Signings and decisions on time! Barça must not wait until June to prepare for next season
THIS SEASON’S SQUAD HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS
After a summer in which practically it did not have exits that generated entry, but that yes generated the need to reinforce the team, as it was the goodbye of Sergio Busquets, the FC Barcelona showed that his planning of the staff was not done with the necessary anticipation in many respects. This situation, perhaps motivated by the change of sportive director, or the fault of sales, left a competitive team for the current course, but something desbalanceado and without the necessary basic wardrobe to face all the competitions of the best way.
Like this they reinforce it the problems that has had the team to consolidate a XI, further of the obvious problem of the injuries of key players like Gavi, Pedri or Of Jong. But initially the team began with only a natural right side in the staff, doing that a canterano of 17 years like Héctor Fort had to take chevrons in the start of the second half, playing even of left side in some moments, product of the very low level of Marcos Alonso that it has not been able to add almost at all to the team in this 23/24.
The Barça has to learn of the problems of this season
In the midfield the Barça fichó to Gündogan and Oriol Romeu, but one clearly was not a pivote and the another left in evidence that it was not a footballer that could adapt to the elite in spite of his good present in the Girona. These situations, added to the irregular performance of a headline that is yielded like Joao Félix in the left extreme, leave him clear to the Barça that for the following course can not adopt a similar position, much less taking into account that there will be change of trainer.
Right now another of the canteranos that have exploded this season, Pau Cubarsí (adding to Lamine and Marc Guiu), is headline of the first team and everything indicates that it would have to be still in this role, by what have to take decisions with players like Araújo, Koundé, Christensen and Iñigo Martínez, trying define who does not go in in the plans of the club and begin to listen offers. This type of situations has to go accompanied of the election also of the new trainer, as well as of if finally it will move index card of definite way by the two yielded of the course, Cancel and Joao Félix.
Those that go back, those that have to go and those that really will be headlines
In a similar direction, the Barça already has taken the decision to have Julián Araujo when it finish his loan in The Palms, something that also has to analyse with players like Eric García, Sergiño Dest or Ansu Fati. The three seem allocated to leave money in the arks culés, but this entry has to be looked for what before, as well as if footballers like Lewandowski, Ferran and Raphinha will be or no in the ramp of exit.
The Barça needs to decide if it will give definite step to youngsters like Vitor Roque or Lamine, or if it still will insist with some of his signings of the 2022, players that in his majority arrived with the ‘OK’ of Xavi that except surprise will not be still in the bench. The club requires a pivote, reinforce the sides and have a XI that, except injuries, can be almost by heart and right now is very far of this, by what can not follow demorando the definition of his leaf of route.
