Rumor: Yea or Ney-mar - The 2019-20 Transfer thread

Yep, what we need is another 30 year old pkayer to add to our lighting quick midfield of Rakatic, Busquets and Vidal

 

I heard we also interested on signing back Iniesta, Masche and Alves. We will win the CL with oldest squad ever.

 

Don't forget Xavi, he can be player manager.

 

What the hell

Arthur to Juve

Are they insane? There is too much smoke for it to be a silly rumour

 

I think Messi wants to win now which means I can understand a move for Pjanic who let's face it a veteran and a world class midfielder. I mean short-term it is an upgrade but long-term it's a baffling move to say the least. Plus Pjanic doesn't really address our weakness in the CL which is a lack of physicality.

 

Arthur is to young to play for Barca, we need some more 30 year old midfielders

I guess the optimist will see it as Puig playing more (in Arthur’s role) and Pjanic essentially replacing Rakitic as the box-to-box midfielder that plays every match.

So we get a bit younger in two positions .

 

Here's what will happen, Pjanic will start, play well, then be dropped to the bench for the next 7/8 games, making occasional sub appearances , then his confidence will drop, however well he plays he will not be a fixture on the team, he will be in and out, then after about 1 and 1/2 seasons he will leave. Pretty much as all our signings have done under this board.

 

Perhaps we are trying to assemble the oldest squad in the history of football, is David Villa still playing?

 

Na ..

Shades of Brazil 1970

 

Hope he stay although he is off form and has some fitness problems. We need young players like him. Pjanic is good but he is 30 years old.

 

Griezmann doesn't fit well on this team...it is like he sticks out like a sore thumb because they do not play him in his natural position which is like a secondary striker. But Messi plays that exact position and then there's Suarez who you have there already. Barcelona when they put him on the wing it just is not working so his impact on the game would be lessened as opposed to when he was in Atletico playing his natural position, you see his impact on the field change dramatically. Worst move Barcelona made was signing Griezmann. Put Ansu Fati there on the wing supporting Messi and Suarez, then you will see different results.

 

Arthur will leave and Pjanic will come.

 

Meanwhile, Ndombele reportedly has had enough of Mourinho and wants out. He barely ever starts under Mourinho. His salary is pretty high but I imagine Spurs would be interested in Coutinho.

Pjanic to Barcelona...I wouldn't mind that at all

 

If anything Mourinho should leave

 

Its likely we will let Rakitic ,Vidal, Coutinho all leave at the end of season.

 

Rakitic will probably go to Bundesliga but Vidal I can see him in Premier League and Coutinho goes to Serie A

 

Is Arthur unsettled !?!

I love watching him play !

 

No, this board is crazy nuts

 

Arthur really slows game down, lack of forward pass as well. He is good at possesing but that only work when we lead 2-0 or more.

 

Griezmann is the problem

 

I still can't get over the fact that Artur is basically going for 10 million to Juve.
While Barca is gaining a player that is 6 years older
