Arthur - CM - Barcelona (6 Viewers)

[Dostoevsky]

DONE DEAL: Juventus have agreed a €80m fee with Barcelona to sign Arthur. Maurizio Sarri wants to build his midfield around him in a similar way to that of Jorginho at Napoli and Chelsea. Juve offered Arthur more wages than his current deal at Barca. [Sky]

Wait... what...

Decent player but definitely not worth the amount being paid for him. But hey, reasonable transfer fees went out of the door when Bale joined Madrid.

It's just cooking books, the valuations, its 10m + Pjanic.

Another Brazillian called Melo, hmm...

I think this signing just confirms sarri staying longer....

Barca fan from Reddit:

Probably didn’t convince anyone after constant struggles with fitness. Has very serious stamina issues, at the end of matches or even the half he can look like that kid who is very clearly tired and can’t run anymore. Frustrated a lot of fans because he’s talented but for some reason gives the vibe that he’s not putting enough effort into himself

Barca fan drom Reddit:

I think this is a consequence of his injury. Pubalgia is a pain in the dick, figuratively and sometimes literally.

80m for a guy that doesn't want to come

If twitter is anything to gauge this by, no one, and I mean no one, is liking this deal from Barcelona's perspective.

More financial fuckery. For once I agree with this deal because it doesn’t weaken our team. Long term- 20 million loss and replacing a younger player with a declining older one. Short term: huge plusvalenza for Pjanic and replacing him with a better fit for our team.

Don't care about the money as much as the value for someone who doesn't want to be here.

Why should they, even if he is not starting for them, they trading a 23 year old with a 30 year old. Pjanic is more proven, but talent skill level isnt big enough to excuse away the age difference.

Maybe he will be the first good lolzilian who ever played for us. Although Neto was fine.

Emerson, anyone?

“We have spoken frequently with Barcelona, but at this moment all the teams are playing important games, so we preferred to bypass this period,” Paratici told Sky Sport Italia.

There are reports the clubs need to get the deal done by June 30 in order to balance the books and keep the transfer on the 2019-20 sheet.

“It’s not about June 30, before or after, but about finding an agreement between the various parties, and both players have to be convinced. Therefore, it’s not an issue about dates.”

Zdravo pjanic

Nah, can't even remember the time he was any good.

He ain't no Berna, that's for sure.

 

[Cerval]

I've read from more than one Barca fan that he can't finish a game and that he's a party animal. He's clearly a good player. But these issues coupled with his injuries aren't a good look

Barcelona is a club in decline. Once Messi is past it, they will have a hard time maintaining their performances. An aging group of top players and they've spent a lot on failures. Signing a 30-year-old underperforming Pjanic is a very poor decision.
Maybe Arthur is in love with the club, but I don't think you can compare Barca to where they were 10 years ago.
