jamboinglasgow Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 With Fabregas to follow shortly. The potential Barca team for next season is scarily good. Goalkeepers Victor Valdez Jose Pinto Defenders Carlos Puyol Gerard Pique Dani Alves Eric Abidal Maxwell Adriano Andreu Fontas Gabriel Milito Midfielders Xavi Hernandez Andres Iniesta Sergio Busquets Cesc Fabergas Javier Mascherano Seydou Keita Thiago Alacantra Forwards Lionel Messi David Villa Pedro Rodriguez Alexis Sanchez Bojan Krkic Ibraham Afellay Jeffren Suarez (though there seems to be strong rumours that he is off to Bolton) That would be devastating to any team. Though the Real Madrid team also looks very strong for next season, Jose is fine tuning his team so it will be a fantastic la liga season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 99% Roma with Enrique etc. Something about iBarcelona having a buy back fee which makes sense. Roma should be a real force next year.

Of course despite buying Bojan or any other top striker they will still have to play Totti up front every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yea last couple of seasons for the great man. He record is phenomenal. Think they signed heinze today and with angel they should be fairly solid. Be interesting to see where pastore ends up. I would guess Milan. Real have spent fairly big already. Surprised they got Sahin with the midfield they already have. One for the future i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Who have Real & Roma signed? Real - Fabio Coentrao, Hamit Altintop, Nuri Sahin, Jose Callehon, Raphael Varane not sure about Altintop. But Sahin and Coentrao will definatly improve them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexton Hardcastle Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Jose angel, Borellio, Lamella Are their main ones. Should add bojan, kameni or stekelenburg and heinze. More if they can't tie down de rossi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hes an ideal replacement for Scholes. Don't know why fergie hasn't made contact. Especially with all the shit about his father in laws death which looks like it will drive him out of Rome. Unless his love for the club sways him. And I'm sure totti will have a quiet word. 15-20 million is some buy if similar amounts are getting you Jordan Henderson/Stewart downing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney19 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well can safely say now the Cesc Fabregas deal is well and truely dead until atleast next season. Barca supposidly have opted to pay the deal for Sanchez in installments and are even struggling to figure out how to work it out theyre budget was I think 18 million for the season so no chance Fabregas will go now...

Of the 23 players I posted above in a squad, 13 of them came from Barca's youth system (though 2 of those at the age of 16 joined English clubs then came back (or could come back.) Barca have always made some big money signings to supplement their youth team. It still doesn't change the fact that in their first choice XI, (if Pedro is ahead of Sanchez) 8 of the 11 are from their youth system. Thiago Alacantra is one to look out for, looked great at the European under 21 championships and technically amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 The Sanchez deal depended on bojan leaving. So a chunk of that transfer will fund that. Pretty sure they had money set aside for cesc. He will go this season I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney19 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Not a chance now, they had a budget and they blew it there was rumours the sanchez deal was delayed through lack of funds, if a club is going to cut coloured pictures and getting rid of admin staff how can they afford 36 million Arsenal are holding out for, Arsenal have played a masterstroke at making Barca pay high odds for Cesc. If a player like Henderson can get a transfer of 20 million Arsenal have been more than right to make a club like Barca, who have basically broke all the rules in the art of profesionalism and tapping up scandels in the Fabregas saga. Im not that fussed if Cesc goes but Barca have went well down in my books for what theyre players and anyone assocaited with them have done regarding Fabregas.

He will go this season I would think. add in the ?24m they got last month from AC Milan from ZIbra (Zlatan Ibrahmiovic, sorry Football Ramble nickname there) and they do have money. Sanchez deal seems to be have been on going for a while so I doubt they would make so many bids for Cesc if they haven't had it all planned, Sandro Rossell is not seen as being a penny pincher for nothing.

Sexton Hardcastle Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Italian football is just 1 big con. No quality or entertainment whatsoever. Pretty true. Next season should be very competitive. Napoli are back being a force. Juve are beginning to spend more. Lazio, Roma and udinese are all showing signs of closing the gap at the top. Surprised sampdoria went down last year but it shows how open the league can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamtarts-1874 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Barcelona had a budget of 45 mil this season and that is not including money they get from transfers e.g Bojan, jeffren. Also Sandro rossell has stated barca could dip in to next seasons fund for fabregas. So it is quite possible they can sign sanchez and fabregas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney19 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Ill take that back yeah it was 45 million they had. I really cant see the deal happening now I still see Barca well and truely stumped for coin now the Sanchez deal is done. The thing is with Fabregas he wont even be a regular starter until Xavi(hes the oldest out of him and Iniesta?!) retires they wont change their system to get Cesc in I really cant see it and where will Sanchez play if both were signed? Fabregas will be a bench warmer whereas hes captain and first pick with The Arsenal. Im happy if he goes hes not commited and actually Arsenals record without him is quite outstanding. Fabregas is a fantastic player but his commitment to the shirt is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamtarts-1874 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Tbh Iam not a big fan of fabregas in the first place. He is a good player but not necessary atm as xavi could still play his role for a gd few years to come. Also barca should just keep that 30 odd million and bring through thiago alcantara as he looks a fantastic young player.

Barca would be better of signing a good back up centre half Could not agree more- they have an obsession with him but for me he isn't worth all this hassle, & he plays in a position they aren't exactly struggling in (include Thiago, his brother Rafa, 17, & Jonathan Dos Santos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm only making a point of how the media like to think of Barca as purely a team that's all about their youth when in reality they have pretty much done the same as most teams who are successful have done before them,promoted from within and bought big as well.The way it is portrayed in the media it's like that whole Barca team suddenly came through at once but the reality is they have all came in a different stages.

kearney19 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Pepe and his quotes like most of his squad with unproffesional comments or there minister saying "Arsenal are kidknapping Fabregas" So if Barca switched their system where would Sanchez fit in? Its not going to happen, Barca will have to stretch their money and even if they receive much money their still riddled in debt and have loans etc to pay back first on top of intrest before any bid of over 37 million will be considered for Arsenal who are in a very better financial situation than Barca through a fantastic money management and also having now the Emirates in Arsenals name... sure its this season its in Arsenals name. I hate Barca. Used to be a well run, respected club but how theyve did the Fabregas spin is a disgrace. Any proper football fan can see what theyre doing is both tapping up and against all good football professionalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamtarts-1874 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Roma have just signed Bojan for 13 mil and it looks like jeffren will probs go for around 7 mil so that gives barca an overall budget if 65 mil. The sanchez deal is only 26 mil to start with so that gives barca about 39 mil to spend on say fabregas and that's before potentially dipping into next years fund. Although as I previously said I hope they don't sign fabregas. As for barca changing the formation sanchez will still fit in on the right of a front three and fabregas in a midfield of four. Probably Abidal, puyol, pique at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross21 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 As Graham Hunter, Spanish football Journo, once tweeted me - Barca & Real have 'elastic banks' - effectively ran by banks & do what they want Don't see the fuss Barca make over this - he isn't all that!

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I think Sanchez and Fabregas (more so) will struggle to get in the first 11. Pedro has been brillant the last couple of seasons. However, the Barca squad will look much stronger if they were both to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I think Nasri will stay at Arsenal or move abroad. Looks like City have Aguero wrapped up. So much competition for places and i think if Inter are going to loose Sneijder, he would be a decent replacement. Unless they reckon Alvarez will do the job. Still plenty of time for the madness to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
