Which CB would you sign for Barça?

hnnnnnnnnnnnnnggg

There are quite a few good cbs about but very few who can control the back four, guys like Hummels are tops CBs but cannot control a backline. I would like someone that is a bit agressive, like Kyriakos Papadopoulos a bit of a no nonsense defender but he is also pretty dirty like Pepe

thats why im saying with the right guidance from the coaching staff.he has the most things we need but not completely ready.if we manage to make him play by using more his mind than his legs and heart we will earn a world class cb IMO.

Barcelona's centre back list: Hummels, David Luiz, Kompany; Vertonghen, Agger, Vermaelen; Garay, Inigo Martinez, Marquinhos [md]

Hummels, Kompany, Vertonghen or Martinez to me.

Kompany would definitely be my choice. Not gonna happen though, unless he wants to leave City for some reason.

Besides Kompany, Hummels or Vertonghen would be the best ones IMO.

Martinez or Marquinhos might also be good, though we need someone more experienced IMO (Martinez might be experienced enough, but Marquinhos is 18).

Martinez is one of the reasons Sociedad are in 4th place right now. If he isn't one of the best options, I don't know who is.

Vertonghen on the list when de Boer was dropping him in our lap and we could have had him for 12 million. What do they think Tottenham will ask now? Let me guess, Lloris is on their list to replace Valdes

Yet another list. I really hope Barça don't sign Vermaelen, D Luiz or Agger.

I think we need one very good centreback and a talented kid.
Then bring in Kun if Alexis/Villa leaves along with a very good young goalkeeper and thats it.
Why arent we interested in Sakho by the way?

I have a problem with Hummels coming since he is too much like Pique rather than Puyol or a speedy strong cb

 

[Edman]

Kompany would be a great replacement for Puyol, imo. But he will be too expensive.

First, don't believe anything the media says. Every season is just one string of celebrity names after another, particularly during international breaks, and then we end up signing Song completely out of the blue and no newspaper ever had a clue.

Second, we are probably not going to sign Sakho, Kompany, Luiz or Thiago Silva or any of the many defenders from uber-rich clubs because we aren't actually made out of money.

 

[Irish_Cules]

Interesting point made by someone here ( can't remember where or who) about the potential Hummels-Pique partnership. I think we all have reservations about it due to the lack of pace but as somebody pointed out Pique and Marquez formed a very strong partnership for a while, both playmaking centre backs who are not exactly blessed in the pace department.

Me, but I guess Rafa was experienced and a leader so that helped.

 

[Messi+Eto]

Honestly I'd go for Kompany, but that's mission impossible! Hummels won't be a good buy. . . . For a lad his size, he plays like a sissy, sorry to say. Subotic is much better IMHO.

I see what you did with the list there. . . . . And in as much as i agree with you, I am sorry, but I don't think we will be signing A softie like Hummels as a CB either.
