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?

Mcleo007:
He would cost in the region of 100m at the moment. City wouln't even consider selling him.

UncleHaba22:
I am really happy seeing that flick and Dejong relationship is broken
And Dejong is trying to force a move
That's a blessing in disguise for Barca
Only if they for a DM


Only a DM will make dat midfield work again
CM is not Barca's problem

jpmoriarti:
Where did you get the news of a breakdown in the relationship between Flick and FdJ. Only thing I have heard about the Dutch is that his knee is wrecked and he could be out until December.

Of course, if we can buy someone like Rodri, that would be so good.

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

Awesome01:
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.

Yeah we need to get better striker than can score all the goals these speedsters will generate. I heard that Ferran Torres is sulking that we are trying to sign a new striker. He feels he should be the starter.

Of course, why shouldn't he feel so? Afterall he is the hero of world cup. He scored the most important goal in 2026 World Cup. He must be brimming with lots of confidence but we have seen enough to know we must get a proper striker to compete with him. Because we all know how the cookie crumbles especially with Ferran Torres

I also like the idea that we're interested in bringing Ayemric Laporte from Saudi. If we can get him, I believe it will be a good deal, as it is obvious our young Curbarsi produced his best performance with a veteran beside him.

Mcleo007:
I don’t see the club selling him at all, and even if they eventually decide to, he’s not going for cheap. The guy just signed an extension, so any buyer will have to drop serious money before Barca even thinks about it.

Also, isnt Laporte in Spain now with Athletic club? Heard his release clause is somewhere in the region of 15m.

jpmoriarti:
I don't think Ferran will leave Barca. I hear he enjoys a good relationship with Pedri. So, on a personal level, I am not sure he will want a move away from his best friend.

But of course, being the person who scored the most important goal in the world cup, he must be brimming with lots of confidence and it has more than tripled his market value. But I don't think Barcelona will sell him in any case.

Mcleo007:
My thoughts exactly. The guy is clearly settled at the club, and that comfort alone does wonders for a player’s confidence. Add the boost he got from winning the World Cup, and you can easily see how that energy might transform his performances this season. Sometimes all a player needs is stability and belief, and right now he has both. If he builds on that momentum, we might finally see the version of him everyone has been waiting for.

jpmoriarti:
Definitely bro. Momentum and confidence is so much essential for all these top players. Afterall they are all already good players to be able to play at this level but you will always need that essential push to be able to reach your full potential.

And how ironic its been, after all the struggles and mockery from fans and critics. Even AirBere here compared him to Igor Thiago, who is playing in a small club in EPL and said he would prefer the Brazilian. Now who's having a laugh?

However, he needs to build on this momentum and new found confidence

AirBere:

I'm flexible nah lol. After wining the world cup as a key player, I consider him and all the winners better than Pendu. Barca should give him the #9 shirt and make him the highest paid player.

jpmoriarti:
Yes you're flexible but it doesn't erase the fact that everyone mocked the hell out of Ferran Torres. Of course, he will still miss big chances every now and then. He's human of course. But I love that football gods chose to reward him at the grandest stage of them all.

He should be our highest paid player? Absolutely not but he will return to the Barcelona team a much bigger player and he will remain a Spanish hero for the rest of his life.

jpmoriarti:
I think you’re correct with DeJong and the questions being asked about his commitment and how he’s handled himself with all these injuries 😬😬

The Dutch man released a statement to defend himself from these allegations

Haters don't mind how Barcelona raise their kids. When these boys now turn to Messi, they will start hating.

AirBere:

Ferran is one of the greatest strikers of all time. You don't score and win the world cup by luck. Yes, i now consider him better than Igor Thiago and PR Cavani aka ogunmepon.

Kid looking like the smallest kid on the pitch yet he's the most talented and also a physical monster
