La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Oneandpure]

Ousmane Dembele is close to sign an agreement with Barcelona, Barça literally going to have Fati, Ferran, Dembele and Raphinha as wing options with Lewandowski, Auba and Depay as strikers, wow that's gonna be a pretty good attacking squad, but I doubt if Rafinha will be joining if eventually Dembele sign a new contract, but Xavi needs to do something about the defence, if the attack is good and the defence is nothing to write home about, it does not worth it

No doubt with Barcelona attacking player but most terrible what happen with defensive and midfielder position, right now Barcelona as team most active on window transfer with attacking player and have several midfielder success get. But not any new defensive player looking for by Barcelona. I think Barcelona have problem with defender were Gerrard Pique not on the top performance again and Barcelona need to find new player replace him. If Raphinha coming to Barcelona will make many option on attacking position player but Barcelona have forget what should do on defensive position.

Barcelona are in a dilemma now when it comes to a winger transfer. They are having problems on making a choice between Raphinha and Dembele now. They might think of re-signing Dembele after he has become a free agent. I don't think that they would be the only team that would like to sign him though but as far as I know Dembele was okay to continue playing for Barcelona. I'm not sure about Dembele honestly. Maybe Raphinha might be a better choice for them.

I think, Barcelona will prefer to sign in Raphinha in this season than Dembele because many teams are willing to have Raphinha in their team so that they will be able to perform well in next season. I believe, Barcelona president will not miss this opportunity to sign in talented player that will help the team to improve higher in next season, because many Barcelona fans are not happy about their performance in this season. No doubt, Barcelona will sign in Raphinha because many fans prefer him than Dembele because they will like to test someone that have never joined the team before to see how productive the person is in his formal team.

Dembele has been with Barcelona for some time now no doubts right ? Yes! To some point and an extent he showed he wants out and Xavi Hernandez talked to him ( heard from the news ) saying he wants him yet around as he would be part of he's plans for the first team next season. But still wanted the exit, then came Barcelona President, saying leave or stay we don't care, talks about he's movement immediately reduced.

Raphina has shown desire to play for Barcelona, same way Lewandoski is doing for Barcelona pushing an exit from Bayern Munich .
Raphina should have accepted Chelsea some weeks back since they already had a fair agreement and alignment with Leeds United on the transfer fee. I'll choose Raphina over Dembele, Brazilians attacking players are always great when they represent Barcelona, if I can remember precisely,  Coutinho is one of them that wasn't lucky enough.

Actually, that's not the only thing that makes Barcelona a dilemma. There are many things that make them have to think carefully before making the final decision that will determine their game next season. They even lack center backs now, because last season they were a bit weak in that position. I hope Barcelona can make the right decision.

It's more acceptable because if I compare Rafinha and Dembele, I also prefer Rafinha to fill the void. Especially now that Rafinha is one of the players that many other clubs are looking for, as you said, it means that Rafinha has the ability to become a special attraction for clubs that are interested in him. But back again will Barcelona move as many want or vice versa.

I think their defence is all right, don't you? It may not be as strong as their attacking line, let's just say out of proportion, but it's not weak nonetheless. The main thing is for the Lewandowski deal to happen and then it will be the perfect squad for Barcelona, I think what happens next will depend on Xavi and his tactics

in my opinion barcelona's attack is very bad, they couldn't score many goals constantly and that's what hurt them a lot, of course their defense was bad but if they had a very strong attack then they could easily win many games in a good way easy. I read that PSG are also interested in Robert Lewandowski... I hope barcelona hurry up and make a better offer if they want to have Robert Lewandowski in barcelona because we all know that PSG is a team that has so much money that it looks like has unlimited money and if PSG want Robert Lewandowski they can easily have

Exactly you get the point, their attack is not that strong, the likes of Lewandowski will be a very big plus to their squad and they will need to do more on their defense, they should not focus mainly on their attacking squad, imagine spending money on Adama Traore just to keep him on the bench, they could have gotten a better defender with that money and boost their defence squad. Well let's see how xavi will handle the team next season, but I don't think that this squad can win champions league or La liga

I would like to see Raphinha not sharing the same fate with Coutinho at Barcelona. Coutinho had really bad times there and he is better now in the Premier League. Dembele didn't perform very good for a long time for Barcelona but Xavi started to think of him in the starting eleven after coming here actually. Because he started to get better by his arrival. However I still think it is better to give a chance to Raphinha as they already know about Dembele. Maybe Dembele will start playing bad again if he returns.

But Unfortunately, Barcelona are still having difficulty getting funds to bring Raphinha, reportedly Frenkie De Jong has not been sold until now. The drama that happened to this player De Jong became even more sad when Barcelona had not found a suitable replacement to replace him, Leeds United also gave an ultimatum to Barcelona to complete Raphinha transfer.

[OcTradism]

Well let's see how xavi will handle the team next season, but I don't think that this squad can win champions league or La liga

Sorry. Adama Traore on bench? In the past season, second half, Adama Traore was used a lot and contributed a lot to Barcelona's achievement at the second position (runner-up) of La Liga. That player can play and contribute very well in both defense and attacking. His body strength and speed helps him to cover defense and his young training in La Massia helps him to have good attacking ability.

It's more acceptable because if I compare Rafinha and Dembele, I also prefer Rafinha to fill the void. Especially now that Rafinha is one of the players that many other clubs are looking for, as you said, it means that Rafinha has the ability to become a special attraction for clubs that are interested in him. But back again will Barcelona move as many want or vice versa.

By any mean, Barcelona successfully to convince Dembele to stay. It is big surprise as Dembele revealed he want to leave and Barcelona did not make any enough good offer for him. In the end, they have a deal and Dembele will not move to anywhere.

If you compare between Dembele and Rafinha. Dembele is better as he has a few seasons in Barcelona so he has enough time there. In the past season, he has a first good season in Barcelona.

[bering]

Yes they should keep Dembele, if you watch Barcelona match very well last season you would see that his contributions to the team was top notch, he understood Aubameyang very well, they connected so well because they have been together before, if eventually Raphinha comes to Barcelona he will take time to adapt and he will want to prove himself by scoring and in such processes he will be stingy in releasing pass as to when due, Dembele made lots of assist rather than scoring because there is no pressure on him, this I see Raphinha might not be able to do because there will be pressure on him to deliver

Barcelona actually will giving him extended contract and they were waiting his answers whether he willing to signs new contract or not and Xavi personally want him to stayed at Barcelona because Dembele has help Barcelona reach to runner up position last season but unfortunately Dembele agent seems attempts to hold him not to renew his contract even the latest rumour is his agent met Inter Milan to talking about transfer i think this because his agent want Dembele get high salary so the situation will became so complicated now

Ousmane Dembélé doesn't really have a good place at Barcelona that makes him reluctant to sign a new contract with Barcelona until now, often gets injured so that he has to compete with many star players to become a main player at Barcelona makes Ousmane Dembélé seem to have faded his career, I think it is appropriate if the player wants to go to another club.
Yes, it is true that on the other hand, the club is still trying to get Ousmane Dembélé to stay, but now all decisions are made by the player himself.

There are many things that make them have to think carefully before making the final decision that will determine their game next season. They even lack center backs now, because last season they were a bit weak in that position. I hope Barcelona can make the right decision.

Currently there are many things that must be addressed by Barcelona before entering next season, because apart from experiencing a financial crisis, Barcelona also has to buy other players who are better and that seems to have made it more difficult for Barcelona because there are not good players who have cheap prices now.
So Barcelona need to make improvements one by one because Barcelona's condition is not like other clubs now.

it is very difficult to bring in players with expensive prices for Barca. it will certainly cause problems for their finances.
on the other hand, Barca can maximize the potential of existing players. by making purchases that become their needs. Especially for the position of players who eventually left because they were being chased by other clubs.
Barca must completely overhaul its business. Barca can be very scary this season if they have strong support to bring in some of the star players who are rumored to be Barca's target.

[D-law]

The financial problem is really causing harm to Barcelona.
Raphina should have been signed, Lewandoski should also have been a done deal.
And talks about De Jong shouldn't have continued they should have increased the salary.
And also pay the debt they owe.

Everyone also knows it all, that the instability in Barcelona's finances caused them to be chaotic in the transfer market. Expected to be able to get the players they want quickly, in fact until now they are still struggling with rumors that are difficult to resolve. Lucky for Barcelona that his players can be loyal to this team.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

The financial problem is really causing harm to Barcelona.

Barcelona are working hard to build an ambitious team, but they are still far from building a better team than Real Madrid. If they want a championship in the league, they need to work harder to bring star players to the team. Because if everything goes like this, Real Madrid can have an easy championship in the Spanish League again.

[marcous]

The drama that happened to this player De Jong became even more sad when Barcelona had not found a suitable replacement to replace him, Leeds United also gave an ultimatum to Barcelona to complete Raphinha transfer.

Barcelona is in a difficult situation, to bring in their target player they have to wait for De Jong transfer process to complete. While Leeds United began to be irritated with the slow attitude of the Barcelona management in completing the transfer of Raphinha, Leeds United demanded that the Barcelona management immediately complete the transfer of Raphinha by paying him in cash. Barcelona must immediately take a stand with the situation that is happening to him, De Jong's transfer to Manchester United or Chelsea must be immediately formalized to get some funds in order to bring Raphinha to Camp Nou.

[AakZaki]

So what is your conclusion, mate? Barcelona should keep Dembele or not?
As far as I know, Barcelona has no good right-winger now. They actually only have Dembele in that position, now Dembele is a free agent. Raphinha is a good right-winger, he is young and very talented/skilled. But there are some top teams interested to sign him as well. If Barcelona doesn't want to pay his transfer fees at big amount of money, they can't sign Raphinha. Anyway, Barcelona is very urgent to sign a new right-winger now.

With the status of money difficulty keeping Dembele  is the best option. I think Barcelona have a lot of debt to the players that must be paid in the new season. Even though he was often injured, and didn't get many playing minutes, of course Xavi could try to believe it. Actually Dembele is a good player. Although I know that barcelona really need a new defender because indeed they are slow enough to keep players on the run.

[CLS63]

I find Barcelona's interest in Dembele again as interesting to be honest. Because they were the side that didn't seem willing to see him in the team anymore in the first place. Dembele stated some time ago that he wanted to stay for a longer time. Xavi also seemed leaning towards for keeping him here. But now there is a big ambiguity about this situation. I think Dembele will end up with a different team this summer and that team might be Chelsea depending on the result of the Raphinha deal.

If they want a championship in the league, they need to work harder to bring star players to the team. Because if everything goes like this, Real Madrid can have an easy championship in the Spanish League again.

They have to solve their financial problems quickly, because that is a real obstacle for them to build their dream squad. If they have done that I'm sure they will be back to their best, or not they will improve faster. We can see now, that what makes it difficult for them to make a deal is their finances.
