2537569, Oh def need more depth up front. But defense is even more urgent.

And yeah Barca do in fact have a serious cash problem right now, esp they haven't sold naming rights for the new stadium. It's why they are playing with fire by failing to give Neymar a new deal yet. It's why they didn't buy Nolito in January even though Luis Enrique asked for him -- and, as you note, not doing so doomed the front line to exhaustion by the crucial part of the season since they've played so many games (many many more than the front lines for Real and Atletico, for example).
I wish they bought Marquinhos 2-3 yrs ago when that move was rumored before PSG swooped in for him. He'd be a great signing this summer IMO. Don't know who else is an option - maybe Aymeric Laporte? Sounds like he'll go to City though.
I don't watch many full games of Ben Arfa's, just the (obviously very impressive) highlights -- does he move the ball quickly enough to fit in well with Barca's system?
