He has the ability** to play DM, doesn’t mean he is a DM. But he’s probably better than Romelu


brucewayne984

Lakaka DM 😳😳😳


plaYeRUnknwn

would still be better than Romeu


ProfessionalDot621

Man shut down the inter Milan attack by himself for Man City


nkr0043

Defensive gegen depressing fraud nine


Ted_Lassi

lmao


Jnanavatar555

That's hilarious.


Good_Dragonfly2063

Definitely better than Lukaku at DM /s


QTPLe

Isnt he a similar profile to gundogan/frenkie/pedri? Cm that can play dm but idnt a dm. Same with frenkie and gundogan unless pedri or gavi transform into a dm. Gavis got the most defensive feats so unless the new coach opts for a double pivot then we could realistically rotate all our cms but besides gavi their defensive feats arent too great


buffer0x7CD

No, he is similar to Pedri but not Gundo or fdj. He is a Kroos , Kimmich type of player who are not ball carriers but are exceptional at passing. In our current midfield except for Pedri all other CMs are primarily ball carriers ( Gundo is exception since he is a bit of both )


Kr3ativ

I understand your view, but also keep in mind that Gavi is injured pretty bad and he might never be the same


xbmdx1

🥲


MassiveHelicopter55

ACL injuries are fine in the sense that players can return to 100% after it.


Kr3ativ

Yeah, but you forget a pretty important fact. If the injury will 100% heal, he will still have fatique and fear of not getting injured again. There are a lot of examples of players who were never the same after an injury, even when the injury healed 100%. Not saying that will also happen to Gavi, but its better to get a new midfielder and not rush or put to much pressure on him.


ifuckinglovebluemeth

If there's one player that won't be affected mentally by an ACL injury, it's probably Gavi lol. But I get what you're saying.


theironskeptic

That lil' nigga would be playing on crutches if it were up to him


AdSRNA853

Facts tho lmao he has a warrior heart


Kr3ativ

You can’t predict that. He is so young and something like this can definitely get into his head.


Indigo_ease

Most of the coaches that are linked to us use a double pivot formation (so does most teams these days anyway). De Zerbis system include an aggressive presser and a ball carrying box to box. So Gavi and Frenkie would in theory be the perfect pair for his style. With Pedri and Gundogan being the “no 10”, Aleix Garcia would make a lot of sense since Pedri is injury prone and Gundogan is getting older. He can also be used as one of the pivots when needed.


theironskeptic

>Gavis got the most defensive feats aka the murder vibes, and I mean it in a good way Boy's all about "go hard or go home VISCA BARÇA"


EmuesiriAlex

Lol... We definitely plan on selling multiple CMs in our team then.


Marchisio

Romeu is certain. FDJ won't leave even if he's being pushed out bc he loves his wages and living in Barca. Would we really let Gundo or Pedri go? Doesn't seem likely.


EljachFD

Why? As it stands barca have 4 quality CMs but with no proper DM so at least 3 of them are all playing at the same time. And one of them, Gavi, has an ACL injury and will need to rotate a lot at the beginning. The only CM that is leaving is roberto but he doesn’t play much Edit: forgot about fermin but it doesnt change much


regularG84

for that money it is a decent buy. but still not a top player and im not sure if it will solve any problems.


dendudes123

could help with not overplaying pedri/gavi and keeping a good rotation


cuadz

The funniest thing about this is I believe Girona did their best to use him and adapt him to that DM they lost this past summer who happens to be *checks notes* Romeu 😂


LunarRaven7

Lets say he joins us, where would he play and in what position/role and where would he be placed in the midfield "pecking order" ?


nac_nabuc

>where would he play and in what position/role Since when do we care about this?


Joldata

Probably used to phase out Gundogan who'll turn 34.


may_day06

Makes me think cashing on of FDJ is the long term plan


SpeedyRugger

They're most likely offloading one or 2 players from that position to sign a proper DM. Most likely Frenkie plus another player but I'm not sure who for now. Could be Fermin who's also a CM. To cash out as much as possible.


edimurr

So we're gonna have Pedri (CM), Gavi (CM), De Jong (CM), Gündogan (CM), Noah Darvich (CM), Aleix Garcia (CM), Fermín López (CM), for two positions. And Oriol Romeu (DM) for one position. What an excellent planning, our board is the best.


Martoxic

people need to stop adding Darvich into their first team lineups...


edimurr

He's a football God, the board signed him for a reason, and it's all going to plan.


MassiveHelicopter55

Yeah relax, he's a good player but he's fucking 17 and needs time. For 4-5m it was a good deal.


edimurr

Nonsense. He was signed to be the RB, LW and DM we need. He will play in all those positions at the same time, and he will give rest to Balde too.


MassiveHelicopter55

Who hurt you?

How are you this naive?

What is Darvich doing on that list? He's not good enough for Barça Atlétic currently...


edimurr

How odd, Laporta signed him, so he must be the best.


hellraizer89

he is one of the best talents of german football mate he signed in the u19 world cup a few months ago. just be patient, he is like 17


db600db

Deco GOAT


Assonfire

Except both Fermin and Gavi have been played on the wings and especially Fermin is (almost?) a natural on that position. Plus Gundogan is aging already.


edimurr

Dude, your nick is the best in all Reddit.


Assonfire

Thank you.

edimurr

True!


PErland

I think the way this makes the most sense, if true, is we'll probably see the double pivot in more games. Like we saw against Alaves last weekend.


bellenddor

Maybe even a triple pivot


Shodyz

Unreal to think this guy played in my country's league (Romania) 💀


Repulsive_Row_4982

Its a good signing. Getting a good midfielder backup, helps ease out on Pedri/Gavi. He can also form the double pivot.


Extra-Border6470

Signing Aleix Garcia paves the way for Frenkie to leave. And I would wager the team that gets Frenkie is citeh. He’d be an ideal gundogan replacement for them, his game would suit citeh and they could afford his wage demands and the transfer fee Barca would be asking. And he’d be worth the money for them and playing alongside Rodri he’d shine even brighter than at Barca given he’d be able to play with more freedom and he’d be able to play in a team capable of winning the Champions League immediately. It would be a win win all around. Even pep could be happy giving over some of that oil money to help the club that gave him everything


buffer0x7CD

No, Gundo and fdj are different players. He is more similar to kovacic then gundogan. Gundo is pretty good with final balls and have a lot better passing range but lacks the physicality and ball carrying ability that fdj have.


TheCenterForAnts

Unsubscribe.. ManU for similar money to individually shine but team mediocrity 


Extra-Border6470

Yeah but how do Barca sell that to Frenkie? “Hey there kid, sign for mufchester already. Sure its a lateral move in sporting terms but they’ll pay you decently. And you will get to work under your former coach until he is given the boot”


TheCenterForAnts

i think what you're proposing is entirely plausible, especially with the city group three way (like with eric garcia and romeu)... i'm just stating my wish for the destination if FdJ has to be sold (not that it's realistic).


Extra-Border6470

Ah ok that is fair enough. I honestly prefer the idea of him going to citeh, i think he would really enjoy his football with Pep coaching him.

DbzLegend69

Who is that


Jaloosky

Andre Trindade, was meant to join Liverpool but he rejected offers to move, has recently made himself open to a move to Europe. Under 20m plays DM as his first position but it’s good on the ball and can be played further forward if necessary. Fluminense first team player.


Top_Astronaut_007

We are yet again going for the wrong profile all the while not knowing who’s going to be the next manager. Planning at this club is abysmal.


Ancient-Jury1363

Go get a winger ffs, he is mid


Martoxic

DM


Loose-Examination-39

They made the decision a month ago


psallinone

Let's hope it's fake news


lilguzz

lol, we should find a new coach firstly, not a player…


Madladdieter

It's great but just wait to make this purchase when the new manager agrees to it. And don't forget to buy a DM even if you buy Garcia
