I agree with DonAndres that Sergi is a great utility player. He has the ability to anywhere in midfield. Which midfield role (Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets) is he the best to slot into remains the main question. He just hasn't had the time and experience yet to make a position his own. I do hope he...
Why does he need to do so much more when RIGHT NOW he beats his markers almost every time, puts in solid passes/assists, and is just too much for the opposition to deal with?
That's what we need and he does it well and keep in mind he's only 20. With more time he'll evolve and add more to his game.
What I would like to see is Del Bosque call Montoya up to the senior squad because he is 1000x better than Arbeloa.
Azpilicueta is pretty good too but I'd like to see Montoya & Alba as the R/L backs.
I know what you mean but I think it's down to his age and trying to impress so he continually gets the nod to start matches. What I love about him is his all or nothing approach every time he gets the ball. He's always looking to beat his marker and either go for goal or put in a killer pass...
Your post is basically saying what WE REALLY NEED is Pep Guardiola.
To that I agree. Not that I don't love Tito but I just feel Pep shouldn't have had to leave in the first place.
Well Martinez is a defender so you're not going to find many vids of him compared to goal scorers. A defenders...

Excellent article on why we SHOULD NOT waste our time or money on Ney-Ney
Ney I say!
Glad a lot of other cules are seeing that this was such a huge missed opportunity.
Song was what 20 mil? Vertonghen cost Spurs only 11 at most.
Mascherano could have been backup at CB/DM and we would have had a solid defender to partner Pique.
Hopefully we buy a proper CB this summer...
God I hope we don't waste our money on this kid.
No European experience, nothing but a handful of tricks, will dive when those tricks fail, sooo over hyped it's not even funny anymore.
(outside of Barcelona) Reus, Hazard, Lamela > neymar
Yeah that's the problem with Nike vs. Adidas...the stripes. One of the best things about Barca kits is the simplicity. I think that would be ruined with the 3 adidas stripes on the shoulder/arms.
I love El Guaje!
He was injured not crippled. Villa is a brilliant striker and I hope we keep him.
We can replace Alexis with Pedro, Tello, Cuenca, Deulofeu but what Villa does for Messi's game is irreplaceable.
Pique 2 years ago had my vote for best defender in the world. He was a brilliant hybrid defender. While he is still one of my favorite defenders he is lacking a lot of the things that made him great. His positioning is good, but he is really bad in 1v1s. He almost always fouls, goes to ground...
