Marc Bartra

[anguy]

Signing both Mathieu and Vermaelen was Bartra's end. There's no football team in the world that can give five centre backs enough playing time.

Not really, one is old the other injury prone. So anything can happen next season. Also the gap in quality is not large, in fact I doubt there's a gap at all.

To the Mathie vs Bartra comparison - Mathieu is better when he has to defend players going outside, near the sideline. He is fast and has long legs so he's ideal choice to stop counterattacks through our left flank. But when he's forced to play centrally against teams that create and keep the ball, he makes a lot of mistakes.

Vermaelen was injured the entire season and Bartra barely played.

Barcelona have let Napoli know that centre back Marc Bartra (24) is not for sale. The Italian club will look at other options. [rai]

Nice. Now Luis Enrique please play him more and give him a chance next season.

Except that Methieu and Verms are LB

Nope. They're CBs. That's their primary position.

According to Di Marzio Bartra said yes to Napoli to join them.

CB Bartra has said yes to Napoli, the Italian club is now negotiating with Barcelona on formula of potential deal (Di Marzio)

 

[Zangash]

Di Marzio?

He's about fifty times more reliable than MD, who claims Napoli have given up...

 

[Flavia]

Di Marzio also saying the deal would be 15m! I hope it's BS, or that some mandatory buyback is present.

Should be a buyback for a few good years if true!

This might be a good move for Bartra, but now in case of an injury or two in the central defence, we'd have to rely on Verminator.
