he is getting better, but his physical limitations suggest that CNote will never be the defender that his price tag justifies. and really, that's what this all boils down to. will he be good enough to justify his price tag.
Basically.when you say continue to improve, do you mean continue to be caught completely off guard and cost us goals?

rafa is much shorter than chygrynskiy and just as slow. it doesn't stop him from being an absolutely outstanding defender when his brain is on. so far there's been every indication that with more games and more time in catalunya, chysus will continue to improve.
NOBODY is as slow as Chyg on this team, the man looks like he's running through mud whenever he's chasing down someone with the ball.
. But the thing is it's not just his pace that's a problem, from what he's shown he's horribly clumsy, just making thoughtless tackles after being outrun and outplayed. That's a scary combination in a defender.He was good for Shaktar cause his role was to patrol a small area and make long passes. He wasnt expected to be mobile-Barca is different-as a defender you have to be much more alert to the oppositions's counter attack. Also La Liga has more skill and pace and he's not used to it. Glad he isnt playing in CL-he would be a liability.
