Blaugrana future?
One in 10 Martin Montoya again left out of Luis Enrique's Barça squad
Martin Montoya has appeared just once for Barcelona this season leading to doubts over his role at the club

Martin Montoya has once again been left out of the Barcelona squad for Saturday's la Liga match with Eibar.
The right-back was hoping to pick up more minutes under Luis Enrique than he did last season under Tata Martino, but that has, so far at least, not been the case.
Eibar will be the tenth official match of Barça's season (eight in the league and two in the Champions League) and Montoya's presence has been extremely rare.
In those 10 games, Montoya has played just 90 minutes, in the game against Athletic Club - apart from that, he has been an unused substitute four times and left out altogether in five matches.
Dani Alves has the right side of defence locked down.
The Brazilian has played practically all the games and, on top of that, the club have also signed Douglas to increase the competition for the position.
To date, though, the former Sao Paulo man has only appeared in the draw with Malaga.
In his press conference previewing the match with Eibar, Luis Enrique sent a message out to his squad.
"If someone is not happy with the decisions taken by the person who decides who plays, they know what to do: try to change the opinion by proving yourself and working hard every day to become a more important player," the Barça boss said.
"You can see by the decisions I make, I have confidence in the majority, or you could say in all the players in this squad."
Is Montoya one of those players, though?
At the moment, the decisions of Luis Enrique speak for themselves.

He will soon after the transfer ban ends. We might probably buy some new RB. Lucho does not believe in him like at all.

Montoya is surely not impressing in training.

Which, again, has been a rumored issue about him since the 12/13 season.

I don't get it. If Montoya leaves and Alves is rumored to have not been offered an extension beyond 2015, do we have only one RB, that is Douglas, between at the first half of 15/16 season, and that is assuming we will be able to buy a decent RB in January 2016 transfer window? That's just crazy. First Douglas is very average and not even proven; secondly, what happens if the mighty Douglas is injured? Do we promote B players??

He's not impressing in matches either, so...
