Sure. Montoya showed quality since day 1. He should play way more than last season and I wish he plays the CL group matches.

You know what? I'm not even going to disagree with this. It's true and it's a fair point. I'm probably one of Montoya's biggest supporters around here and I'm always the first to say he should play ahead of Alves, but I agree. It's still true and arguing that Montoya is better than Alves is maybe a bit over the top, I'll admit. It's just that, considering who Daniel Alves is, and who Martin Montoya is, their respective reputation and their careers so far, this truth is a very sad truth. He may still be better than Montoya, but formerly "the world's best RB" being better than a youngster who got promoted to the first team a year ago isn't really something to brag about. He's not nearly as good as he should be.

Selling him wouldn't be a good idea (not enough time to find a replacement, etc), but Montoya should start IMO (especially considering that the other fullback is Alba). Even if Alves is a slightly better player, Montoya's better defensively.

I love Dani but he hasnt been nearly as effective since Messi went to false 9...and thats been a while. Alba is the future concerning wingback, and a proper defensive RB would make us the strongest- and that isnt Montoya quite yet. A player like Mathieu but as RB would have been ideal.

Sure, let him play vs Elche, Zaragoza, Granada. Against top teams he's a liability, just like Bartra is. They both can be very clumsy in defence and I mean VERY clumsy.

Orobitg (agent Montoya): "Inter and Napoli have been in touch, but he will stay and the renewal talks start next week." [sussidiario]
Orobitg (agent Montoya): "He feels the club believes in him. Martin is the back-up for Alves and he'll work hard to convince the new coach."
The contract renewal of right back Martin Montoya, now contract until 2014, will include higher salary and higher buyout fee, now 20M. [as]

I'm glad to hear that, but seriously, what's going on with him this year so far? He wasn't even making matchday squads until today, let alone getting out on the pitch.

Maybe this guy is simply not good enough.
I mean Tito was obssesed with his 100 points so it was the same XI over and over but Tata seems to be open minded yet Montoya is still not playing.

Why do they not let him go then? Seems Tata is too comfortable with the current squad and hesitant to make changes

I don't see that, Roberto and JDS have been used so I can see Montoya and Bartra getting some game time.
