Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[Xavinho]

Marquinhos is right footed, wouldn't be the ideal pairing with Pique

As are Mascherano and Puyol.

Marquinhos seems to do fine with his left when I see him play anyway.

So reports are that Luiz refused to be subbed in game against Lorient and Marquinhos replaced Matuidi instead. So Luiz is like Messi, he is so good, you can't sub him. Marquinhos will be sitting on the bench for a long time if he stays at PSG.

As are Mascherano and Puyol.

Masch is a fail safe, for 6 years mind you. Puyol could play on either side and even with Gerard, they would interchange often. Pique's strength is on the right which makes a left sided central defender important, even better is a natural left footed defender which is why Laporte has been linked so often

Unfortunately, Mathieu hasn't panned out like we had hoped and Vermaelen isn't looking much better

Mascherano isn't a fail-safe.

Puyol could play on either side

As can Marquinhos.

 

[FCBarca]

Mascherano isn't a fail-safe.

Even after 6 years, he is - just goes to show how versatile and hard working he is. But it's far from ideal not to mention he isn't likely to continue for much longer.

As can Marquinhos.

Puyol can never be compared to Marquinhos

Agent of Athletic player Aymeric Laporte (21) called Robert to explain that statement about rejecting Barcelona bid was mistranslation. [md]

Or maybe he called to ask why there is still no offer from Barca

 

[Barcaman]

MD always with dem insider stuff.

Puyol can never be compared to Marquinhos

That's not even what he said. He said marquinhos can play on both sides like Puyol. That's Implying they r similar in that particular quality.

Nothing wrong with Marquinhos but I'd prefer we initially pursue Laporte, particularly bc he is left footed and had La Liga experience.

Mathieu isn't terrible but he isn't consistent and Laporte has a lot more room to grow. As for Vermalen, I never wanted him from the start so I'm not surprised by what he's shown here.

Glad we are letting Pogba go. We have wage issues enough as it is. Laporte and maybe Dybala and we'd be set for a hot minute.

 

[serghei]

Dybala will cost almost as much as Pogba by the time Juve will want to sell.

 

[Jombi]

Laporte is having a bad season so if we're interested in him we should be able to get a discount. I dont think he'll be better than Mathieu and Vermaelen in his first couple of seasons though, but I could be wrong.

 

[Co0ter]

He wasn't great last season either. No idea why so many people like him so much. He's been average and often in bad form the last two seasons. I don't get it. Marquinhos has proven so much more than him- plays better in his league and has CL experience. That is just a direct comparison.

Laporte's 50mil price tag is hilarious.

 

[FCBarca]

That's not even what he said. He said marquinhos can play on both sides like Puyol. That's Implying they r similar in that particular quality.

Comparing to Puyol, being able to play left or right doesn't require drawing that parallel. Puyol is an anomaly, Marquinhos is a greedy bench player
