Barcelona's Transfer Rumors : Is any transfer worth it ?

 It's no secret that Barcelona have spent big for some years and have failed miserably. 

Barcelona have been linked to a few players recently, so let's dive in and see if they make sense from footballing point of view. 

1. Neymar-  Yes, Bartomeu has ruled it out but what was the reason of wanting an irregular and clearly undisciplined player, even though he has a plethora of talent ? He is 27, he has already peaked and won't play half as good as he used to. It was clear to many cules but the board wanted make a marquee signing. Not particularly Barcelona like is it ? 

2. Lautaro Martinez- A brilliant player and Messi himself compared him to Suarez. This is huge, but we need to understand that he is going to cost Barca north of 100 million Euros. This amount of money cannot be spent on a striker right now. We have a couple of positions which need to be dealt with before that and a hundred million just because we want to win the Champion's League when Messi is here ? No. It's primarily because Bartomeu wants to have a Champion's League under his belt before the elections. All of this after letting Carles Perez go to Roma ? Not acceptable. 

3. Eric Garcia- A brilliant center back and a player who shares a motherly bond with Barcelona, this is getting good. Reports suggest that he will cost around twenty million Euros, which is justifiable to anyone who has seen him play. He has a towering presence, composure and technical ability of a midfielder (As almost every La Masia graduate has) He will be a great addition to the squad and he can, according to me, take Pique's place. 

4. Guendouzi- This is getting hilarious now. Guendouzi for Coutinho. Are the board here to make us laugh ? Even if he was a good player, he has many negatives to his side. First of al, he is not disciplined. Then, he plays in midfield, defensive midfield and that position is not vacant, contrary to that, we have four holding midfielders already. Busquets, De Jong, Pjanic and Monchu. And arguably,  even Pjanic is better than Guendouzi. I do not see a meaning to it. 

5. Willian- Yes, Willian is a brilliant player, he may be coming on a free transfer, but I do not think this is correct. First of all, he is going to demand a great amount of salary which is not sensible to give to almost certainly a benchwarmer. And that would almost certainly create a sense of uneasiness in the dressing room and that won't be great.

            However, we must acknowledge that the board is slowly getting what the fans want. They have signed players like Pedri, Trincao and promoted players like Riqui Puig and Ansu Fati (That's due to the Manager)

Barca: A season to forget- Left Wing/ Midfielder

THE PLAYERS- I am not considering Coutinho and Griezmann Left Wingers. 1. Ansu Fati- An  astoundingly ridiculous revelation this season, Ansu Fati will surely be a major part any success we are * hoping * for. His speed and aggressiveness is always channeled and timed well. He can create something out of very little. This is the quality we were craving for, and we have got it in the form of Ansu.  2. Pedri- I know, he is not a first team member just yet, but that is not to say he won't recieve first time action. I think when Ansu needs rest, Pedri should get some starts against less physical sides like Villarreal. Conclusion- After two seasons after Neymar left, we finally have two very good wingers on both flanks. This is definitely good !

Barca: A season to forget- What needs to change ?

What needs to change, in order to win the champions league this August ? So, I can'y really talk about mentality because I am not aware of the happenings in the dressing room, so, let's talk about tactics. Formations and player roles.  TYPE 1- 4-1-2-1-2 narrow Goalkeeper- Ter Stegen two center backs- Pique and Lenglet/ Pique and Araujo Right back- Semedo Left back- Jordi Alba Holding Midfielder- Sergio Busquets Two Central Midfielders- Riqui Puig and Vidal/De Jong /Rakitic Attacking Midfielder- Messi Two strikers- Suarez and Griezmann/ Fati ( He can definitely play there)               This formation was used in the last five games of league and it was evident that it worked fine only when the opposition was not ultra defensive. Napoli, sadly, is ultra defensive. In this formation, the defence has usual work. In the midfield, Busquets has to stay deep and think attacking. He needs to put ball forward after intercepting passes or gettiing ball...

Barca-1 : RMA -3

 Of Course it's the match review.  Look, we played well. If that calms you down, it should not. We need to win to show for it. No matter how many chances are created, until they are put away. Real Madrid were, by far the second best side today. But, they won. Maybe that's because of the VAR decision, but we need to understand that we should have been at least 3-1 up at that point. There's no excuse for that kind of finishing, in an El Clasico, the PREMIER FOOTBALLING SHOWCASE. At least it used to be. Now, there were some things more alarming, and some good ones, but as has been the case this season, finishing remains to be sharp. So, what are the even more negative things ? 1. Busquets. Yeah. I said it before, I will say it again, De Jong and Busquets can't play together. They do not complement each other. For details, click  here  . 2. The day Koeman was appointed, I had one, singular doubt about him. his passiveness. That is what we saw today. Yes, starting Pedri a...
