I thought Barca have a transfer ban?

 

[Kimchi Papi]

The theory is they'd do what Bayern did with Gotze & Lewe where they would have Pogba play out the remainder of the year & then come to Camp Nou. It's been said that Barca hired Ariedo Braida in part because of his ability to try & secure Pogba...

 

[QU!K]

How Barca sign so many players during this transfer ban its ******* bull

 

[lucho]

Barca can negotiate and agree with players, they just can't actually sign anyone during the ban. 

 

[QU!K]

What about Suarez, Vermerlen, ter stegen etc?

 

[AZwildcats]

Has Vermaaalen even played for Barca?

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Reports from someUK & Madrid press are saying DdG has told Madrid he will join the club...

 

[rolaholic]

I thought he said he didn't want to join with Casillas still there and hasn't Carlo been talking up Casillas being back next year? Hope it's not true, the move is expected eventually but I didnt expect it this early

 

[tpfltxl]

What about Suarez, Vermerlen, ter stegen etc?

Those moves were made before the ban started

Has Vermaaalen even played for Barca?

Nope

Can't wait to watch Barca vs Valencia Sat morning. Los Che have been a real treat to watch this campaign. They're on a 10 game unbeaten streak heading into the game at Camp Nou. Huge game for both teams.

Catalan sports paper Sport is reporting Juve have turned down an initial £50 mill offer for Pogba. The paper also said Pogba prefers to go to Barca (taken with grain of salt of course).

I'd be hugely surprised if this happens...

Don't be surprised, I told you this like 3 weeks ago Bro.

Real still have a chance with Zidane behind the scenes but after what Pogba's agent said - I think Barça have the bigger shot now.

So who goes to the bench if barca get Pogba?

Iniesta is getting up there with age so he'd be the replacement, Rakatic would probably be a super sub while Pogba starts.

If he's goes to Madrid, it'd be even more of climb up the ladder with Modric, Kroos, James, and Isco.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Again given the source is coming from the Catalan press, you have to take it with a grain of salt, but they're saying Pogba wants to only go to Barca if he goes anywhere at all.

Pogba, Rakitic, and Busquets in the middle. Damb.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I remember @abovelegit1 poo poo'd my mentioning Gerry had ego problems being the reason he hasn't enjoyed greater success. Things aren't going well for him at Sevilla. He's only made 10 Liga appearances & 3 EL appearances. He was dropped for the game against Zenit.

Jerry tweeted saying, "What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger."

Sevilla coach Unai Emery replied saying, "You can have the wood of a champion, but you have to shape that wood with effort, work and humility."

I think Sergi Samper has a real future, but if Pogba comes the club it will affect his chances of playing with the first team. He really reminds me of Pep when he played.

^ such a waste that he is like that. Kid has it to be a good striker.

He really reminds me of Pep when he played.

Would it though? I see him more in line for the pivot behind Busquets. I would think Rafinha would be the most affected. 

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Samper is a pivot, but I think if Pogba comes, there's less chance the club will promote from the B squad (at least I think). I think Samper has a big future.

Sergio is only 26 b, he's gunna hold down the spot for years to come.

Gerard needs to go back to Everton

I think Samper has the bigger upside. Unlike Sergio, Samper is more adept at penetrating with a great pass or his dribble into the opposition. The only thing he hasn't proven yet is if he's able to handle the defensive roles consistently on a larger stage. It's actually fun watching this kid play the pivot.

no way jones should be at united next yr.. completely made of glass man

i wasn't going on sources weeks ago, I was just going on logic after what Pogba's agent said about Real Madrid.

Barcelona makes tons of sense, to me they were always a valid option. You'll be sooo excited tho

 

[rolaholic]

Don't think I'd have the stomach for Pogba to Barca :x
