Mehdi Benatia

[Butaan4barca]

If we get Marquinhos, I hope the increased competition doesn't tempt Benatia away. I mean, he'll still easily walk into our starting lineup, but still...

if benetia comes, benetia will be main cb with pique, with marquinhos problably rightback, cb role, and bartra making 25 odd appearances aswell.

Was the news that he didn't train with the Morocco NT today already confirmed?

Btw, this is the twitter of his agent Sissoko Moussa: https://twitter.com/ms_foot_ltd . When you scroll down on his twitter-page, it's quite interesting to see that the first tweet (on March 15) is a retweet of an EMD-cover linking Benatia to Barca

This is as exciting as the Nerman saga. Almost.

Yeah, like I said, he'll easily walk into the starting lineup. I was just looking too much into it I guess

Yep I guess, it's followed by Benatia's official twitter account.

Possibly. If they sign Marquinhos and Benatia, we'll have an incredible amount of versatility in defense with Montoya at RB, Piqué, Benatia, Bartra, Marquinhos (and Ié) at CB, while Adriano, Bartra, Marquinhos and Ié can also play at RB and Ié additionally at DM.

Why does Benatia write his own first name wrong on Twitter

Roma now ask 40M for centre back Mehdi Benatia (27), which is too much for Barcelona. He's likely to join Chelsea or Man City. [md]

 

[Tomchin]

It's quite ridiculous that Barca with their supposed 120m transfer-budget wouldnt be able to compete with a city that can only spend 60m (correct?) due to the ffp-punishment.

I hope zubi and co don't ruin the summer again by being cheap.
