Pick the new CB for Barça

[xavi_the_Boss]

Should have put Ramos the Card magnet on the list.
Looks like Mangala also picks up quite many.

Those who voted for Luiz... How in the world could he possibly strengthen our defense?

Benatia

Benatia.

Our CB pairing would be : Benatia - Pique, back-up : Bartra. > Also promote a La Masia youngster.

Move Mascherano up to the midfield as a DM. > Get rid of Song.

- Mascherano always as back up CB.
- Bartra to develop, many people doubt him. I know he will make it.

THIS.
and if a CB from Barça B isn't ready we could get this guy on the cheap...

Bruno Martins-Indi, 21 y/o 6'2 - LB/CB, probably won't cost more than 4-6 mil and could prove to be a good investment.

According to various sources the winner of this poll, Benatia, is wanted by United to replace Vidic.

Mangala will be perfect.

 

[Haruko The Goon]

Benatia or Hummels are the two you should be aiming for.

Benatia is an absolute BEAST. about 4 times I've seen him, all 4 times he's a stand out monster.

very very fast for a CB that big and that powerful. Tackles galore.

I'd swap him for any of our current CB's no question. Reminds me of a 25 year old Rio Ferdinand.

So commanding, and looks about 10 foot tall LOL an exaggeration, but he just jogs around as some sort of colossal.

Shouldn't be too hard to get him to join us instead of them. If we actually make a move for him, of course.

1. Mangala or Benatia (chose Mangala in the end, rather have him but would be extremely happy with either one of those two)
2. Balanta
3. Musacchio

You are actually suggesting we go for Bruno Martins Indi? Not saying he is a bad player, but not even near the level of someone like Bartra. And tbh, I'd rather have Bartra sitting on the bench because then we would have better CBs available.

As a backup LB/CB. Bruno has a lot of potential and if he furthers his progression at Barcelona he could become a great defender. He is a low investment/high reward player with the physical attributes (6'2, quick, strong) to give our back-line some strength.

 

[Catorce]

Really amazed at the amount of people picking Hummels and Luiz over someone like Mangala or Benatia...

 

[Tezemery]

Balanta, cheapish, young and brilliant.
