Stupid posting. He hasn't been phenomenal right from the start, true. But he has proven that he is a capable defender, definitely an improvement over Dante.

He doesn't fit the barca profile unfortunately , but vermaelen does.

He is a very good defender, and he will prove it at Bayern.

Getting a red card doesn't mean anything.

David Luiz got 0 red card in his career apparently and everyone will agree that he's average.
TS also got a silly red card because he grabbed a referee by the shirt. Oh my, TS must be the worst CB ever.

I asked some Bayern fans about how Benatia have been for them since joining, this was before the red card btw:
Me:
Them:
I wish people actually came here and praised players when they do well as well instead of coming out of their holes only when a player does badly. A bit like in the Messi thread and the idiots who said he is like another player now, declined, should sell him and fund other big signings etc. who are AWOL when the little dictator does well(which he does almost every game, so they only come to his thread to BS once in a blue moon)
Not saying Benatia is untouchable or a saint, and I do understand that people are tired of all the overhyping of him during the transfer window, but to write him off whenever he does badly and stay in your hole whenver he does well is quite ridiculous and that's not only limited to him or Messi.
As for criticizing then do so, it's the "he's rubbish, useless, past it, should be sold etc". comments which are strange.

Overhyped? He was one of the best defenders last season and 30M for such a player is pretty much a very fair price. Other teams rather pay 20M for a 31 year old (who is doing quite well in all fairness) or 10M+ for someone who might never play. Or David Luiz who was 50M.
As for Dante I find it strange how much he declined after Pep came. Under Heynckes people thought he was better than Boateng and in general one of the best in the world. Maybe because Heynckes didn't play his defensive line as high as Guardiola? Don't know really.
I don't really like this overused phrase. Doesn't fit Barca? He plays for a team that actually is the better Barca atm and has the best Barca manager in history.

Go easy on him. He was being sarcastic and was making fun of those fools that kept saying Benatia doesn't fit Barca.

Grabbing a ref's shirt doesn't say anything about his defensive skills though...
Of course Heynckes didn't play such a high line so the defense in general looked better. But Dante has never impressed me very much, he also made silly mistakes under Heynckes, e.g. in the CL final. And Boateng has actually improved dramatically since Pep took over.
