You have to go after realistic targets though. For example, de Ligt is unattainable because he has just committed himself to Juve. You'd have to wait two or three other years for the Old Lady to be willing to sell.

I like the other targets as well, but again Kante is also out of reach.

As for Thiago, I would love to see him join Barça just to see the look of horror on hans' face.

De Jong should be playing behind Kante in that scenario

Vidal is the only barca player with good off the ball movement on the field

Well reshaping Barca "today" is also unrealistic. It will take a couple of years with good fortune.

But for Barca to be what I want it to be "today" I would have worked on the signing of those players in the previous windows and the upcoming summer.

Is Kante really THAT unattainable? I don't think so. Don't have any good DMs in mind though.

Instead of De Ligt, Upamecano or Skriniar.

Kante is not a DM

GOL
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Comical defending.

And somehow the elephant in the room is Messi

Umtiti caught in no man's land and Maxi wide open because Umtiti decided to play Ramos. Setien-Ball, good luck gents.

@ Roberto - again request to fuk off to Barca B for season pls, thank you.

It is Messi's fault. Because he doesn't press. Elephant in the room.

Dont worry, they are losing in style. It's all that matters

Not really Roberto's fault, he had to cover the central attacker. Umtiti is at fault here.

Barca playing like there's 30 seconds left in added time and they're 5-0 up lmao

there's still 10 minutes to go

this ref

Jesus

absolutely nothing

it's nothing

Busquets can't possibly get away with this

Ref to the rescue

another corner

WHAT

WHHAAAT

Well, his contract with Chelsea expires only in 2023. So unless you're willing to drop an enormous amount of money now, I can't see Chelsea even entertaining the idea of letting him go now.

They didn't even want to negotiate with Madrid for Hazard until he reached the final year of his contract, and even then, they demanded crazy money for him (100m for a player in his last year of contract is a lot, I think, even for a player like Hazard).

And Kante is a terrific player, one of the best in his position, if not the best. I don't think they'll let him go anytime soon.

That has to be the dumbest piece of refereeing I have seen all La Liga season. Doesn't give a foul nor a goal but tells them retake the corner.

what is this?

repeat a corner??

After a goal has been disallowed?

What?

Valencia doing Madrid a favor...now that's a rare sight to see.

has ever been a player as invisible as Griezmann in this match?

QUIQUE TAKA

OUT

What other team to support guys? I'm jumping ship

What decisions would you make if you could reshape Barca today?

off the top of my head

IN: Lautaro Martinez, Kante (or someone his type, more dynamic), Kimmich ( can't think of any RBs right now), De Ligt, Thiago Alcantara

OUT: Pique, Busquets, Roberto - urgently, also Rakitic


Ter Stegen
Kimmich Umtiti DeLigt Alba
Thiago Kante DeJong
Messi Lautaro Dembele

Interesting.

I would sell Messi or not renew his contract to free up massive wage space, I would keep Busquest as a rotation option and put FDJ as the DM, I would try and Get Salah/Mane or some other Goal scoring wide forward and also go for Lautaro as well.

For a RB I would keep Semedo. Agree with Pique but not sure you can get De Ligt for a while. His wages are insane. I would try to get KdB as well from City which is doable. He isn't on massive wages etc. Would also resign Thiago.

I would sell Dembele and resign Adam Traore as well.
