18 signings for how many starters, by Xavier Muñoz

In the Barça of these times the state of sporting need is mixed with economic hardship. It would be logical to think, therefore, of a containment plan based on giving the quarry a lot of flight and bringing only signings to be fixed on the board. In that profile they would be Lewandowski, Koundé, Bernard Silva, Raphinha (?) and probably, Azpilicuetabut from what it already smells Kessie, Christensen y Mark Alonso they would come with cache to give ‘depth to the campus’. Except Paul Tower, a youth bet ascribable to that required containment, let’s remember the reinforcements since 2021; those closed and some already fired. Last summer they arrived Eric Garcia (alternate), Memphis (transferable), Omen (medical sick leave), Iron (returned to Rapid) and Luke de Jong (back to PSV). In winter they landed Alves y Adama (they are no longer), Aubameyang (presumed future reservation of Lewandowski) y Ferran Torres (55 million and it already comes out in a few ideal elevens for Barça-2023). In total, 18 names. And headlines, what is said headlines, how many?
