I think he means he is a weaker, less powerful version of mascherano, who has better positioning

Seriously guys just look on the bright side - we now have 4 center backs who are at least decent and will compete for the 2 starting spots, yes we didn't sign any big names but that doesn't mean a thing, I mean look at Argentina in the world cup, they had a pretty average defense on paper too, but it ended up being one of the most solid ones. It's all dependent on the manager's tactics and instructions, not the names that they have on the back of their shirts.

yes, keep him to come off the bench.

they were so desperate to keep him, they sold him to us with minimal effort, man they wanted to keep him
Because he was long term injured. He was their holy protector back in 2010/2011 or something like that.

He can be really useful if we manage to keep him fit which I think we'll do because La Liga is not as physical as Premier Leauge.

the board as done the bare minimum this off season, this signing is as unimaginative as they come from a very unimaginative set off people, unless they are trying to be over imaginative and give neyney's pops 40m euros.

He is a meh signing, who may work out, NOTHING MORE.

Not a player, anyone with any good sense should be excited about(has as proven to be the case, given the list of posters who are underwhelmed by this sign and those who are happy with it, just to be happy sake) he gives us depth which we needed, but that's about it.

He is and average defender in every way and a arsenal player, that will come here and flop like 9/10 of them always do, given enough time, why we continue to buy players from them I will never know.

Some posters live the Rosell utopia, and everything this board does is always in line with Barca's ethos and interests. Currently, Verm is recovering from his injury as confirmed in the pressy, it's likely we'll be starting the season with 3 CBs, or even 2 if Mathieu who was left "out of precaution" for the past two games show no improvements. So much for CB depth.
