Hope he starts tomorrow

Hope he starts tomorrow

I think Tata will do him the favour (Puyol loves Milan and Maldini etc.).

 

[barcanuck]

Puyol has looked rock solid last time around! Keep workin it Tarzan!

 

[Galning]

Roberto looks scared.

Roberto looks scared.

He should.

 

[Catorce]

Not in the final match squad

Hopefully he fully recovers and comes back as good as before, hope this rest does him well.

Tata's taking his time with Puyi. I think it's for the best, he'll be really need 100% sharp in April/May.

Exactly what I meant. No need to rush him now with the chance of it backfiring later in the season.

That's true but I still expected him to be on the bench. Oh well , I gues he will get some playing time against Betis.

Del Bosque (coach ESP): "Puyol is doing very good, he's getting playing time at his club. We count on him for the World Cup." #brazil2014

I hope Del Bosque calls Bartra to the NT next time! He's better than Inigo and Albiol!

^Khaled I'm thinking he wants Arbeloa out of the stating spot and will start Puyol as RB : Puyol - Pique - Ramos - Alba

 

[Stric]

I love Puyol and all but I don't think he should play as a fullback unless it's absolutely necessary.

 

[Flavia]

His pregnant gf. They're expecting a girl.

His pregnant gf. They're expecting a girl.

A girl to slap around mini Pique Milan. In other words we can expect a normal couple

 

[Antimadridista1]

Fair to say all the injuries have taken the toll on Puyol. Clearly not the same player he once was, would be a risk playing in big games.

This is what I was saying
