The Departures until now and the signings needed.

 It's no secret that Barca are going through a period of "transformation". But, how have they fared until now ?

Luis Suarez- 

By far the biggest name to go out of the door. Luis Suarez has been released to Atleti for a record shattering 6 million Euros. Yeah, not very good. A player with around 200 goals for the club is sold for a price of a teenager to a major competitor. That's business. But thinking ahead, except money-wise, this was a wise decision. I think Koeman is too stubborn to play him after he decided that he is not in the plans, and it would just add to the uneasiness in the dressing room. 

Arturo Vidal-

The warrior has officially left guys, and he proved many of us wrong. I took it for granted that he was here to warm the bench and he turned out to be the only lively presence on the field. I still don't prefer the way he plays, but he kept us alive in many matches, with the energy and tackles. That said, we would have to come back to a technically adept midfield at some point, and this is just the right time to trust the youngsters. 

Nelson Semedo- 

He is the youngest of the lot and probably the one that made perfect sense. He is fast, can dribble and all of that, but he is not of the mould that is required for becoming a Barcelona player. 30 million is a decent amount and it will be beneficial for the Dest or max aarons deal. 

Ivan Rakitic- 

Another one of the players who do not really fit the 'Barca player' identity but succeeded. So, a similar story with him, we need to focus on the youngsters. 

The incoming players- 

Based on rumors. 

Sergino Dest-

It's a pair made in heaven deal, which, could go wrong, but mostly will be worth the money. He is quick, intelligent and creative. A player who is indeed capable of performing on the highest level. 

Max Aarons-

Max Aarons deserves much better than the Championship. He is a talented, and, to be honest, too quick.  Well, he would be a great addition. The left side is empty by the way.

Eric Garcia-

I have said this time and time again, Eric Garcia HAS to return to Barcelona. Him and Araujo playing together is a mouth watering prospect. Just think of it. Garcia, Araujo, Dest, Aarons and Ter Stegen, we'll be unpenetrable. That's, of course, an overstatement. 

To be honest, this might well be the perfect signings and guide Barca to it's level again, while there's also a chance of them failing, and even more grave, them not coming at all. So let's wait.  

That's it then !

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...
