Problem is they can't afford the wages for the level of players they need.They are done. They need a massive overhaul in the summer.

I think Coutinho would be a decent option for an Iniesta replacement. Isco would be perfect imo but that's obviously a no go.They need Kante to do all the running and defensive work the midfield is missing. Kante, Rakitic, and a creative midfielder to replace Iniesta.
A fair reflection and all the hate i have towards Uefalona. Couldn't hold it in.What on earth is this
A physical speciman who gets about the pitch and can pass the ball forward is exactly what they need. Legs in the centre of the park.Pogba is not the answer to people walking through their midfield.
If that's the case I'd be tempted to cash in on Suarez to help fund the rebuilt. Probably last chance to get a world record fee for him.They need a massive overhaul, two new CBs and two world-class CMs. Will take 2-3 years until they have a chance for the CL again, IMO.
Spot on here, soft core and too easy harassed and bullied off the ball. They need another physical player to go with Busquets.A physical speciman who gets about the pitch and can pass the ball forward is exactly what they need. Legs in the centre of the park.
This isn't a terrible Barca team, it's Iniesta and Gomes who are the main culprits tonight. At least with Pogba in there Busquets would have an actual midfield partner.
They're being physically bullied.
A bitter reflection ? (a certainly true one)...
Tiki Taka is dead. Catalan Academy's Golden Generation is old. Suarez is fat and slow and Neymar is over-hyped by the south-american ar$e-l!ckers. World's Best Player is half the player he once was and meaningless possession without the x-factor is being exploited and punished. The sooner they and their national team realize this, the better. Their problem looks much more worse as we are witnessing the end of their European domination and end of an era. Quite recently, Manchester City taught them a stern lesson.
I am pretty sure the other spanish giant will follow the same fate in a year or two when Ronaldo and Bale start losing their pace.
Don't think it's about blueprint. Any decent team would have beaten Barca tonight. They've been that poor.Anyone else think that PSG have watched a blueprint of how premier league teams press City to dismantle them tonight. 3 men pushing right up, tenacious and rattle them. Tactically they have done exactly what alot of sides did to City trying to play out from the back and its caught Barca cold. That combined with aging players and no new Xavi could really mean Barca have a couple of seasons transition ahead.
I'm not debating that Pogba would improve them but I think someone like Kante is more needed in that midfield. An energetic defending machine who breaks up the opponents attacks and gets them going.A physical speciman who gets about the pitch and can pass the ball forward is exactly what they need.

Stop using lame nicknames. Also all three of those players are still just as good as people say.A fair reflection and all the hate i have towards Uefalona. Couldn't hold it in.
They need to sell a big name. Neymar should be the first on the list.Problem is they can't afford the wages for the level of players they need.
I don't think Kante carries the ball well enough tbh. Of course this is all hypothetical but it's the failure of Iniesta and Gomes to carry the ball forward that's hurting them. It's too static and it allows the PSG players to encircle the Barca player with the ball.I'm not debating that Pogba would improve them but I think someone like Kante is more needed in that midfield.

He's young. Selling Suarez makes more sense.They need to sell a big name. Neymar should be the first on the list.
PSG should buy him, just to complete the circle.They need to sell a big name. Neymar should be the first on the list.
Please don't ... You shouldn't even notice that because we have had enough since 2004, watching them treated favourably by the referees, getting all the small and big decisions, having red card in their advantage, I am sick and tired of this. Just cannot forget what happened at stamford bridge in 2009.Stop using lame nicknames. Also all three of those players are still just as good as people say.
Neymar wasn't even at Barcelona til 2013. Suarez even later, and Messi is still easily the BPITW. Players like Iniesta are obviously not as good as they once were though.Please don't ...

And these players are no way near the peak they reached between 2009-2013. The era has ended no matter how painful it is to you or any other Barca fan.
I can see United going for him.PSG should buy him, just to complete the circle.
They were exactly this bad in 2013 (ish), when they suffered the same scoreline in Munich. The difference was that Messi was still under 30 then, and they went and bought Neymar and Suarez after that (to properly replace the quality of Eto'o/Henry/Villa).They're probably the worst they've been since the start of the Guardiola era, but terms like 'inevitable decline' still seem over the top. As we've seen with Chelsea this season it's perfectly possible for a top team to have a poor season and bounce back the next year. Football changes at a very quick pace, after all. But yeah, dreadful from them tonight.
But I can't see us getting him.I can see United going for him.
Would you offload Martial for him? Plus Ibra is nearly at the end of his career.But I can't see us getting him.
I'd just be very surprised if he wanted to come here. And with Di Maria fresh in memory...Would you offload Martial for him? Plus Ibra is nearly at the end of his career.
Yup, was going to ask about this...any chances of it happening? They desparately need some tactics, no matter what. Enrique seems to be putting out a 11 in the worst possible formation (442 vs Veratti Rabiot Matuidi!) with no instructions.Pep could return
You need to qualify to the Champions League though. Even if you offered him crazy money, but still played in the Europa League, he wouldn't come.I'd just be very surprised if he wanted to come here. And with Di Maria fresh in memory...
