Do you GUys seriously think bartra can monopolize a centre back position for Barca? I mean, he is good, but he is no varane, and Barca can only accept such class. Its pointless for a young player to spend his career on the bench. I really want him to succeed though, because he got the right mentality. Very professional.
Bartra rarely plays. and when he does he usually plays with Dani Alves on his side which is just a horrible *defending* pairing.

please
i advise all of the new "barca should buy 1 CB 1 CM 1 ST this summer" screamers, to go back 10 years and watch videotapes of Puyol as a new young defender, Xavi , Iniesta .. none of them was bossing or even playing close to their current master-zen-magician style level.
it takes time
it takes consistency, regular time play, for a long long time..
the main reason Barca bossed the field for the past few years was the triangle of 3 La Masia original players, Iniesta Xavi and Busquets.
i dare any team to get 3 of the best midfielders today and try to replicate what we did for the past 6 years.
and going back to Bartra again
i can easily see him bossing our defense like a crazy man in few years.. IF he gets the automatic starting spot for now. enough with this "every game different pair of defenders" its starting to get on my nerves.
