He made alot of good interceptions and challenges before the sending off aswell. The sending off doesn't make him a bad player Zqa, it just means he's a kid who got a rush of blood to the head, it wasn't even a red card challenge really. He played in the U-17 European Championships a couple of weeks ago and was put in the "ten future stars" category by UEFA* where alot of players in the past years have gone on to be known as big talents (Fabregas, Hazard, Bojan, De La Red, Granero, Rossi, Merida, Cristiano Ronaldo amongst others)

He should be in the B team next season tbh. I think we should definitely keep an eye on him though and hopefully he'll be ready to full in Tarzan's spot in the backline when retires. Guardiola obviously rates him as there were alot of older more experienced palyers in our youth he could of picked instead. Considering he hasn't played alot of football and has been out for 10 months he's been damn impressive of late, both for our youth side putting in match winning performances for Juvenil A, plus the european international U-17 tournament, and in the first team.

* - "Much was made of the fact that defending champions Spain, despite the best efforts of midfielder Koke and striker Borja, did not score a goal during the tournament, but they did not concede a one either and that has a lot to do with the performances of centre-back Muniesa. The FC Barcelona youth team member - who already competes with players two years older than him - does not just resemble Carles Puyol in looks, displaying a calm presence in the heart of the defence. Left-footed and strong in the air, Spain coach Ginés Meléndez made a point of highlighting his contribution after he returned from a ten month injury lay-off." - http://www.uefa.com/competitions/under17/news/kind=1/newsid=830804.html

I haven't said he's bad. Not at all. Just said, I don't think he is ready for La Liga football yet. All I'm saying.

And cool. Didn't know that.

With a guarantee set in stone we'll get him back after Rio and Vidic make a monster of out him!

I want to see more of him :-( Hopefully he's with the first team at pre-season.
Would love him as a sub too. Way better than Sanchez & Cáceres.

Isn't this: his better thaen Caceres and Sanchez talk, not a bit premature?
He has hardly played one full half with the first team...

Alright he is a very promising player, but he has still a way to go to make first team. Pep will get him in the first team when he's ready.

In the 30mins he played i've seen him do better stuff than Cáceres & Sanchez.
But I agree, it's early.

He will have plenty of chances. The red card will be a bad memory but he'll grow strong because of it.

No doubt rob palmer will mention this every time muniesa plays. "A player likened to puyol, gerry, but his debut didn't go down so well when he got a red card.."
