I was gonna start it since the preseason started and then I was like - naah - you gotta start it. It's tradition.

This is what I'd like Barca to do:

Sell Pedro and promote Munir and Sandro to the first team permanently
Sell Halilovic with a buy back option
Sell Adama with a buy back option (I really want to avoid this but I don't know we have much option here)
Sell Sergi Roberto and promote Samper to the first team

Samper is the most talented player on the B team and has potential to be a star. There is no way Barca should let him get away. Among all the young players - he's the most important player for Barca. He's the most talented player to come out from La Masia since Messi, imho.

Luis must give Samper a more attackin' position instead of playing him behind Busquets and Masch. Busquets is only 27-28 and will be in that position for a while. Samper has the ability to play in a more advanced role and he should be molded into that role. I would like to see him start against bad teams in La Liga and come in as a sub for one of the mid-fielders in late 2nd half every once in a while.

At the very least - Luis can find decent time for Samper on the pitch for the rest of 2015. Once Arda joins - then I can understand PT will be limited but until then - I really hope Luis gives Samper a lot of opportunities. Roberto hasn't done enough to keep his place - so I hope he is sold and that'll make room for Samper to join the first team.

Di Maria to PSG (excellent move for PSG)
Benteke to Liverpool
Douglas Costa to Bayern (Bayern has had a terrific summer so far)
Kondogbia to Inter
