TheKingObv 10,642 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 He'll be in to provide completion to Rakitic/Iniesta etcDefinitely can't see him starting straight away but 24 million is a lot for a rotation player Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingObv 10,642 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I've absolutely no idea where he will playMaybe shift Busquets out, put Iniesta in to that role and play Turan where Iniesta would normally play?But fk knows.No chance they are dropping Busquets.

Gaz52 11,837 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 No chance they are dropping Busquets.Yeah highly unlikely mate but it's the only thing I could think of to fit him in. Unless they just spent £24m on a player to cover the LW/RW as it looks like Pedro is on the way out but that's far too much money to spend just for a sub.Enrique obviously has a plan, he's smarter than me anyway so I'll leave it to him to decide what he's going to do Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,801 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 He might be like Fabregas and cover for the front three and the midfield. Barcelona will be playing a lot of matches so I think he'll be getting plenty of game time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger4life_1872 29,460 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 In what way?It was never a transfer ban, just a ban from registering new players.the whole delaying it too allow them to fill their squad meaning it hasnt been detrimental too them as a club like a punishment should be , although im happy in a way at that because i dont think any club should ever be banned from making transfers or registering players Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,686 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I don't think so.Where will he play?It also makes Pedro signing a new contract all the more baffling.Replacement for Xavi? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 that's no big thing young prospect yes but another show of downsizing.Getting one of the most highly rated youngsters in Europe isn't downsizing.I hate that mob as much as everybody else does but getting him, even if it's just for a year, would be a coup.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Why are Tottenham (his favoured option. Another quality player who seemingly wants to go to a club who aren't even going to achieve anything) and Southampton the only teams interested in Alderweild?I thought he was excellent last season and for 11.5 million you would think Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal or even Liverpool would be all over that and you would think that's the sort of move he would be looking for too.

Either that or his surname is Koeman.It's absolute madness and it surely can't be the best value for money that they can get either?I really rate Clyne but I wouldn't be surprised if he turns to absolute shit now that he's gone there.I don't like Liverpool, but I still hope Lallana will come good for them purely because I really rate him as a player but if he doesn't start the season well then somebody might easily be in a position to pick up a bargain in January.
