    Was Arthur injured?

    Arthur, De Jong and De Ligt as well as a new top striker and they'll be looking really good..

    Dembele and Coutinho will probably go and Suarez is looking slower (although still class) so I imagine they'll bring in a pacey talented forward. Who do we think, Mbappe?

    These two pretending they were sick post match. Was like a post mortem..

    Just shows you how fake it is. Knew that with an ex Barca striker and Man United player they'd deffo no he supporting Liverpool..

    They could do worse than replacing Ousmane for Moussa...

    To be fair to them they are big Messi fans, Lineker pretty much tweets about him every day and Ferdinand always calls him the best of all time and says he can't wait to watch him. I mind even when they played Man U Ferdinand said he wanted Messi to put on a show.

    If they could get good fees for Suarez and Coutinho from EPL sides and get Mbappe that would be a great move.

    Won't happen but I think he'd actuallybe decent for them..

    I get that but the whole pretending you're disappointed routine post match is fake as * when that's you're natural reaction to the goals :giggle1:

    Coutinho they could easily get 50 mill plus as everyone knows his quality still..

    Hard to think off my head right now but they do need an injection of pace. They get out well because they're comfortable and ooze class but an Mbappe playing off of Messi can you imagine Messi feeding him in? Jesus..

    Hope Gerrard is greeting into his Liverpool duvet the night. Didn't think Barca were that great. Hopefully they get an early goal at anfield as well and really destroy them.

    They should sell Coutinho and go for Hazard, Hazard is available for cheap and they need pace like that out wide. I like Coutinho and thought he'd have fit in but the lack of pace or defensive ability means they can't really carry him and allow him to be a playmaker as they have Messi anyway. They need someone with pace more and Dembele has been injured too much and inconsistent.

    Ter Stegen
    Semedo Pique De Ligt Alba
    Busquets
    De Jong Arthur
    Messi Suarez Hazard​

    Cillessen, Lenglet, Umtiti, Roberto, Vidal, Rakitic, Dembele

    That would be some outfit.

    Coutinho may fit in well with De Ligt, De Jong and Arthur though De Ligt and De Jong will help speed up the passing and creativity which could free up Coutinho a bit and even improve Busquets, Pique and Arthur by adding a new dimension and movement better than Lenglet/Umtiti and Rakitic.

    Mbappe is a shoe in for Madrid if he leaves PSG IMO.

    Too big an opportunity for any French youngster to pass up.

    Hazard is no doubt for Madrid. Been touted for about 2 year..

    They deffo need a competing forward now at the very least..

    If it was a tug of war then I know what club I'd be choosing..

    Madrid need a scary overhaul..

    Become the main man under Zidane or skulk in Messi’s shadow for 3 years.

    I think the lure of ZZ would be too much, even if Barca won the quadruple.

    Could depend what state Madrid are in though, Ramos, Marcelo, Kroos, Modric, Bale and Benzema are all old.

    If Barca and Real want you any time soon I can't see why you wouldn't go to Barca.

    Would he really be in his shadows though, or would he be adding another dimension to their play?

    His electric pace would free Messi up and all that goes with it..

    They'd be a really devastating side again with someone like him in..

    I look at Madrid and I just think, what a job that needs doing..

    I’m a Barca fan boy and I can see clearly why you’d choose Madrid over Barca in certain circumstances.

    Anyone that signs for Barca or has signed for Barca plays second fiddle to Messi.

    Neymar couldn’t cope with it, the likes of Suárez have.

    Neymar is the biggest bawbag in the game mate :56:
