Dani Olmo

[Summerbuzz]

Surely there is no chance Leipzig sanction this. Not convinced there is any truth regardless given the source

Dunno. They've brought in Xavi Simons, Carvahlo and Christoph Baumgartner.

 

[Blueroses]

This might be happening. We need creative players apart from Paqueta and Doku. Squad is light with 60+ games to be played.

 

[applejuice]

I watched a lot of Spain national team and none of Spanish attacking players really impressed me at all in the past one year. olmo included. 40M to add squad deepth, meh, maybe. 100M? ....big no ..

It seems if something like this happens it would be Paqueta, Doku and Olmo?

Pino is the only one i'd take a punt on this window.

 

[dhruvblue]

Even with 60 games there is no place for everyone in squad. Non starter.

 

[dhruvblue]

What an utterly pointless rumour from Di Marzio

Hey will help people fill pages here and justify another £100m signing

Yeah he has some potential. Olmo is really too average and bad injury history. Barca even did not try to buy him back.

Hahaha

Di marzio a chancer, knows nothing really.

Paquet Dolmio

Very few of them do

I'm convinced the people calling him not good enough haven't watched a minute of him. Even when we thumped Leipzig at the Etihad last year when he came on he was an IMMEDIATE and evident upgrade for them even if the bar was low on the night.

I must admit I don't recall him in the match . When I've seen him for Spain I thought he was pretty decent.
Why was he a substitute though? Was he nursing an injury?

Lets be honest, that was a Haaland show

Yeah. He was injured for the majority of last season IIRC.

recurring torn muscle fibre, had it 3 times in the last 2 seasons. missed 20+ games or so.

People who call him not good enough have their right to an opinion, but it's genuinely not on that I share.

IIRC he was in the Zagreb team that we played a few seasons ago, as well as being in the Leipzig teams that we faced over the past few years, and he's been one of the most dangerous opposition players on every occasion.

The plus side with him is that he can also give some much needed competition to Jack if Phil is to move into the middle during KDB's absence (he's also a first choice Spanish international, lest I remind those who aren't aware).

Great player, doesn't - seemingly in any case - have an overwhelming desire to play for Madrid / Barça as he's played all of his first team career abroad. Would be a phenomenal signing for anyone.
