Players who might improve us

Wonder if their financial situation would tempt Barca to sell Fati.

I was thinking about Barca's worthwhile assets when I saw the €128m loss and that it would have been €190m without the Artur/Pjanic trade. The problem is the only players they have that anyone would really want are Pedri, Puig, Messi, Fati & de Jong.

I wonder if they could be strong-armed into a similar swap, but the only one we could really do is Rodri for Frenkie de Jong.

I really like Rodri, but if there's one player in the world I'd swap him for, it's de Jong. His main reason for moving to Barca was Messi, and while he's doing really well now under Koeman...the new board are likely going to fire Koeman at the end of the season anyway.

I'm sure De Jong's on 300-400k a week. Ridiculous money off of one good season at Ajax. Always thought he was a bit soft round the whiskers as well.
 
Zinny has impressed me. He may not be flashy but he does his job and allows others around him (Foden, Gundogan) to do all that. I would rather spend extra on a DM and Striker. Zinny first choice and Ake, Laporte second choice with Cancelo being able to play there when required.

With Laporte in there, Cancelo can push even further up the field with us playing a back 3 in possession. Stones will cover the right and Ruben will dictate the other 2 in terms of movement and marking. The important thing would be to not lose possession on the right cheaply.
