Rafael Márquez

On his day, definitely. The assist was amazing. He made an almost identical one to henry last season against sevilla in the copa.

 

[FCBNOF]

I still remember that assist, although it was from an even longer distance as i recall.

 

[Benetton]

Marquez should retire at Camp Nou. He along with Puyol were the backbone of defence during span of 2004-2008.

I would also like for Marquez to retire on Camp Nou...

 

[Gnegneri]

Yes, this always reminds me of Rafa.

So suddenly not the biggest one has ever seen ...

Succesful operation:
"The Mexican defender has undergone surgery on Saturday on the internal and external meniscus of his right knee. He will not be rejoining the first team until the preseason."

Bad timing, we really needed him.

and came when he was combining well with pique

 

[Galning]

Our defence will look like a piece of shit @ the bridge.

 

[Esteve]

I've always liked Márquez but he can appear to be half asleep at times. A perfect example would be the chance he gave Drogba @ Camp Nou, that was criminal.

Sure. He makes those blunders.. Just looses concentration. Very annoying..
I guess it's the same deal as with Valdés, when they don't see the ball for 60% of the time, they lose concentration? Maybe?

Maybe so. I'm still fond of him despite those mistakes....

True it´s hard to keep concentration when the ball is in the other half for 80% of the time, then all of a sudden some 60 minutes in the match you find yourself being attacked. No wonder all our defenders are getting injured, probably the muscle tearing and cramps is because they stand still for 30 minutes then they have to make a sprint all of a sudden

 

[Barca_Cunninggate]

I too want him to retire at the Nou Camp

 

[M.L. King]

I too want him to retire at the Nou Camp

He will have to earn this honour by playing better and try to reduce his blunders. Otherwise I agree, it would be nice to see him retire in this club.

 

[Metaphysical]

he'll be off in the summer, probably to italy.

there's no room for him at barca. puyol is the captain and pique is our best defender. milito will be back next season, henrique will probably impress in pre-season, and then there's caceres who is fast across the ground which none of our other CB's are.

were it not for pique we'd still need that calm, composed swagger he brings to our defence. but pique has that and is tall.

plus cesc needs his shirt number.
