We should go for Gavi then.
Ronald Araújo

Haha seriously. Make them both 9M, who cares! Its desperate times here.
so overrated
Barsa's financial troubles are nogt going away. We should be all over this guy, Big upgrade over Maguire for not a lot of money
Rio Ferdinand rates him. Mentioned him on his podcast as a potential signing.
I don't know the player but we should go for these kind of players, a bit under the radar, potential, not expensive
He once rated Blackett.....
I hazard a guess that Rio hasn't watched enough of him outside of Youtube compilations.
What makes you think that? I mean surely he has some free time and a La Liga sub?
I've only seen us linked to him by Gerard Romero, whom I don't consider the least bit trustworthy or reliable. Seems like billion-in-debt Barca are hoping to use our name to start a bidding war. The links with Akanji, on the other hand, seem more credible.
Rio rated Ashley Williams as a top centre back.
Then Rio has a great eye for talent.
He's on a free mate.
He's not. He has a year left on his contract.
Or certainly a great eye for talent represented by agencies he has links with.
Rio also rated Ben Godfrey.
Im starting to see a pattern on how great players/managers are poor judges of players/managers in similar positions as their own. Rio with CBs, Fergie with managers.
Playing as a RB in the El Clasico right now
Real deal.
Coping at right back better than expected
Awesome.
Scored a header from a corner in the 4-0 win
Can't see this guy leaving the Barca project for the Man United project.
They have Xavi changing their world and just spanked Real at the Bernabeu.
Araujo and Pedri are players that we should've thrown silly money at when Barca were trying to get funds to keep Messi.
That was a once in a decade chance to raid a big club. The previous chance was when we sold Ronaldo but didn't include any exchange to land Robben or Sneijder at the time I believe.
We always miss a trick. Need big changes at the board level this summer.

Selling Bailly and Jones, and getting Araujo would be fantastic. Ideally, I’d have Maguire gone but we all know that’s not going to happen.
Jones only has a year left on his contract now though. As ridiculous as it has been him being here so long, Id personally just keep him as back up until his contract runs down. We will get little in a transfer if at all and he seems to have turned down moves and loans so we would only end up payin gof his contract anyway
Yeah we wont have to pay off his full salary in one go that way as well.
Good player, deceptively fast and athletic considering he is built like Smalling, apparently has more than his share of muscle injuries, but recovers quickly.
Barca aren’t going to sell this guy
Why not get Blind again
. He'd be a DM and a CBIndeed Im not seeing it either, and reports are he wants to stay
There’s a chance until he signs a new contract
Has 1 year left on his deal, if it’s evident he’s not going to sign they’ll sell him. Would love him at united, doubt it’ll happen, but never thought I’d see Varane at United and it happened. Money talks and Barca (despite their constant bs about being loaded) are low balling new contracts.
He will sign a new contract when they pay up
Maybe, maybe not. I’m not privy to his negotiations and it’s ‘if’ they pay up.
What is clear is that all reports is that he wants to stay. They will find a compromise in my opinion.
Very different from Varane who always wanted to leave
Apparently he's rejected another offer? Are we in for him?
There's certainly hype around him. How is he as a player? I've never seen him play.

Just saw this morning in a tweet that Barca have informed his entourage that they do not intend to improve the offer.
There are talks planned after the international break
He will sign an extension. Just using us
Smalling was fast and athletic.....he just could not pass a ball to save his life.
