Number 6

Considered as one of the most promising youngsters in Italy and sought after by many big clubs like Milan and Juventus. He's a very good prospect for Barca as he fulfills many of our criteria and being Italian has defence hardwired into him

 

[Sívori]

Amorebieta goes for free this summer. I have a feeling Barca might pounce on him.

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

Good shout, I feel Ogbonna is one that's largely gone under the radar since he plays for Torino, definitely deserves a spot at a bigger club.

I think he was in the italian squad for the euros. Big prospect and much potential waiting this kid, I've a seen 1 or 2 matches for Torino and he's been good. Must be on Barca's radar for this summer.

Sometimes I wonder if our technical staff is following as much CB's as we do right now

They're thinking 'can he play in midfield'

 

[Antimadridista1]

He's a very good defender, I have seen some matches of Torino and he makes his team very confident, like Puyi when he's on the pitch or Thiago Silva... Great potential !!!! We clearly should have an eye on him. No one's here have Zubizarreta's number ? lol

 

[Deco 20]

I can't say I know much about him but if he's soon 25 then he's not much of a talent anymore

More like a midfielder who 'can play in defense'

 

[Theconomist]

Why don't we get this guy? He is such a beast. Fast, powerfull, amazing in the air and he wouldn't cost a lot. The only reason this guy isn't very praised is because he plays for Torino. Watch how the big italians teams will sweep him this summer and it'll be another Vertonghen we regret not buying.

 

[Ode to Django]

He is outstanding, i hope we land him.

 

[Puyol the wall]

Hummels-Ogbonna pretty decent

 

[Theconomist]

He would be much cheaper than Hummels and he is much much faster than him too. He also wouldn't mind getting rotated if that's what Tito want's to do. He played 25 games a season in the past 5 ears and considering the team he's playing in (no long cup runs/no europe league) then it means he's missing very few games. (Last season he played 39 games and missed a single one due to booking)

 

[USWAY]

He's good, I know Milan want him.
