Fontas...really?
I saw him in person at Barca's training session in Los Angeles, California this summer. My first thought was.."There is NO way this guy is a footballer. He must be a recipient of the Make-A-Wish Foundation (a kid with a terminal illness allowed to play with his heroes for a day)."
He looked completely out of place on the pitch. It was obvious that he is not very well coordinated. His physical build is more similar to an American Footballer or a Rugby player.
Watch the 1st half of Barca vs Seattle Sounders. Fontas started as CB. He made a very bad marking mistake and Ljunberg almost scored because of it. Xavi was clearly upset by that. From that point on Xavi did NOT pass back to him one time. I think Xavi knows Fontas is a terrible player. From what I have seen, Fontas's responsibilities on the pitch are very limited. He is there only to supply the defensive midfielders and stay back.
It almost seems to me that Barca is creating a false hype around Fontas and hoping that they can entice a bid from another team in a year or so.
Let me clarify my point before I get bombarded with insults.
All I am saying is that Fontas is NOT a player of Barca quality. I have a much better feeling about Muniesa.
Fontas may do well at some other club where he can use his physical size. Perhaps in the Premiership.
