Josep Maria Bartomeu preached a substantial renewal of the staff and the course of several heavy weights of the just club after the hecatombe suffered against the Bayern Munich in Lisbon, but the reality to day of today is that so only there has been a drop sounded: the one of Rakitic, that joins to Arthur Melo that did the cases does weeks to leave gap to Miralem Pjanic, one of the new incorporations.

They have landed in the club young players like Pedri and Trincao, but the Barça has not done neither the half of his pending duties and, after the circus mounted between Leo Messi and the directive that finished with the Argentinian remaining 'forced' in the staff, all seem to have stagnated. Not even Luis Suárez neither Arturo Vidal, those who theoretically would abandon the club in question of few days, have ultimado still the signings by his future clubs.

It was as it was, the question is that where more would have to have reinforced the FC Barcelona these last weeks is in his big weakness: the defence. The culés fit eight goals against the Bayern Munich, but along this last campaign 2019-20 already received more than a serious correctivo in front of teams of LaLiga Santander. And they could have sucumbido several times in Champions League of have not been by a pinch of luck and the good do of Ter Stegen.

Before it finish the summer is possible that arrive Eric García like head office of future, although it foresees that of face to this next season the defence title keep on being the same of the last courses: I Hammered, Lenglet and Jordi Alba without discussion, whereas the right side would combine it to him Semedo and Sergi Roberto, waiting for knowing if the Portuguese finish abandoning or no the club in shape of traspaso.

A lot of noise and few walnuts, therefore, if we compare the words of Bartomeu with the movements that have given up to now, and that they are rather scarce. It speaks of Wijnaldum and Depay like reinforcements for the centre of the field and the forward, and in the medullary the most likely is that Busquets no longer was headline, yielding leadership to Of Jong and Pjanic.

The Barça needs substantial changes

In any case, if the FC Barcelona wishes that the things change of face to the next campaign, will be necessary propiciar changes something more trásticos in the staff culé, especially in defence. If it is not like this, it is possible that to the Barça go back him to paint the face so much in Champions League as in LaLiga... And the fans culé already is more than fed up.
