mistype...meant starting

So you would be comfortable with a starting back-line of Pique, Umtiti, Mascherano and Marlon? Is that what you're telling me?

You're missing the point. Right now we have 2 real defenders who I would feel comfortable taking on the likes of Madrid, Bayern, Juventus, etc. They are Pique and Umtiti. Who are the other 2 that would start next to them?

I am not talking about backups. I am talking about the starting four. Mascherano is no longer good enough to be starting.

For the fourth spot, sure...Right now we have Pique and Umtiti. Who is taking the third spot? I am not talking about potential transfers, but as of right now. Mascherano? Mathieu? I hope not. I don't feel comfortable starting Marlon in our current back four unless we get another solid defender...

What is it with these Verratti rumors? Why do people think he's coming here? He has never given any indication that he wants to leave PSG.

He doesn't have any experience. We just promoted him from La Masia.

Can you imagine how great our organization would be if we had someone like Theo Epstein running the club?

AS says Bellerin will sign with Barcelona, citing RAC 1. We'll know sure enough.

:valverde:

Name them

This is exactly what I came here to post. Watch his valuation plummet. Good luck finding a team that wants him now.

He should be given another chance. After all, he did help us win the treble. A strong signing paired with Rakitic and Busquets, with Iniesta coming off the bench, I think would make a world of difference.

Just make sure we get something for him. Don't let him leave on a free.

cannot be stated enough :p

I know people aren't high on Bellerín, but he's not exactly chopped liver. Getting rid of Turan and adding a RB shouldn't be scoffed at. If this news is true, at least the board realizes there is a problem and is trying to rectify the situation. We could do a lot worse.

I can't even be mad. Madrid steamrolling Juve just shows how poor Barcelona was this season. Madrid would have knocked us flat on our ass as well. Let's not forget the chances Juve had against us but couldn't put away. Madrid has depth; we don't. I expect 3-4 signings this summer. We simply...

Really? I knew he injured his Achilles heel at the beginning of the season and was out for quite awhile. But I always thought he was good enough to play with Iniesta and Busquets.

What the hell happened to this guy? It's like we never see him anymore. Did he have some kind of falling out with Enrique?

Jesus! That is massive overspending, especially for Mascherano and Iniesta! There is no way guys that old and on the end of their careers should be getting paid that much.
