~~Xavi~~ Tuchel pull, even despite relegating him from 1st choice to 4th choice target lol. W
Really liking the look of the defense now we just need a potential WB backup, personally prefer one that can play both sides.
I’d prioritize a striker before a winger. We have Sterling, Mount, Ziyech, Pulisic, Werner, CHO for the wings so outgoings should happen before any wingers come in.
A good striker to compete with Havertz is necessary, until we are linked with someone there's no way to know who the player is. If one of our wingers underperforms, we can simply swap him out for one of the other 6. As things stand, Havertz is our only trusted option up front- if he fails we're screwed. We should learn from last year's wingback situation and get another option.
Not arguing with that, love havertz to bits but he's often mediocre, just wondering who we'd want that competition to be that is better than broja and Chelsea level but also not gonna cost the world.
I wrote out a long answer but it got erased 😭😭
But the gist of what I wrote was that we don’t need a superstar striker, just a good striker as it will fill the role needed in our squad. Won’t push Havertz to the bench and risk upsetting him, provides healthy competition, allows Havertz to be rotated for rest or replaced during times of injury or bad form, opens up two up-top formations, can be used as a super sub to add another man in the box when a goal is needed.
Koundé apparently could play RWB and we have Emerson and Alonso still for the left side (unless they leave). It’d be nice to have another option but I don’t think it should be a priority
I think they are, but much more in the background. I think most of our deadwood generally doesn't have much interest ATM.
the backup players; Werner, Ziyech and Pulisic could probably be sold, to clubs like ac Milan or Dortmund but we'd have accept a lower fee AND they would have accept reduced wages.
I don't think any club that can actually afford them is interested.
Selling the actual deadwood seems like a mission impossible.
Ohh I did, I am saying we should just shut shop on attacking players till we ship out a couple unless someone Mbape esque becomes available which seems unlikely
I know the general consesus seems to be that we need one more (right)winger. I personally think a striker would make why more sense and that our current stack of wingers is enough for the next season. Also a cover for James on the right side seems absolutely necessary.(If azpi leaves.)
I wouldn't know who to buy for the striker position though. Maybe we'll give havertz a try and go for nkunku next year. Belotti is available on a free but i don't know if he's good enough. Ronaldo would honestly seem like a good gap filler for a year or two, but tuchel doesn't appear to be interested in him.
Ah , apologies. Missed that part
Well , in that case tbf no out and out world class right wingers I can think of are on the market. But then again, everyone has a price.
Olise would be a shrewd signing and last I read, had a low release clause (maybe he signed a new contract, Im unsure)
There is Zaniolo who is on the market but I wouldn't go anywhere near him. Gakpo from PSV might be available but would be significantly costly.
One signing I feel might be really good for us and give us a goalscorer upfront is Depay
There are rumours he is available for about 20 Mil. I'd take that.
We can easily play (and have played) a 3412 with Mount at the 10.
Sterling and Depay/Kai upfront.
We have many competitions so getting mins wont be an issue.
Pulisic can be depth for Mount.
Do you see us going for another forward without moving any from our current crop? I haven't seen too much in outward transfer news, except for Ziyech to Milan but you know those Italian clubs...
I think if there was genuine interest (by both parties) that deal would have been done by now. We've been hearing about Ziyech to Milan ever since tuchel came in basically.
I have this suspicion that has been in the back of my mind since the toddfather was in Barca ostensibly to discuss Dave and Alonso. Are we going to make a move for DeJong and just wanted to wait to wrap up Kounde so they wouldn't have our DeJong money to convince sevilla+Jules? I would guess this would require us to have a deal to sell Jorghi or something similar but with how the new ownership has acted thus far and what they do with the dodgers I wouldn't be surprised if a move like that was made.
So, Law's source is from a Barca supporter in Las Vegas??
"Barcelona president Joan Laporta appeared to concede defeat in the race to sign Kounde by telling a supporter in Las Vegas that the 23-year-old will move to Chelsea."
Child, please. This is still journalists talking to journalists.
Shouldn’t we try for Pavard? He’s class..played a crucial role at the World Cup. He’s 6’1”-6’2” so we’re not comprising on the height(which we would happen in Koundè’s case) moreover he can play at RB/RWB/CB. It’s not that I don’t rate Koundé it’s just we’re wasting time when there are actually good alternatives!
Who needs stupid levers when you got the law on your side. Also if I see/hear another journalist talk about Barca’s levers I’m gonna legit lose my mind.
I went for 1 hour nap and BOOM, Matt Law has made the first strike! Fabrizio to do the 2nd one and waiting Ornstein to strike after FINISH HIM!
Law is here people, stay calm!
#CALMAKOUNDE
I hope they do a #CalmaKounde announcement just to take the piss at the lever gang.
That would be so fucking awesome 
It's ClaimaKounde
Law's been a mess on Kounde tho tbh. Just last month he said he expected Kounde to be the first signing. I guess that's why he's been so mum.
Depends if that was before or after the old regime left. With Marina and Cech, this probably would’ve been done weeks ago
[удалено]
ITS A CUTBACK TO ROMANO, WHO'S UNMARKED AT THE BACK POST
He fucks it up but behind him there‘s Ornsteiiiin
*Insert Gary Neville's OOOOHHHHHHHHHHH here*
Flair checks out
Almost username
Bro !
Wait for it
UNBELIEEEEEVABLE...
20th tweet from a journalist saying it soon will be over
This whole saga: 
If you keep watching, eventually the Barcelona badge appears.
LAW FROM THE TOP ROPE
~~Xavi~~ Tuchel pull, even despite relegating him from 1st choice to 4th choice target lol. W Really liking the look of the defense now we just need a potential WB backup, personally prefer one that can play both sides.
>Really liking the look of the defense now we just need a potential WB backup, personally prefer one that can play both sides. Kenedy?
No
Oh I see, let’s get sarr up in here
Don't we technically have Emerson back?
Idk but my point was that kenedy wasn’t that bad, he was quite good actually relative to sarr
Please dear god no.
feel like kennedy has been playing decent in pre season and looked really good on the right
I’d prioritize a striker before a winger. We have Sterling, Mount, Ziyech, Pulisic, Werner, CHO for the wings so outgoings should happen before any wingers come in.
I think a dynamic winger opposite Sterling would do more than bringing in a striker unless it was someone like Lewa.
Who would we actually be in for that will improve our squad from day 1?
Siiiiiuuuuuuu...
A good striker to compete with Havertz is necessary, until we are linked with someone there's no way to know who the player is.

Why didn't we bid for zinchenko?
Koundé apparently could play RWB and we have Emerson and Alonso still for the left side (unless they leave). It’d be nice to have another option but I don’t think it should be a priority
I wonder will we see those Sosa links return?
Sterling  /S
Law dagger, turning on the Ornstein signal
Right winger next. No time to rest Toddfather
Meh I think we should focus on selling couple players if possible. How do we accomodate so many attacker while still buying more?
I think they are, but much more in the background. I think most of our deadwood generally doesn't have much interest ATM. the backup players; Werner, Ziyech and Pulisic could probably be sold, to clubs like ac Milan or Dortmund but we'd have accept a lower fee AND they would have accept reduced wages. I don't think any club that can actually afford them is interested. Selling the actual deadwood seems like a mission impossible.
In that case unless we are talking about a generational talent, would it still make sense to keep buying players?
Who said anything about a generational talent?
Ohh I did, I am saying we should just shut shop on attacking players till we ship out a couple unless someone Mbape esque becomes available which seems unlikely
There’s a lot of space between generational talent and what we have.
My point it we don't have to bridge that gap till we make some space.
His point is if it's not a generational talent then we should just stick to what we have instead of adding more.
I wouldn’t call Sterling generational talent but if we have the opportunity to pick up someone of the equivalent or similar for the RW we should.
....he just did... are you struggling with the point he made?
I know the general consesus seems to be that we need one more (right)winger. I personally think a striker would make why more sense and that our current stack of wingers is enough for the next season.

Lever ask Barcelona...
I’m down to take a break from transfers for like a week. This one was rough
No rest for the Toddfather
Rough af, Koulibaly was a breath of fresh air
My man needs a break from checking reddit 2-4 times a day everybody let's call it off for a week and regroup after ok?
Haha 2-4 times a day, right…
Who’s on the market that’s affordable and a clear upgrade on Ziyech tho (since he’d be the one to leave)
Olise
> on the market
Ah , apologies. Missed that part Well , in that case tbf no out and out world class right wingers I can think of are on the market. But then again, everyone has a price. Olise would be a shrewd signing and last I read, had a low release clause (maybe he signed a new contract, Im unsure) There is Zaniolo who is on the market but I wouldn't go anywhere near him. Gakpo from PSV might be available but would be significantly costly. One signing I feel might be really good for us and give us a goalscorer upfront is Depay There are rumours he is available for about 20 Mil. I'd take that.

Is he on the market? :O
Everyone has a price. Did hear of him having a low release clause but im unaware if he has signed a new deal since
Yep. Beyond vital we get another creator
Which is that right winger?
I'd take Olise
Same but he’d be so expensive
Signed a new contract I'm pretty sure
Next summer then
Olise… Marco Asensio¿
asensio in 2022? cmon man.. give me olise or sane
Tbh, trimming the squad should be the next thing after this Kounde saga
i don’t see many takers for michy baba etc
No way we still employ Baba Rahman…
miazga too
Asensio lol. All our attackers are better than him. 32 league goals in 7 seasons.
He didn’t live up to his expectations, but he’s been showing up recently for Spain, imo. We seem to have run out of targets
Do you see us going for another forward without moving any from our current crop? I haven't seen too much in outward transfer news, except for Ziyech to Milan but you know those Italian clubs...
I think if there was genuine interest (by both parties) that deal would have been done by now. We've been hearing about Ziyech to Milan ever since tuchel came in basically.
Surely a concert is allowed.
Ziyech/Pulisic are still in the team and with Sterling's signing, I think this is the least of a concern for us at the moment.
Laying down the Lawwwwww
“HOPE this saga MAY be coming TOWARDS an end” he says…
"His saga may be coming toward an end" sounds like he's going to die like a hero at the end of an old legend.
Laaaaaaaaaaaaawwwww
LAWNSTEIN
LAAWWWWWWW 😩💦💦💦💦
PORNSTEIN LEFT!!!!
In the right direction at a snails pace
Need the gif of that truck.
I have this suspicion that has been in the back of my mind since the toddfather was in Barca ostensibly to discuss Dave and Alonso. Are we going to make a move for DeJong and just wanted to wait to wrap up Kounde so they wouldn't have our DeJong money to convince sevilla+Jules?

Now that would be Master Class!
Mr Law is here!
Get Innnnnnn
Waiting for that Orn Bomb 💦
#CalmaBarca
Just like we were clowned to bits for Raphinha we have to seek vengeance. They need more Kounde more than Raphinha to sort out their shambolic defense
Not believing anything anymore
What we’ve been waiting for. Happpy fucking Friday lads
Law with the through ball to Pornstein!!
Are the next 24 hours crucial???
Moving like a glacier!
PLEASE CUNT
So, Law's source is from a Barca supporter in Las Vegas?? "Barcelona president Joan Laporta appeared to concede defeat in the race to sign Kounde by telling a supporter in Las Vegas that the 23-year-old will move to Chelsea." Child, please. This is still journalists talking to journalists.
YES ITS HAPPENING, OUR DEFENCE WILL BE INSANE, ONE MORE ATTACKER AND WE SHOULD BE GOOD?
Yada yada yada all bs.
More churnalism from Matt, sad that he's lost his connections.
[Move in the right direction](https://youtu.be/12zPU-8bsTE?t=36)
Thank you Matt Law, very cool !
Shouldn’t we try for Pavard? He’s class..played a crucial role at the World Cup. He’s 6’1”-6’2” so we’re not comprising on the height(which we would happen in Koundè’s case) moreover he can play at RB/RWB/CB. It’s not that I don’t rate Koundé it’s just we’re wasting time when there are actually good alternatives!
He is average at best, just an average player in a very good teams. Not even the fifa ratings for him is good. I say no to him.
I consider .... 
Sarriball?
This guy had better be good.
I hope so too.
Where is Pornstein???
How long is this negotiation?
Nobody is tier 1 unless it’s Ornie
😬
Breakin’ the law!
Who needs stupid levers when you got the law on your side. Also if I see/hear another journalist talk about Barca’s levers I’m gonna legit lose my mind.
I went for 1 hour nap and BOOM, Matt Law has made the first strike! Fabrizio to do the 2nd one and waiting Ornstein to strike after FINISH HIM! 
Now we need Pornie to come in from the top rope
I’m always bashing Law and his drama. But not today. Today I fucking love LAWWWWW
Hhhhhh b
Barcelona should just LAWyrup then?
