La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17

[rachman mahesa]

Neymar wants to return to Barcelona and the club also wants it but PSG doesn't want it to happen and they want to sell Neymar at a very expensive price. I think this is going to be difficult. Barcelona won't spend as much as PSG asks.

PSG officials want to sell at the same price when they buy from Barcelona. I don't think there is a club that wants neywar, plus the price is unfortunately very expensive. Of course clubs are better off buying cheaper young players. And can be relied on with good polite manners.

I also think that is because the purchase clause is too expensive I think Barcelona and the other clubs will forget Neymar and choose another alternative. In football, many quality players like Neymar are just not very famous.

And after Neymar's scandal that got out recently I don't see that any team is going to move forward in signing the all star player. It would be very risky to connect the brand of the team with a scandal of "their" player.

But rumors now say that Neymar will return to Barcelona with a reduction in salaries. But this is only a rumor and there has been no official announcement regarding this matter. Neymar reportedly agreed to a 5-year contract in Barcelona with salary deductions.

I think Neymar Is not a problem with salary but is Barcelona really going to buy him and redeem Neymar's release clause from PSG? the main problem is in the release clause from PSG.

Very much has been said that Barcelona is willing to buy Neymar again. The problem is that the conversation is slow and perhaps the main factor is the price problem that can be said to be still high. And PSG has also reduced the price of neymar. So this is not really hot news, it's just that this rumor must be known to us always.

Neymar is unhappy in Paris and he has been throwing tantrums for quiet a while now, due to which their president had to come in media and say any player who is not committed to PSG cause can leave. Then there’s always a mention about a whatsapp group involving Messi, Squarez, and Neymar where they have openly said he should return back to Barcelona. The latest twist in these rumours is that Neymar will hand in a transfer request and force his way back to Barcelona, which will kill Real Madrid’s dream of winning the La Liga.

Neymar is the key player Barcelona is missing, this transfer will be the best thing that can happen to Barcelona for the next season, also, PSG is not playing a football that Neymar likes, is better for him to come back in LaLiga

Neymar returned the MSN trio would be a dangerous combination for all teams in Europe, I think the Trio of Madrid vs Trio Barcelona will be a hot conversation next season.

I am still quite confident that this move will not happen. With the way he left Barca and his attitude... I am thinking Barcelona President will be very reluctant to have him back

Meanwhile Mateo Kovači's move to Chelsea could be confirmed any time soon.

^  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.

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.

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!

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.

[tokeweed]

^ ^  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 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."

[tokeweed]

^  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.

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.

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.

[Harkorede]

^ ^  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.

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   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.

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

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.
