Gerardo "Tata" Martino

[Flavia]

"new list"? It's the exact same players we've seen since one month before the transfer window opened. And somebody tell me, how on earth would anybody know which CB's Tata would like after him being at the club for like 24 hours? This is just BS...

Hummels was discarded by Tito, and silva was on it. He already had a meeting with rosell, zubi and bartolomeu, to give his names. Bartolomeu is in charge of that now.

The cbs he suggested were Vergini and Marcos Cáceres, both from newell's. The res of the new list, according to md, is: D.Luiz(Chelsea), Agger(Liverpool), Hummels (Borussia Dortmund), Kompany (City), Vertonghen (Tottenham), Vermaelen (Arsenal) and Iñigo Martínez (Real Sociedad). Hummels back on the list because Tito was the one who didn't like him.[/QUOTE]

don't know why nkoulou and mangala are not on that list when vermaelen and inigo martinez are,guess it is still the same list;hummels just replaced thiago silva and kompany replaced marquinhos.nkoulou would have been one of the cheapiest and the easiest to get.

Martino (new coach Barcelona): "High pressure and winning the ball back fast are things we want to bring back to the team." #fcblive

Martino (new coach Barcelona): "We want to have the feeling we can count on youth players. Barça has a similar approach as Newell's."

Martino (new coach Barcelona): "We'll try to recover some things from the best Barça, and to add some own ideas." #fcblive

I don't think this club knows that N'Koulou and Mangala even exist, tbh.

Pressing...thank god.I just hope as he said he brings new ideas to the team,we can't continue with the same old way forever.

But I seem to be missing something here - why would anybody have access to our transfer targets? I don't understand, is it posted somewhere for all to see or what?

For him to make this statement, he must have been following the recent performances of Barca. He clearly knows how the team operates and what areas he needs to address.

The more he speaks, the more impressed I am with him. :eusa_think: He sounds too good to be true!

And he hasn't even met the players yet!

No, it's the press and their sources.

i think they know nkoulou exist because we have been interested and linked with him during pep's era but mangala not so sure.

I don't know. I just know that a pacey and young N'Koulou is just what we need.

Odd that he would make statements about what is or isn't needed when he hasn't accessed the squad first hand. Two CB's are needed for sure and perhaps something else in the squad, beyond just being thin, the squad is also do for an overhaul. Too many are too comfortable.

Where is the redundancy is in position of second choice wingers in Pedro, Alexis and Tello. I hope Tata does not take too humble of an approach and wants to work with what is, the squad needs changes.

well said,we need a minor overhaul just like when guardiola was appointed especially in the defensive department;we should sell masch or song, alves,adriano.get 2cb's a tall defensive leftback as backup for alba,puyol and bartra can cover as defensive rightback backup for montoya and our defense is set.

I agree about an overhaul but not the specifics of what you said. It's also unlikely any Brazilian will leave in Neymar's crucial first season.

maybe we should get other brazilians like doria and julio cesar to replace them or some tricky young brazilian winger to play on the right and sell sanchez or a skillful attacking mildfielder,we should cash in on alves,mascherano and adriano and possibly sanchez before their value drops to below 10m.
