Bayern no serious

@pharukdagreat It's not that simple tho. We've literally been playing without him but with a somewhat unfit Pedri and Bernal getting his first extended run of games. We've been short in the mf department.

turns out the sideways passes and ball circulation matters

For war wey I no even fight. Toh

I hate these ESPN commentators man. They are sooooo biased bro.

@misteryman1980 @neebolt First. AI slop. Second, shouldn't that case also work for players who have played largely in the serie A? Also the basis of your argument is a sample size of 4 players? You're telling me Pirlo will struggle at Barca? Or Maldini? Or Totti?

@dynamozes @neebolt

The most BARCA should spend on Bastoni is 65 -70m euros. Anything after that is overpriced

@neebolt Oh lmao that one? I'll take too Sha but not for that price. Not for what he's done this season.

@dynamozes vdv; van de ven not vvd.

@misteryman1980 @neebolt We've literally only signed like 3 or so Italians. Motta and Zambrotta are the only two high profile Italians in our team and they had good years with us. Motta was good for us baring injuries. How many Nigerians have succeeded for us, will you discard Osimhen cos of that?

@dynamozes @neebolt Do you really think that a guy who never played well in a back four, who isn't known for his speed or character, and who comes from a culture completely opposite to Barça's, is going to adapt to that style at 27 years old? No italian player succeeded in Barsa, ever! And Baston...

@neebolt I'll 100% take VVD for 50m over Bastoni. But you know that's not happening. He's Liverpool's captain. They won't lose Salah and then him.

@dynamozes if vdv is on the market for less than bastoni, we should take him. do we have 150 euros for this window? without departures too? cos wages cap too. man. 🤧

@neebolt All this is dependent on 1:1. Get rid of Ferran Torres, Rashford wages off the books, sell Casado, sell Araujo. Those three even at €30m each (which is doable) still get you 90m. You just need to spend 60m and you're good. Get rid of Stegen too.

@misteryman1980 @neebolt Inigo Martinez was all this except quick and he succeeded. Araujo is all this except intelligent and he's not been good. Bastoni is all this except maybe not as quick as Araujo and you think he'll not succeed? Okay, "pal". Gerard Martin is currently succeeding but Bastoni can't?

@dynamozes @neebolt If you can't accept reality, that's your problem,pal. You're showing you know absolutely nothing about Barcelona's culture. Barça is the worst place for a defender cos U gotta play 40 metres from the goalkeeper. The center-back needs to be ice-cold, tough, intelligent, and quick

@neebolt Fair, and I agree. I'm just leaning towards a Bastoni or even a Schlotterbeck for €60-70m and then a ST for €40, especially if Lewy stays, and then throw in a winger like Munoz or Schjelderup for €30m and a fullback like Cancelo for below €10m. Thats €150m and a great window

@dynamozes we need a balance tbh. i really don't mind whoever comes; we just need good deals for both a CB and a ST.

@misteryman1980 @neebolt Of the three names you called only Schlotterbeck is near Bastoni's levels. And even still he falls short. Your last statement proves I cannot have a reasonable conversation with you if you'll be willing to throw sound bites like that

@dynamozes @neebolt Bastoni is overrated as today´s every single italian player. Koulierakis, Ndiack. Senesi, Schlotterbeck are better and cheaper options. Bastoni is unable to defend 40 metres away the goalkeeper. He´s a flop

@neebolt Lmao fair but UCL isn't

@dynamozes serie A is washed pls💀

@neebolt I'll rather we go out for a striker if this was last year when the striker market was good. Now it's either Asslani for 30 or 150 for Alvarez or Kane. I'll rather 70 for Bastoni and 40 for Asslani for 110 combined than 150 just on a striker Unless you have good striker prospects

@dynamozes exactly why they should go all out for a striker. there'd be other low-cost options because inter is NEVER going to give us a good deal on bastoni.

@neebolt Also, nah I don't think we can compare Koundes last season with Bastoni. Bastoni has been serie A defender of the year for 2 straight seasons. He's entered Serie A TOTY 3 straight times and UCL team of the season 2 times leading his team to 2 UCL finals. Not the same levels

@dynamozes i'd rather we focus on getting a striker for that price instead. and it's hard not to think of it through our finances o, we just escaped😭. kounde's last season at sevilla was peak(conceded least goals in ll); arguably, you can stick it side-by-side with bastoni's best season.

For context. We paid 55m for Kounde.

@neebolt For a World Class CB? It's tough but I'll accept it. Don't think of it through the lens of our finances. We paid 55 for Kounde who wasn't even as good as Bastoni. 15 more is not bad.

@dynamozes even that 70 gaan.

@Alsonn___ How is that overpriced? That's like 60m pounds. Maguire went for 80m years ago. VVD went for 75m pounds from Southampton. Dean Hujsen went for 50m and he wasn't in his prime.

@dynamozes Even that is overpriced
