Alberto Botía

He's gone ...

 

[FCBarca]

There's a buy back clause though, right?

 

[barca96]

3million.
sigh i dont understand pep at times..
why chiggy over one of our own???

 

[Nani17]

Interesting to see him being sold, although if it turns out like De La Red/Granero then it is a good piece of business. Maybe left him get a few more years under his belt before moving to replace Puyol. Close to a Spanish call-up?

 

[barca96]

now i think that laporta shouldve waited a bit longer with botia. perhaps that time we didnt have any buyers for chiggy yet
so they thought that chiggy will be with us for another season.

Botia is a CB,dont think he can play in mid,anyway I like him,he needs to work more to be barca quality but he has it,Hopefully he will return oneday

Raul Albiol for me

How is he doing lately? I don't like one bit that the club is allegedly looking to sign a young center back(Sakho, Vertonghen, etc) Or hasn't he showed the progress he was expected to make this year!? We sure aren't hearing much lately

If we really do sign a replacement for Milito then that's adios for Botia... and he is too Pique-esque to lose out on!!

 

[Trequartista]

I like Botia as well but it looks that Pep prefers Fontas and Bartra,despite Botia being picked ahead of Fontas with the Spain U-21 team being a first choice here,so dont think he has a future here but I wish him the best and hopefully he will be able to make it at a big team oneday as he clearly has the talent,anyway if Milito's injury problems continue,I can see him Going back to Argentina and then we may need a CB who will not block our talents there as we only have Pique,ageing Puyol so I would like to see us going for one young defender(David Luiz would be awesome,one from Dortmund's defender would be good,Sakho would be great)ahead of a midfielder or even an attacker,we will see what happens but I have a feeling that we will go for Coentrao/Bale and/or Llorente this summer

 

[Aryagorn]

Good... Was he the one who stole the ball from Villa when the latter was trying to skin the defender? I thought it was him because he's playing RCB. Anyway nice solid performance IMO
