Transfers and Rumours - old thread

[Trickykid]

Inigo Martinez appeared to be better watching them both play @ the U21 Euros.

I watched Inigo play all year and he's defensively sound, he's well aware of the game. He's decent through the air too.

I would prefer Marquinhos. Just because PSG is leading the race for him doesn't mean the race is over yet.

I actually saw it just the opposite, with Bartra looking at least as good - especially considering the fact that he hasn't played regular football the past year or so, unlike Inigo.

About Marquinhos, I'm pretty confident he'll go to PSG. Reliable brazilian sources report It's a done deal already, with PSG of course willing to pay the biggest fee and the player himself wanting to play alongside Thiago Silva. It makes sense, sadly.

Luiz,Howedes,Subotic,Papadopolous. . . . .

No idea why we are not pursuing Papad or Hoewedes they would most certainly not cost us near as much as the others we are linked with

Barca needs a more seasoned player IMO. If not Thiago Silva, there's no better option I see than David Luiz in terms of skill and system. There is no perfect defender.

I think Hummels is great, but he is also prone to shutting down mentally at times and letting runs in behind (same critique for Luiz). TS, Hummels, Kompany and Luiz would be my only serious considerations. Leave Martinez at La Real, and maybe look for him in another year or two when Puyol hangs it up.

A hatchet-man at Barca? Are we that desperate?

A bit of a mental player but he is physically strong, quick and good in the air I generally think he could be a future WC centre back

Mascherano was a hatchet man before he came to us to be fair.

With Marquinhos heading to PSG. . . . He will most likely get paired with T.Silva, meaning Sakho would want out. We should capitalize on that.

Pique needs that stare XD

Another player shipping out , I wonder ??

I can see Montoya being tempted with first team footie with Inter .


@barcastuff: Orobitg (agent Montoya): "Inter interested? There's talk about that for four months now. If they want him, they should contact Barça." [tmw]

I agree about David Luiz . He has everything needed to be the BEST centre back in the world . Just lacks experience .
I reckon playing and training with Puyol will help him tremendously

So whoever we get even if hes not world class he will be just because he trains with Puyol?
