Third time asking you "who'd you prefer for CB that would actually be available"? It's not that hard to answer...

But you keep avoiding the question :lol:

There are a number of better defenders that Barcelona could sign that are better than him from La Liga alone. The likes of Moreno, Rami, Fazio, Botia are all better players and none of them are even the standard Barcelona need.

That wasn't the q I asked: Once again "who'd you prefer for CB". And if that guy is available for transfer or not. That's all I want to know. There's no need to get all out-of-sorts about it :lol:

All the players I named would be available and I would prefer them to Amorebieta. Despite not wanting any of them at Barcalona, perhaps Moreno worth a gamble but thats about it.

I didn't ask if they were in a different league :lol:

As far as I can see Hummels is the only guy who may be available out of a long list.

The point I was making that it matters little 'who is available' but how good they are and whether they would bring anything to the team.

Amorebieta is not on Barça level. Thankfully he's not on the list of possible cbs.

And who would you personally like at Barça that would also be available for transfer?

Next summer the priority should be our defense...

We definitely need 2 proper CBs, one of them must be a real top class player and the second can be younger and preferably from La Liga...

We also need a backup LB, because Adriano is so injury prone and Abidal is still a question mark...

And finally we need a young GK if Valdés stays, or a top class GK if he leaves...

After all those spots are secured we can worry about who ever should reinforce our front line...
 
Out of the reported CB targets, I think Kompany would be the best option. Obviously not gonna happen though, unless he hands in a transfer request or something and then is willing to take a pay cut.
I think Vertonghen might be the best option (would have made a lot more sense to get him last summer, but oh well). Subotic might be a good one as well, though he hasn't really been linked with us. Hummels might be a good option, but I'm not sure how well Pique and him would work. Inigo Martinez is cheaper than the other options so he could be a good bargain. I do hope management go for the best option though, and not necessarily the cheapest.

As for Amorebieta, he might be a decent option for depth since he'll be free. We definitely shouldn't get him as a starter though.

Montoya can play at LB. We may be able to get a CB who can play there as well (like Vertonghen). Don't think LB is too big an issue.

I don't think we need any new forwards. We do have the best attack in the world, after all. Villa's getting a little old, but he still has a good few seasons in him. We might want to look for his replacement next summer, but he'll definitely be good enough for next season. We have Tello and Deulofeu coming up as well.
