Fermin in for injured Olmo

Kilishihunter:
De jong can play CB. He played there at Ajax. It would make our defence and midfield even more press resistance but I understand your fears especially if he drives with the ball like he does and loses it upfield. I don't think we will sign a quality CB in January sha probably next summer

I think what is bringing the fears is FDJ's well known past habit of escorting opponents instead of being an obstacle to opponents.

Howbeit, I believe he can do well as a defender. He just needs to change his attitude and awareness. Flick can teach him.

Yes! I'm present here at 7000 pages.

If we say a player loves a club; Cancelo is that player.

His type is very rare.

NewHe:
So na only APC be party wey dey contest for Osun governance

What do you want me to talk? To the oppositions - every other person is a Saint inasmuch he or she is not APC.

Even if anybody is killed nobody cares who he is or support. Dey will say its APC people that killed him. Even if its cultist that used this tension in osun to kpai themselves. People will say its APC people that killed him.

NewHe:
So who killed the APC guy yesterday?

Another APC. No other party kills only APC

Al-hilal have raised Cancelo's price tag to 15m from 10m. Isn't this frustrating?

This deal may soon move up to 20m - 25m eventually as the transfer window moves to a close. What's the delay since? Must Barca foil every other deal because of waiting on Alvarez deal?

I don't understand.

Just 3 weeks remaining to Transfer deadline.

Now that Barca sold Ferran (our only remaining striker) to PSG.

I expect the hunt for stiker for us to become more difficult and frustrating.

Every club we approach now will bill us expensively because they know we are in a handicapped situation already and our options are very few.

I just hope all this waiting for Alvarez does not turn to another ridicule like that of Bilbao's Nico.

70 years old man!!! Mumu man.

I don't expect guys to still be falling into this Facebook trap in 2026.

Though I understand say once Kongi don hold man, some will fall into any gutter if the girl say that's what her love wants.

Kilishihunter:
abduleez1 your goat is gone for just 50m

We usually sell cheap and buy expensive.

Chelsea wants to sell Enzo for 120m,
Man City wants nothing less than 80m for Rodri but we sell the Almighty World Cup striker for 50m with abeg sef.

Kilishihunter:
We can't go into next season without a striker. No one is that prolific in our team, It would be difficult now that we're losing ferran. We have to sign a striker, cancelo and a CB to replace araujo. 70m with add ons should be our final offer even though we run the risk of backlash after vardrid pulled out

Have you thought about "False 9" option if striker becomes unattainable for us. Players like Yamal, Olmo, Fermin, Gordon, Tunkara have been touted to place as "False 9".

The only way this can work is if all the known opposition candidates can drop from the race and unite to push a relatively unknown independent Presidential candidate with a detailed manifesto which will address each of their major individual ideas to contest against Tinubu.

As for these Atiku, Obi, Hashim, Makinde, Sowore etc. None of them will drop for another. Each wants to be President. Don't forget that each of them have his own baggages. Just like Tinubu himself. None of them is a Saint, all of them are the same.

I hate that this is the constant excuse in this forum. If you people think poverty is hard, try failing health while at it. You will realize quick that fitness is the cheaper option. I guess many subconsciously want to commit suicide but hope that nature does it for them instead.

I created a topic regarding the price for medical checkups. I will bump it after responding to comments here.

I'm sorry if my post offends you. However not everybody is buoyant to afford some things you think are cheap.

Though I've not seen those lists you posted online but I don't see what is wrong if I plead that Government can help its citizens in poverty to make some medical checkups free for all.

Again I'm sorry if you are offended. But fingers no equal.

Medical checkup Na free?

Truly Medical checkup is very good to do periodically but maybe you don't know that majority of people is battling with survival problems. Especially money and food.

So the primary problem in a poverty setting like ours is to eat and survive, then look for remedies or treatment to whatever health issues as they come up.

Only people wey don chop and have money dey check far in the front. To many na live today first, then face whatever comes tomorrow.

Let the Government please help us. Make tests and checkups free even if treatment cost money. Sapa too much. E no easy.

Una no serious. So this family feud still dey ground? Make una look for how to settle this nonsense.

Kilishihunter:
Liverpool won't sign him. He probably won't start sef but let's see if this move will enable us get a defender

In contrast to your point. I think Araujo is actually tailor-made for a club like Liverpool and the EPL with his aggressive defensive style.

Please Larpota should becareful with the finances o. We must not go back to another Barto-mess please.

Kilishihunter:
Flick has modified his style to a more possession style. Pep even became more direct in his last few seasons. One of the discussions that was presented to Rodri from us was that he'll fit our style better though vardrid needed him more. Pedri also has ball winning traits which made him fatigued so I don't know why he should struggle after probably the first few games. A DM will help us in transitions against counter attacks, we have missed this since busi

I wanted this Rodri move to actualize because our midfield will be at a higher level, with him, Pedri will move further up.

However I'm worried ahead for whenever FDJ comes back from injury, what will happen? I am afraid that having Rodri and FDJ could affect the developmental chemistry of players such as Bernal, Gavi and Olmo in that midfield.

FDJ or one of them will have to leave.

Casado should be packing his bags already.

Everybody says Barcelona is an emotional club but the club has won 106 trophies, same number as the ruthless, business efficient club Real Madrid.

Yes we might not be as business savvy as Real Madrid, I dont think we have all the information that goes along with hiring and selling a player to make a conclusion. First, hiring new player is inherently a big risk for clubs.

You need to consider adaptability, squad cohesion, all money spent + bonus + agent and family demands, registration and compliance with all government requirements. Lots of things involved as you can see. It is always cheaper to keep the players you already have if there performance is acceptable enough than signing a new one.

At the end of the day, clubs wants to remain financially healthy and take calculated risks based on their risk appetite. And signing players comes with lots of risks. It is like this in other fields as well not just football.

Yeah! I agree with your analysis to a very large extent. However, Do you think Barcelona as a club can or should settle for making Ferran our top striker?

Ferran is right to ask to be the top 9 and not a second fiddle. But should Barca place all faith on that? Knowing his antecedents in front of goal in the past? There and then comes in the emotional predicament.

If the club goes ahead to buy a new striker, Ferran will become unhappy to play sub and may not sign a renewal. He'll rather spend his last season and go away for free.

So let the club be decisive in this issue. Either Let him go and bear whatever costs and risks of new striker coming in or promote him to top strike with new contract and wages and bring in another player to play sub from outside or within (Pau Victor shouldn't have been sold but we have Abdekarim).

Ferran just doesn't want to wait till the club exhaust all their options and alternatives before coming back to him.

jpmoriarti:
I don't blame him. Scoring that winning goal in the WC final has changed his life completely.

Everyone still knows he is a fraud in terms of scoring goals / converting his chances but yet he scored the most important goal in the last 4 years of football

It is a contradiction because now everyone is forced to see him as a legend and now we're having this conversation. Prior to the world cup, not many would have cared if he stayed in Barcelona or not. Now, we are actually scared of Ferran Torres leaving Barcelona I don't even understand this at all.

Because he has his PR blowing his World cup final goal trumpets loud. And Barcelona being a very emotional club. He expects Barca to do its usual jamboree around picking and dropping players while praying for a miracle to fall and when all that fails. He know they'll come back and beg him to stay because he will be the only option.

If this story is true, then I will say that your husband married a side chick and made his destned-wife his side chick.

You don't really love the guy for better for worse. She did. She was ready to.do all she could to.help him without benefitting from the help, but you have the money but decided not to help.

For a lady to sell her iPhone and wig to raise money for a guy, while knowing he is already married shows she's committed to the relationship. You are just lucky to marry him earlier.

If he could change the hands of time, I bet he should rather have married her not you.

Whatever is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

Journalists who support oppositions also do ask embarrassing and stupid questions from anybody who doesn't support their choices.

So let everybody collect and eat breakfast.

AirBere:
Let's see. But if I were him, if I'm staying then there must be starter clause ooo.

Personally, I'll leave because e no easy.

And if he stays and renews his contract with Barca we will have to pay another 8m to City and increase his salary.

AirBere:
50m is too small for Ferran. He's worth at least 100m in today's market. If unknown players like Diamonde, Gordon are going for 80m and up, a world cup winner who actually scored the winning goal should be worth more.

Scoring in a world cup final is done by less than 1% of the world's population. Think about that.

Ferran is priceless. Assuming there's a price then he's worth at least 200m.

Now I get what you have been doing with sarcasm about Ferran recent praises.

Nonsense talk.
Misplaced priority everywhere. Please how does Abacha's manner of death affect us in 2026.

Death is death. No matter the way and manner the kpai come. It results at same venue or destination. " GONE ".

Let's talk about tomorrow. How do we get out of poverty.

So sfter all the news of Girona and Ajax. Ter Stegen still came back.

jpmoriarti:
Te doy la bienvenida a Barcelona Karim Adeyemi 🥳🥳🔥

But with the highline we play; will these speedsters like Gordon and Adeyemi have enough space available to spread their wings?

However any defence these two face at same time will be run ragged just hope we get a sharp 9 to make judicious use of their talents.

Tears of joy. E no easy to escape from poverty

It's a shame that Barca didn't seize the opportunity on Rodri immediately Busquets left.

He was an athletic version of Busi then and still is. He reads the game well, positions well, screens the opponents attack from his defenders.

Now that there's rumour of De Jong having a long lay-off injury. Isn’t it wise to ask if we could get him?

This Atletico really mean not to sell Alvarez to Barca o.

Knowing that Laporta's deadline is July end. They instructed Alvarez to resume for preseason on 10th August. So that no official deal will happen between now and then.
