Because of Alves' idea to stay, Barcelona consider to close a deal on Fiorentina's Cuadrado that would be activated in 2015. [sport via tmw]
Disagree here,Bartra is good CB but I don't think he deserves to be a starter at Barca at all,he lack both quickness and height needed while lacking strength too,he isn't a dominant defender either .he is overall a good one but for a team like us it takes more than being good tbh
Bartra lacks a bit of strength but definitely not quickness and height. He needs to bulk up a bit and new Puyol is ready.I don't understand this. Why is Bartra considered slow and weak in the air? He put in a really good showing when Pique was injured.

You act like every defender is gonna stay injury free with no suspension or poor form the whole aeason, which is very unlikely. Barca lost Pique for nearly 2 month at the most important stage last season. If there was a better replacement for him maybe we could get better results. Thinking about IF signing another CB stop Bartra from getting enough playing time is small time thinking.
Bartra's main weakness is definitely lack of physicality and strength. He needs to fill up his body a bit because right now he is liable to get out-muscled and pushed around a bit as an everyday starting CB.

Looked fine againt Diego Costa & Benzema.
I wish we could re-sign young Rafa.
For competing in CL we definitely need another CB and that too a good one. That is not my problem, my fear is even if bartra is best of all 4 he might not start. Pique will not be benched. And the defender we are buying next might not also. Because you dont pay 40M to sit him on bench. It is just my fear, lucho might give him start based on performance. But the "marque" signing will have more chance than bartra imo. I like bartra and I think he can be a great CB if the coach puts enough confidence. I hope lucho starting lineup is performance based. If bartra performs badly I won't complain but if he puts awesome performances and still does not start I will be super pissed.
Your fear is for the sake of an individual, not for the team. Priorities should be defined here and mine is different than yours. And believe me, when we're half through the season and we find it tough to replace the injured, suspended or off-form players your priorities will change too.
