Semi realistic what Barcelona could have been since Neymar departure
The main changes would be
Summer 2017
- Not hiring Valverde
- Signing Mbappé instead of Dembele
- Signing Thiago Alcantara in the summer of 2017 he wouldn’t have come cheap but 70 or 80 millions back then should have seal the deal
With Thiago / Rakitic/ Iniesta and Andre Gomez no need to sign Paulinho despite him turning to be a pretty good signing for us
Semedo was signed before Neymar leave so that don’t change
Consequences
We still bottle against Roma it’s Mbappé first season so he don’t perform too well some players start to show little sign of decline and we have to think about solutions to replace them
Summer 2018
Rumors says we had a 80 millions offer for Rakitic but I dont believe it and even if Rakitic had a super 17/18 season so back then refusing kinda make sense so let’s keep Rakitic one more season sign 3 young players : Arthur , Malcolm and Lenglet they wouldn’t come as starters but Arthur would slowly takeover Rakitic spot during the season , we also bring a backup RB and move Roberto to the midfield
Consequences
Mbappé score the chances Dembele missed , A midfield with Thiago and Arthur resist better to Liverpool pressing than Vidal and Rakitic and while still losing 3-1 at Anfield Barcelona qualify and then beat Totthenam because nobody can outbottle Spurs
Summer 2019
Rakitic leave for a respectable fee of 25 millions, We signed De Jong, De Ligt , Thiago moved to a deeper role as CDM ( where he played for Bayern in 19/20 ) to replace an aging Busquets , realistically Bartomeu always wanted Griezmann so he would have been signed one day or another so let’s say we sign him here ( everything doesn’t have to be perfect) Suarez being his backup , Puig is promoted to the first team , Roberto is sold and weird add but we were heavily linked with Rabiot this summer he was free while De Jong and De Ligt would have cost a lot so we wouldn’t have much money left .
Consequences
We still beat by Bayern but 4-2 instead of 8, we win La Liga
Summer 2020
We sell Suarez but not to a Spanish club, Semedo leave, we sign Emerson and we sign Lord Braitwaite because we are nothing without him
End of the fantasy story of what could have been
