Barca Transfers and Rumors

My single concern on Azpi is his age, same as Alba. Quality-wise he is miles ahead of Jordi.

Azpi is trash

Difference is Alba has been heavily reliant on his pace all his career. Azpi has never been very fast, so he should last longer longer at the top compared to Alba.

Azpi is too old. We should strictly be looking at players under 30. That way we can sell if they don't work out.

He is levels above any of our current defenders... plus he is ultra competitive and extremely professional

This.

Who is currently better than Azpi from our defense? Exactly. No one.

Younger players cost money and are usually a gamble. Azpi is a verified quality.

Re-sell value shouldn't be the issue. But a 33 year old coming here for his retirement kind of is.

It's not always the case. If the player is professional and high quality he can still bring something to the team, I think Azpi is that type of player. Look at Thiago for example with Chelsea. Great signing.

Cannot hit a barn door from ten yards. Morata has all the tools but lacks mentality. We don't need another mental midget here. I'd rather get Icardi.
Why does Xavi have a weird obsession with Spanish players?

 

[Andresito]

Thiago Silva is a good example that could theoretically compare to Azpi signing for us. Not against signing him on a 2 year deal.

Giovanni Van Bronckhorst is a good example, although he arrived younger compared to Alba/Azpi around the age of 30, he owned his spot. That was different age back then where players at 32 where considered grandpas, football has changed.
