Andreu Fontas

[Co0ter]

I heard that Fontas played most of Sunday's game as a LB? I'm just wondering how he played- I was only able to catch a few minutes here and there due to visiting priorities.

Fontas isn't very pacey but I think he definately has potential to be a CB...just curious to see how he did on the left as well.

I thought he did well given is experience.

He's been reserved. Wasn't getting forward much and avoided risk passes. I got an impression he was all about not making any mistakes.
One or 2 times, Callejon gave him trouble but overall I think Fontas did ok.

 

[Co0ter]

I think he played really well so far as a CB. I don't see him having the qualities (dribbling, speed) to be a LB...I think it was just Pep trying to keep players fresh and not risk injuries.

 

[Seamus]

He did good, as said he didnt risk any mistakes but thats not a bad thing either.

Fontas now officially 1st team player according to sport.

FONTÀS, FIRST 'SIGNING' FOR DEFENSE
FC Barcelona already has its first 'booster' for the season 2011/12. Andreu is Fontàs. The defense of the subsidiary will be the first team sheet this season and his buyout will be 30 million euros

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Very promising lad, like the look of him. Think that rules out any lingering hope of a new signing in this position.

[Cal-FCB]

Pleased for him, he should get more minutes next season, Pep is clearly trusting him to be an adequate backup, hopefully he continues to progress nicely.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Think he will mate. Was fortunate to attend the Rubin Kazan home game last year where a number of youngsters/fringe players were started and he really stood out

 

[LaMessiah]

excellent news! One of the young standouts from last year... good on ya Barca!

 

[Aasim]

Must have shown a lot of promise during training last year for Pep not to recall Botia.

 

[LaMessiah]

Think that had to do more with missing out on his cheap price than anything else... Botia will be in Barca next year
