Puyol the wall
sent-up-the-bomb
I don't think the market has real quality CB's that we can afford,we didn't try to sign Hummels when we had the opportunity and I guess no one left apart from Martinez though i prefer we stick to our young guns.
Javi Martínez
- Thread starter Aryagorn
- Start date
I know he'd cost Alot but hummels is ideal. Young talented natural cb, who is good on the ball. Tempting him away from Dortmund will be hard though, they don't want to let go of him. He would be the long term replacement for puyol as we know he is aging and having injury troubles.
I think when going for puyol replacement we should not settle for second best, as it's our long term future in that position, and puyols shoes are hard to fill.
We can't be compromising and Martinez would be a second best option. The position is too important and puyol needs a replacement without too much drop in quality
It's a bit like the signing of cesc, seems expensive and unreasonable at the time but he's Xavi replacement along with thiago (I know he plays striker but that's only because Xavi is still around, he is being groomed as his replacement, look at the Leverkusen game for example)

I would love to see Agger in a Barca shirt. But he just keeps on getting too many god damn injuries.

I thought Puyol was a midfielder, man winger striker and ends up as one of the best CB's.
Edit:Apparently he started as a Goalkeeper and due to shoulder injuries he switched to striker and then he joined La Masiah and switched to play as a Defensive Midfielder and then played as a RB for the B team and finally ended up as a CB.

+1, we gotta count on bartra as a back up defender. I think he is worth it.
I would cry if we spent fort million on him. It would be even worse than the Ibra deal. He is not world class and never will be at centre back or dm. He lacks the pace or positioning to cope in our high line defence. He also gets sent off alot
He would work in the premiership against teams that whip it in the box so he can head or boot the ball away, not against a team with any technical ability though
If. We want a puyol replacement it has to be the best available one
No compromising

I agree with people who think this guy is not the right option for barca... he is way too slow ( not only physically but also mentally in terms of reading the games at the back), he is kind of clumsy in my opinion! Ive seen him many time miss timing his tackles or miss calculating his interceptions. He gets dribbled way too easily and when he is on the ball it takes him forever to make up his mind and play the ball.
I just think he is not the right person for us, whether its £35 or £20 or £15! he is just overrated.

However Javi Martinez is best as a CM, he's learned the game playing as a box to box player, not a defensive one.
