Dani Olmo

[Blue Bogey]

The first 2 are fucked already from being overplayed too young and they'll move Heaven and Earth to keep Yamal.

What they have levers for that as well to sell.

Every single piece of Barca being sold off.

What happens when theres nothing left to sell off?

Barcelona wont own any aspect of their own club.

They will be sold back to them at knock down prices for them to sell again.

[Haaland94]

They only have till the end of tomorrow, right? If so, we should be all over this.

 

[Kippax Kidd]

It's all finally caught up with Barca . . fantastic

Isn't that player Oscar Bobb? There is plenty of talk about the lack of minutes mcatee has seen so far and that's despite not having kdb available for most of it, Bobb for all of it, foden missing large parts, amongst others. If we get some of those back and available where's the room for another?

I do believe we need a striker, from the second Alvarez was rumoured to be off I was vocal about needing one, i've always said the false 9 isn't viable in this squad but right now theres too many higher priorities and we have to be realistic about what we can do in January, widespread change isn't possible in a month. If txiki does his job and gets us what we need elsewhere, i can only see a forward coming in if we are to offload an attacking player to balance it out. But then who is that going to be? Haaland, kdb, foden, savinho, doku, bobb are all untouchable for one reason or another, there's only really grealish that's expendable but nobody is giving us a fee for him so he's going nowhere either.

Bobb is a promising kid. May well turn out to be a diamond. Maybe the next Cole Palmer (leaves and becomes a star). Maybe he doesnt fulfil his potential. Time will tell. Im also not sure he can be back up to Haaland. So to answer your question, no I don't think he is (as useful as he may well turn out to be).

Mcatee has been treated pretty poorly for me. Deserved many more minutes up to this point. I dont think he can be back up to Haaland either though.

We need someone who can take some of the pressure from Halland. If they (Cunha for example) can also play AM/SS/Winger then they would be very useful imo… Haaland gets some deserved grief on here, but if he goes down with an injury we have no goals in the team. A huge unnecessary risk we should not be taking…..

I presume they do actually have until tomorrow midnight to sort? And if they don’t, Olmo is free to do as he pleases as 00:01am on January 1st?

If so, I hope the meeting with his agent recently at the Everton game tied up any loose ends.

Barcelona will pull some lever to make it happen! They had to have a player injured to get him registered at beginning of the season!

So more scrambling for cash down the back of the sofa.

I actually agree with most of what you're saying and ordinarily that should be the priority but we've been so bad and so poorly prepared by Txiki and Pep that what should be a top priority in any normal window is now way down the list. Unless we get the opportunity to offload somebody this window, I feel a backup striker will have to wait as we look for a starting midfielder and some fit defenders as the immediate top priority.
