Inigo Martínez

[jairzinho]

Even at 34 he would have been an automatic starter with Cuba. Him leaving weakens us if anything unless we sign a replacement.

 

[Porque]

Going from Barca to Al Nasr to replace Laporte who is going to Bilbao is really making things come full circle.

And in a round about way, this move like all our moves, could never have happened without the Bilbao president.

Legend.

 

[MonteCuler]

Good lord what an idiotic move

No, Gerard Martin is not good enough. If we have to play him at CB against a top side, we might aswell surrender the game. And couple good passes against Korean teams change nothing about this fact

I do understand we are most likely forced to do this because we can't register our players. But in that case everything was badly misjudged from the start. Bcz this is a huge loss

 

[MonteCuler]

As long as we get some cash, I'm good.

Christensen and araujo has to step up

How do we know they will step up when we don't know if they will even stay fit

Christensen is a gamble. He can return to normal but his fitness problems can also continue

 

[FCMessi]

IM to Al Nasr a huge loss to Barca.

Then again Barca can try to lose the dependence on IM 1 year earlier.

 

[Devils]

Will be interesting to see how the highline and offside trap will be without him here.

He was very good at leading the backline.

Well Christensen is intelligent he should be able to handle it

Araujo maybe not but he can compensate with speed

And Martin, well... maybe attackers will bounce off his ears

 

[Barcaman]

Inigo coordinated the high line, yelled at Balde, whoever didn't listen. His words. Beyond defending and passing, it's a big loss for team spirit too.

It is a big loss.
He was the actual leader from the back. And then Raphinha from the front.

We will surely miss his grit and passion. Massive loss for us.

 

[Porque]

Aye, he channelled his inner Ramos for half a season.

Will go down in Barca folklore, and didn't stay long enough to become a villain. Good lad and good luck with the bag.

Konate, Guehi and Upamecano are without contract next year.

We need to get on of this for free.

Saliba and Dias without contract 2027.

None of them is a left-footed LCB.
And Guehi is a midget. We should prefer 1.88m CBs.

For me, the ideal CB whos kinda under the radar and wont cost like 70-80m would be Schlotterbeck.
But if we don't want to spend on a CB and will be fine playing a right-footed CB as a LCB then any of the above free agents would be perfect.

Except Guehi guys a midget.

Why does he specifically have to be a left-footed LCB?

 

[Nello]

Why does he specifically have to be a left-footed LCB?

A left footed LCB can more easily and naturally access more passing lanes. Helps build up. Cuba’s passing is also better when he’s played on the right.

 

[vuji_31]

Beggers cannot be choosers.
Sxhloterback seems good be always injured
