So you guys are not going to rant about swapping Arthur for Pjanic? Wasn't the guy supposed to be the next Xavi? Whoever is in charge of transfers at Barca must be smoking dogshit.

Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if we swap De Jong for matuidi next season

Hes good no doubt but the love for him is based on the potential he has, not actually based on performances. I'm sure you can't give one game off the top of your head that Arthur was exceptionally good in except that long range shot he scored that caught the keeper unaware earlier this season. Trust me he won't really be missed.
I love him really, I really do but I'm not angry at the SALE, I'm angry at how he was sold and what we got afterwards.

I can still remember him against Tottenham in London, where those Tottenham workhorses couldn't come near him.

Of course, we won't miss him now, because he hasn't reached his full potential. But we will surely miss him later. Clubs are stocking up young players with different skillset and nurturing them, with the hope that they become world beaters. Look at Madrid, no Matter the nonsense Vinicius plays, he is still a regular, because they know he has potentials and he is improving. Once he is able to get right his finishing, then he will be a complete terror to opponents.

That is what we should do with Arthur. He is already contributing more goals now and he should only get better. Midfielders of his mould are not easy to get these days.

We've been watching football for so long to know that if you have it you have it. Arthur is 23 and in his 2nd season in Europe. What he has we can get it in Dejong without stress. Puig will do similar if he gets a full season with the first team and a run of games in his legs. We were sad when Alena, Malcom, Munir, Charles, Cucurella and several others but trust me none of them would be missed like Neymar. If you have it you have it.
Barca is a big club and can always buy players of his quality. The only issue is how poorly run Barca is.

To further butress my point, look at this pass by Puig, he passes the ball with purpose, always looking for space, that's the way it should be really.Not saying Puig is better than he is I'm only saying we expected way better from Arthur.
Arthur just appears too basic for my liking.

So many "if".

Arthur deserves to stay.

Yes we can always buy, but how has the buying helped us? It will help us better if we allow our current set of midfielders grow together.
Barring any great misfortune, Madrid have a great project on their hands because all their youngsters are growing together.

I feel you have forgotten some of the times he put up great performances. That boy dominated Kroos and Modric during one el classico oh.

I understand this really but it's not overtime we can get a Xavi and Iniesta who grew up together and played together, midfielders/players are always changing and subject to the coach. Tottenham players have been playing together for years and have nothing to show. Its not always a straight line graph really. The flip side is Sieten said this morning that the club haven't informed him of any of such deal.

The real deal about this Arthur deal isn't because we are losing a world class ( a potential, or whatever it is you choose to call him). In fact, if Barcelona was actually selling this guy for the whole £70M, then I really wouldn't have a problem. But to what essence is swapping him for Pjanic?

Before una come for my head, I'm saying Arthur isn't a potential. In fact, I was one of those people that basically overhyped him as the 2nd Xavi but somehow, this guy hasn't consistently proved to us why he should continue to stay.
That said, there are really lots of "Maybe(s)" surrounding his seemingly lacklustre performance:
Maybe the guy needs to learn from some key players in the same team as Xavi did. Maybe he isn't disciplined enough. Or should we just conclude that it is the "cagey" Barcelona tactics ( The oversung #PassToMessi) that is preventing him from reaching his full potentials?

Trust me guys, there are lots of questions begging for answers. Even the said Puig that is the midfield wave of the moment might end up in the same 'choked-up" system and start misbehaving.

Left to me, I'll either suggest the Barca board reconsider their stance on swapping Arthur for one "quarter-to" Juve midfielder. Better still, let him go on loan to a high-pressing club and let's see what he brings back to the team. If not The trophyless 90s saga will come knocking again once Messi retires. We might even be worse than Arsenal.

Ok, let's watch and see how things will play out. It's not like it is Arthur that will be the Ultimate saviour for Barcelona future.

Selling off Arthur is not the problem here, but exchanging him for another oldie is cause for concern, especially for 60M.

The squad has too many over 30 about-to-retire players already, why add more?

That matter enn... Barcelona is now a subsidiary for PENCOM. By next year, the club will become a full blown old people's home.

Our match against Leganes, the average age of the starting 11 was 30.

Except if Rakitic leaves, which I highly doubt, I don't see any of our +30 players leaving.

Weyrey! Dahdemola, you no dey forget something? Nihilist na bascard Where u dey all this while?

Puig starts.

Today's game at the Abanca-Balaidos, won't be an easy one. Celta has been a very serious team since after the restart. We have to be really up for it, if we hope to get all 3 points.

I wish us all 3 points!

Goallll

Clever goal from Suarez!

Ahhh! Ter stegen

Messi to give assist don dey become sure game. Another kain player to score penalty na sure odd.
