Rafael Márquez

[Mr Hulot]

Pique is a good passer but nowhere near the level of Marquez. I miss our good defenders...

I guess you could say that Hummels is a german, oversized version of Marquez

Except Marquez was incredibly quick on the turn and had a knack for good amount of sliding tackles, being more of agile mould making him a perfect partner for Pique. Then all went to tatters due to his injury from which he never recovered.

Maybe a stupid question but what does Marquez do now? Can't we persuade him to join the coaching staff at La Masia or something?

And since Milan don't want Maldini, might as well get him here as well

 

[Galning]

I think he still plays in Mexico

Yep plays for León; would have played for his original (and youth) team Atlas but their directiva is screwed up and corrupt. Would love it if eventually he became a defensive coach for Barca.

Rafa Marquez (ex-Barcelona): "Barça needs to sign a centre back so they can stop improvising a makeshift defense." [md]

Team up with Puyi and join up the Barca as coaching staff man... God knows we need good defenders

Great defender, good for him that himself and his current club (Leon) are the League Champions. He's also a great leader for the Mexican national team, hope to see him this year at the WC in Brazil.
