The midfield area needs to be given crucial attention because it has always held paramount importance in Barcelona's style of play. Andres Iniesta is already 33 and the officials have failed to find a worthy successor for the Spanish wizard.They failed to land major transfer targets, while the midfielders they signed last year have failed to match the expected standards. With the current crop of midfielders including Gerard Deulofeu, Denis Suarez, Paulinho, Aleix Vidal, Barcelona are not the force they used to be in the Guardiola era.
The Blaugrana had a chance to make amends in January, but they opted against signing any player in the transfer market. The incompetent transfer decisions are showing their after-effects at present.
