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 !

My Top Ten: Total Fiction- Three

No. 3. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn Series by Mark Twain          The great American novels. The novels, set in and 'round Mississippi river, and the state of course, for all but one novel, are a jewel to read. They are humorous, rich and enjoyable. Truly one of the greatest American novels.          Plot- A painstakingly simple plot for each novel, woven around a million subplots, adding humor and there you have it. But, it is not that easy. To find the right subplot, to find the best position to add humor, even to decide on jokes, is hard. It's not that easy to satisfy neysayers and these novels have done just that.          Characters- I wasn't born in the U.S.A. and I do not know how the kids there are. But, if their lif can be this adventurous, count me in ! Mark Twain creates a bond so tight that I must believe whatever he writes. Tom steals a hot air balloon, of course he can do that.    ...

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 !

My Top Ten: Total Fiction- Four

No. 4. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.  Yeah, it is not in my top three. I am disappointed too, but I can assure you, I like this book very much, it is just that I like three books more. It is Paulo Coelho's best work by far and understandably. According to him, it is based on Wisdom. It is more about dreams and how to chase them. Plot- A boy has had a dream, there is a treasure below the pyramids in Egypt and he sets off to find it. Oh, how simple that seems and yet I have barely seen a novel more difficult to get the true essence. His journey is filled with extra-ordinary coincidences and incidents, making the journey adventurous and also giving a scope for some wisdom to be shared. A book like no other, This is the first book I'd recommend to instill a reading habit.  Characters- Santiago....Melchizedek....the alchemist....the shopkeeper.... all of these characters have a separate soul. A person we could identify, not one we could relate with the author in any way. This is a...
