i think if montoya had scored that cracker against madrid, his star status would have been so big that alves would have already been sold by now. its a real shame.

Our problem was we played two attacking fullbacks almost all season long. Neither Alves or Alba are great at defending. I'm perfectly ok with having an attacking fullback who has the pace to track back but isn't the strongest defender....it's just we can't have two of them....
Our second issue was Busquets, he pressed way too high all this season and he doesn't have the pace to track back in time. He got caught up field too much and our make-shift defense was by no means in any shape to cope with it. He needs to have a coach discipline him and remind him what his role is.
If we can get one strong, fast CB (I'm ok with Silva or Marquinhos), develop Montoya as a defender RB and get Busquets back on track we'll be in great shape imo.
I always loved Alves, but I wouldn't mind cashing in on him...kills me to say it. He hasn't been the same or nearly as effective since Messi left RW. The majority of the reason why he did so well was because of his fantastic link up play with Messi- and that just doesn't happen anymore. Alba is younger and seems to link up well with a couple of our players, especially Iniesta. It's time for a defensive RB, whether that be Montoya or a purchase, I prefer the La Masia talent being nurtured into one.

But Neymar Co0ter. Anyways I don't mind Alves leaving either. If anything Neymar, Alba, and Messi will provide the new linkups

This is certainly a reason now. TS needs to put in a request asap.

a cm that is more mobile, faster and stronger than busquet and as tall as busquet will really improve our team defensively.if we sign ts and not change anything tactically bayern will still defeat us maybe not as much 7-0 maybe 5-3. If we sign ts and use him with pique and play against bayern and alba and alves are in the opposition half as usual and bayern break on the counter and they have 5 of their players:ribery,robben,mandzukic,muller and schweinsteger against 3 of ours:ts,pique and busquet,tell me how they wouln't come out on top
If we sign ts and still continue with the same tactics our defense will still be weak and not average and if we sign marquinhos/use bartra and we improve our tactics defensively by having a defensive Rb and a box to box mildfielder to replace xavi beside busquet or double pivot in mildfield our defense will be stronger than if we sign Ts and do not improve our tactics defensively even if we play ts and hummels as cb our defence will still be weak although if we sign ts and improve our tactics defensively our defense will be strong and let not forget thiago silva does not usually pllay with two attacking full back at psg or ac milan and when he did at brazil one of them stayed back and also they use double pivot.whoever we sign as a cb it is actually tito that will decide whether our defence will be strong or weak by improving his tactics or not improving it.and the reason we don't want to improve our tactics defensively is just that we want to show-off to the world that we are the most attacking team.it is funny how if we want to buy any player for a position what we prioritize is their ball playing/technicality and not their actual ability in the position we buy them for e.g if we want to sign a keeper to replace valdes we will choose the one with the highest pass sucess rate out of all the option.
There haven't been any rumours about a RB or CM in ages, so I highly doubt Tito is going to change his whole defensive set-up.
as long as tito does not change the tactics our defense will still be weak no matter how good the cb pairing is,even if there is a way to make puyol younger again and u pair him with Ts and do not improve the tactics and do change some players the defense will still be average at it's best.it like if u have a system of 4 and only one is good,the system will be weak overall.
