Alessandro Bastoni

He would look just as good as other defenders in Bumsi's system but thankfully we are broke and can't afford him.

Best defense of La Liga. Looks more than solid with a 18 y.o. + Gerard Martin as main CB duo and depressed and missing Araujo first backup.
 
Yea... "Bumsi's" system is so bad an 18 year old, Gerard Martin, dogshit beta Araujo, permanently injured Christensen and I'm going to hold you and get a red card Garcia won 2 titles.

The man should be getting a lifetime achievement award for winning La Liga with that defense yet people be crying for some reason.
 
Just give him a tall fast LCB and forget about it. Hansi will cook with him.
Guy is giving us an all timer LaLiga season which only Messi's god level team could achieve once, with the likes of Martin, retired Cancelo, Catwalking Kounde.

Fuck all this.

Tall and fast isn't a guarantee. Araujo should be perfect for this system but he is far from it.

Araujo has never been an intelligent player. His speed is perfect for a high line since he can adapt to counters quicker, but his low IQ and beta tendencies dont allow it. Some people just cant deal with the pressure.

He'd be much better in a system where the defense sits back and chills, particularly the CBs. Even then he'd make stupid mistakes, just likely less often.

I personally think it would be very dumb to sign a high profile player in defense and then go to next season without a striker and without a proper backup on the wings.

Mainly because this is a offense-oriented system. If we have big problems both with defense and attack, we should prioritize the latter.
 
Bastoni in Barça would very quickly become widely accepted best CB on the planet

But I think this is another great decision by Deco, who is honestly doing a fantastic job lately

We need to go big in attack. Buy a striker and winger that we can field in any big game with no fear and regret

CB is also a must, of course. But it doesn't have to be someone who will smash our summer budget by himself

The summer after, then we should go for Bastoni. Unless the low cost CB we bring proves to be perfectly capable for his role
