Wee Baby Seamus
Yo, Goober, where's the meat?
Continues to be so so so funny to me that Barcelona view Eric Garcia on a free as the solution to their problems, given that he sucks

Pretty presumptuous. He’s likely be 5th option. He’s free and he’s from la masia.
Even then, they have the best attack but have been scored on 3 times more than Atletico.
Their central defense looks atrocious. Lenglet has been bad, Pique as well and Ronaldo Araujo has cost direct points last weekend.
If they invest on central defense, it has to be for quality, not Garcia.

And the people that say he sucks (it's many, not only @Wee Baby Seamus) don't contextualize what he's doing. There are only a few CB from his age group playing in any of the top leagues. None of them yet play for a club anywhere near as good as Man City where the expectations are higher, and people will criticize your every mistake.
If he was playing for Espanyol or Leganes at a lower level, he'd be getting tons of transfer interest from the big teams, and fans would want their team to sign him. If you have realistic expectations, he's a good prospect. If you expect him to immediately produce as well as 80M CB's for one of the best teams in the world, I don't think you understand CB development. You rarely see mistake-free CB's at age 19 for the big teams.

Aruajo cost barca points is hardly anything to worry about given his play this year. He also reacted to it with maturity. Surprising this is even brought up.

So, you dont rate Araujo? If so you’d be in the minority. Most are happy with him and are excited for his future.

He’s a CB being invisible is at most times a good thing. He also scored an amazing goal vs Valencia. He’s a player that has loads of potential and the best is that he came for peanuts. Ill stick with him for now and not spend like crazy on a player without knowing what they have in Aaurjo/Oscar first. Sure if a young cb can be had for cheap and falls to their laps sure go for it but at the moment sit tight and evaluate. Barca have more pressing needs.
BTW he has not been awful at all. You might be mistaken him for Lenglet who has been horrid at times this season.
Yes and no.
Pique is old and will take a backseat at some point.
Lenglet is IMO not a defensive leader.
Barca needs a new Pique, and I don't see that in either Araujo or Garcia.
As for pressing needs, except for a coach there isn't a position I'm more worried for them.
GK is fine, midfield is fine, tons of talent up front too.
CB is where the most glaring problem is.
Of course, if they sell Griezmann, Dembele, lose Messi, and all, then they definately should invest up front.

Their best striker is Braithwaite... I have seen anything from Araujo that suggests he cant be great. Who knows if he will reach that level but so far so good. Like I said most Barca fans are in love with him. And for good reason, he been one of the few bright spots in this travesty of season. Under Koeman too.

Given his talent yes but Greizz has been horrible under what 3 coaches used in multiple positions. He will never be a fit here, he will be gone by the summer. Or should be if Barca are serious about going back to winning ways.

Player does too and he has failed to do so.Therefore, a more pressing need is a striker who FITS.

We have the best player too.... for 6 months. How many goals do our strikers have?
Vasilevskiy
The cat will be back
Araujo is good we will see if he keeps developing at the moment he's not starting level for a club like this though.
Lenglet has been bad which is unfortunate, I do like him

His 7 is more than greizzy and braithwaite combined.
Fati is out 2 months and he still has more goals than Greizzy lol that says it all really.

Lmaooo an 18 year old kid who’s been out for 2 months has more goals than the striker and would be striker... how is this not a need? You’re being ridiculous.
