that will apparently be made official in the following days (maybe even by EOD today)

In
Vietto to Bracelona

Out
Tello to Fiorentina for 7M
Adriano to Besiktikas

Rakitic also confirmed on twitter that he isn't going anywhere
