Javi Martínez

Overrated.

I don't think so at all. Who else could sub Busi and add squad depth elsewhere?

I'd prefer a natural centre back, and he's too good to sit on the bench.

He played CB regularly for Athletic during their great EL run in 2011-12, playing a similar style to our own.

Not to mention aerial ability

He won't come. Plus we'd have to sell Song first.

 

[Androutsos]

I'm doubtful but the rumors do seem un-ordinarily strong...

True. We cant risk losing the almighty Song.

He's way too slow to play CB. Have we learnt nothing from our past experiments of converting DMs to CBs?

Some people just don't seem to get it. He's a good DM but our board will play him CB and his lack of pace allied with that of Pique and Busquets will frequently get us exposed.

Funny rumors these days. Like Pep would ever let Martinez go. We couldn't sign Ribery at our peak as Bayern (even then) weren't a selling club. But now, now.. we have a chance. Right..

Exactly, why talk about a transfer which has zero chances of happening?

That is what some journalists get money for

Pep is only coach.
