The fact is that we need a long term judjng by our defence problems.We should look for something better.Im sure Bartra won't have a place here soon,just will get few minutes.And Samuel doesn't fit our style of playing.

We need to find someone better ofcourse, but if we buy this dude + a world class great defender i am happy. Still it doesnt make sense at all..... lmao
Which exactly are realistic world class options at the moment?I think the most options for us right now are players with potential.Or if Tata knows someone good so he can bring.
Nothing surprises me with this board. Trying to cheap their way of spending money. If they honestly think they we can win any trophies with a weaker defence than last season, they have another thing coming.
So far they've spent nothing if you take into account that we got 20m for Thiago and 2.1m for Villa.... plus all the money they've saved on wages with letting so many players go this summer. Oh, and they're paying for Neymar in installments.
So far we have an injured Puyol, a Pique who doesn't give a shit half the time, a 5ft 9 Mascherano, a 5ft 8 Adriano and an inexperienced Bartra as our cb options at the moment. There's no point sticking Busquets and Song in the cb role, because they simply can't defend. Bringing in a couple of really good cb options would actually up Pique's game while giving us better options. Bringing in 2 slow cb's who won't suit our game is seriously not going to win us many trophies. Also, I love Xavi but they guy is probably going to be more injured this season than last season. If they sell Cesc and don't replace him, I feel we won't win anything.

Best midfielder around
He's won't be free. He signed a one-year contract extension last month.

Thats true though. Maybe Tata knows some unknown amazing argentine defenders?? Thats where i am secretly hoping for.

Their scouts are just amazing, you have to take you hat off to them.
If Barca had scouts like that combined with La Masia...
MMhhhh, do you believe this offer ? Hamsik + cash for Verratti ! Doesn't seem realistic, even more when we know De Laurentiis.
I hope Barça interest for Samuel is fake too, it would make non sense.

Hamsik? He told like a week ago that we wants to be the Totti from Napoli. Don't think thats true tbh

Dunno if it's true guys.
What I know is that there's no way PSG wants to let verratti go.
Also, check the verratti thread. His agent TALKED about a very BIG offer from Napoli that Nasser rejected.
He didn't go in détails, but I guess there's something since his agent made this official comment.

Actually yes, I think he will be worse. Because he's probably five times slower than Bartra, I guess.
And yeah, it would be another great example how we treat our canteranos in the last year - we sign a 35-years old Walter Samuel to take Marc Bartra's minutes. Great, really great. Maybe Thiago took the right decision after all.

Nobody's taking anyone's minutes. We are (at least) one CB short. Bartra should rotate with Pique, occasionally, and the new CB should be a regular, and rotated with Puyol and/or Mascherano. I'd prefer no Mascherano at CB at all, but... Anyways, Bartra cannot be a regular for the time being, and rotating him with Pique should be enough this season. The new CB shouldn't get in the way of that.
