How do you respond about Zidane who confirms that Gareth Bale will not be in Real Madrid for the upcoming season? I still don't know which club Gareth Bale is next season, it's interesting to know.

I’m not surprised as everyone knows that Zidane doesn’t like Bale, and has been trying to sell him since last year and Perez refusal to sell him was a key reason why he resigned. There’s no clarity yet about Bales next club as it could be Tottenham, Manchester United, PSG or even a Chinese club if no one agrees to pay for him. A new rumour doing rounds is a direct swap with PSG where Madrid will get Neymar, and PSG will get Bale and additional cash which is a win win deal for all the parties involved.

hmm, this is very interesting if real Madrid sells Gareth Bale to PSG, maybe the chance to get Neymar can happen, but as we know Barcelona won't let that happen. I strongly agree if Bale becomes a PSG player and I hope he rejects the Chinese club's offer because as a star player he must remain in the top European league.

^  It won't.  He's just gonna be a problem at the club.  Like the last time he was at Barca and just like he is right now at PSG.  What a liability.

Get Griezmann instead.  IMHO.

I also think that Griezmann is a top player and I think he will fit well into a club like Barcelona.At Atletico he used to get a lot of attention from his friends to give him by giving him a lot of good balls,it will a bit dofferent at Barcelona because they play the tika taka with a lot of passing to each other but I think Griezmann will learn how to be compatible with this way of play and why not Barcelona to win the Champions League this year.
I think so, even selfish players like Suarez can adjust the strategy of Barcelona, Griezmann will be a much-needed player in Barcelona
next season, The Barcelona trio will return to life and it will make Barcelona return to conquer Europe

Not happening with their current manager.  I think Real has a better chance to do it with Zidane being given full control over management and direction of the club.

Definitely agree with this. Neymar is a fantastic player but his attitude stinks. He’s a really, really shit person. He doesn’t have the right mental state to be a world class player, he’d be so much better if he did.

Griezmann is a top player, Barca could do a lot worse.

I don't think clubs pay players for their personalities. As long as they score goals nobody will care. There are thousands of examples. They even see it as an advantage sometimes. In this case they think "ok this guy is an asshole but he is our asshole."

No one wants that. Suarez was an asshole but guess what, Barcelona transformed him.
After he signed to Barca he stopped biting and getting punished for inappropriate behavior. If a player doesn't behave properly he harms his club as well.

On the other hand one might think and say; Suarez was an asshole but Barcelona still transferred him even though they knew he was an asshole. Did they also transformed him? Yes. But It wasn't a sure thing, it was a bit of gamble.

Suarez, an asshole but a good player, in the end made his way to a big club like Barcelona no matter how shitty his personality was.

Still the different between Neymar and Suarez is that Suarez wasn't so arrogant but "stupid". He was a bad guy because he was dumb to realize that this was something bad for his career.
On the other hand, the media was writing that Neymar is the best player in the world when Messi and Ronaldo retires and he believed that so much that he stopped trying to be the best. He is just an arrogant guy, and once he became like that when he was young, he will never change.

Doesn't seem to me that Suarez has transformed that much.  Of course, he can't keep biting players week in, week out. He will always get heavily punished. When you watch Barcelona's matches, he's unfair-like football antics can still be seen every now and then.

We have seen the change in Suarez's attitude from Liverpool to Barcelona. And he is now better and it is true he has not bitten again  Cheesy What is now thought is if Neymar returns to Barcelona. Can it change his attitude? I admit Neymar is a great player but because there are too many cases, of course there are many people who don't like his attitude.

^ ^  Both of you, on top of your head, which player would you pick, outside of Neymar and Griezmann, if you were to make that decision then?

I was a big fan Luka Jovic and was happy to read about Barca having its radar on him and hoping Barcelona would make a move for him as a potential replacement for Luis Suarez, before Jovic joined Real Madrid.

As things currently are as If I could make the calls , I'd rather Barcelona sign just De Ligt(that's probably not going to happen due to his imminent move to Juventus) and then close business for this transfer window.

Sack Valverde and bring in a more versatile coach who would know well enough;

1. to play Semedo ahead of Sergi Roberto in the right wing back.
2. that playing Coutinho and Dembele together is not a taboo.
3. not to Play Coutinho on wing leave him as an 8, he's creative but not as pacey as you'd expect a winger to be.
4. that it's not compulsory to have an energetic(power driven) midfielder on the pitch to get things done, creativity matters (as far as Barcelona is concerned)
5. to deploy Dembele as the first choice left winger.
6. Messi dependence leaves Barca extremely at a disadvantage.

Either player would be a plague for Barcelona, and they should be avoided at all cost, but this Barcelona Board knows nothing!  Neymar attitude won't change, and he'd jump on another as soon as he gets another chance, and Griezmann style won't suite Barcelona!

100% agree with this. I would also add that Griezmann sort of made fun of Barcelona last season when he recorded that video to explain he will stay at Atletico. If he singes for Barcelona and doesn't hit the ground running Barcelona supporters will very quickly turn against him they will never forget that video.

^  Even if that player goes on prima donna mode causing problems in the dressing room?  What manager would want that?  There's more to squad building than acquiring players who score goals imo.

I agree with your opinion that the Griezman style of play will not match Barcelona, I think he should find another club that is the same as his playing style.
