They're definitely getting somebody for their back line, most likely Marquinhos who's (righteously) mad as shit at Blanc and wants out of Paris. I feel this is inevitable, even though Nasser doesn't wanna hear it yet.

But that doesn't mean they weren't gonna go for offensive talent as well. They got cash.

b. you guys' "we don't need nobody upfront" routine is a bit disingenuous, considering the fact neither Neymar nor Messi did jack shit in the 2 biggest games of the season vs Atletico because they were cooked, and Lucho didn't trust nobody on that bench to sub for them. It's not like y'all lost that round because of defense.

c. Ben Arfa is clearly one of the most attractive deals on the market. Given the minutes, he'd help on a team like Barca.
