Isn't that why Neymar was signed?

"Neither player is exactly blessed with pace." (referring to Puyol and Inigo) Isn't one of the reasons we're interested in him his pace?

Can't say I agree. He isn't anymore, but he dominated Ronaldo for so long in some of the earlier Mourinho/Pep Clasicos. He seems to have completely lost it now.

I think he was, that's why I was so disappointed the Alves-->Monaco rumours started to disappear.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12691/8759764/Transfer-News-Real-Madrid-insist-that-Pepe-is-not-for-sale :( Anyway, for me CB options are Sakho or Inigo. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/basics/spielervergleich/basics_158863_47713.html Inigo advantages: - Speaks Spanish - No...

Wasn't there an option to increase his wage and therefore increase his buyout clause, or was that just some paper-talk?

And he keeps Azpillicueta whose only Spanish cap was when Iker was injured...

Nah, that's a myth. I saw a picture claiming it, did some research and it's not even close. Anyway, via transfermarkt: 2012-13 (LA Liga, CL, CdR, Supercopa, CWC): 13 2011-12: 16 2010-11: 16 2009-10: 20 2008-09: 30

Loving the positivity, despite media trying to make it seems like he's a flop due to his poor performance vs Bayern (out of position, and, you know, vs Bayern)

Yup. Perhaps worse than The Sun if I'm being honest.

Do you guys think Inigo Martinez got significantly more expensive because Sociedad are in the Champions League?

United. He'd be their best creative midfielder, then again Moyes isn't always one for creativity.

Even the runs out wide, which should be easier to execute (due to more space on the wings rather than through the middle), he isn't making as well or as often. He's not where he was 3 or so years ago but probably still better than last season, but next season I'd like to see him being rested...

If it's fixable and very good when not broken, why not?

Thinking ahead, Wojciech Szczesny would be a decent replacement if he keeps being used for less than ~70% of games (66% this year, 25/38) and Pinto indeed leaves/retires in 2014, with Szczesny's contract ending in 2014.

So annoying, I remember when he broke into the team I was SO impressed with how well he positioned himself to stretch opposition defences and how well he read the game for his age, not to mention his dribbling. Would be a real shame if his Barcelona career is over. Selling him to Ajax (where he...

Benitez wants David Luiz at Napoli Good, wouldn't be too excited to see him come...

This is really frustrating, he does the right thing by announcing he'll leave early so we can get a good replacement then undoes all that and costs the club 10-15m. Meanwhile you had Ter Stegen learning the language for a good 6 months, and all of next season we'll play him with that in mind...
