@Mhoni_Hiyst Doubt we will ever get to that level. The mediocrity when it comes to player sales has been the same for the club for as long as ever.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@NotSteven01 You'd expect that to be the case but wait until the season starts and watch Flick run him to the ground. Flick hasn't shown ability to do without Pedri's profile.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@Mhoni_Hiyst I share similar sentiments. Not signing Pedri means we'd potentially run him to the ground before we get to the decisive phase of the season. And then we wonder why we can't compete in the UCL.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@BouafifNour I think we should have found a way to make the deal happen. I don't want to see Pedri and Lamine run to the ground before March/April during the decisive phases of the season. Would have been a decent backup for both.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@fiaz1899 Exactly! Not sure why folks seem to be cool with possibly missing out on his signing. A versatile player that's capable of sufficiently replacing Pedri without noticeable drop in quality and can deputize for Lamine as well. Another season of running Pedri to the ground incoming.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@ReshadRahman @Og_papil0 I guess it's almost over if the player is unwilling to cause chaos to force the move. Guess he doesn't want the move as much, so we are better off looking at alternatives now that there's still time.

How would you rank the last four World Cups from best to worst ?

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@MagicalXavi If the player decides he wants to leave, I don't think Bayern would have a choice. It would only probably cost Madrid more than the €150m.

[Islam Bouafif 🇹🇳🇵🇸 @BouafifNour]

What do you think the club should do with Balde:

1⃣Sell him
2⃣Keep him as a backup and sign another left-back
3⃣Keep him as the starter

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@FCBarcelona How can you not love him already!

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@WahabStatsHub What makes you think PSG will sell Kvaratskhelia for any price let alone €130m, even if the player was willing to leave? You forget how PSG refused to let Verratti go despite the player wanting out. Chasing Kvara would be a lost cause.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

Bernardo without any shadow of doubt.

[Islam Bouafif 🇹🇳🇵🇸 @BouafifNour]

If you had to choose between the two, who would you rather Barça sign: Bernardo Silva or Marcus Rashford?

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@abosalaharena Haaland's salary will not only disrupt but completely destroy our wage structure. That's not what we want for a club just managing to return to normalcy.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@abosalaharena Has he been confirmed as part of Flick's backroom staff? There's been no news to that effect.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@abosalaharena It's not been confirmed that Ter Stegen would indeed leave (I'm hoping he does). Knowing how he's been insistent on staying in Spain and particularly in Barcelona, let's see how the summer transfer window pans out in his case.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@BarcaTimes Sign Bernardo obviously.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

False if he's on decent and manageable wages. A versatile profile that would be very useful to the team.

[Barça Universal @BarcaUniversal]

🚨 True or False: Bernardo Silva for free would be a luxury reinforcement for this Barça side.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

Very insightful thread.

[Saif @Saif_tfp]

I'll be upfront. Anthony Gordon wasn't my preferred profile. I wanted a high-volume dribbler and scorer, someone who could take some of the creative load off Lamine and Pedri, not add to it.

But the deal is done. So let's look at what Barcelona actually signed.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@MrWills96 He won't find that much space to run into in La Liga. Most teams play a very low block against Barça.

[Chukzee @Chukzee_]

@kevvwill Would like to know your take on his signing. I would have preferred a creative 1v1 specialist who can ease Lamine of the creative burden/responsibility. Not sure how Gordon will perform without space to run into.
