Álvaro Cortés

Seems pretty clear Cortes is going to go out on loan vs true chance with 1st team under Flick. Fort will get a chance but will have to really impress to avoid another loan. Toni & Xavi cases are more a question of what depth we have by the end of the transfer window - still think Hamza & Tunkara are going to turn heads this summer

Still
 
I felt like he could be pretty decent. Can definitely see him starting ahead of Martin in half a year if given time.

I have a sneaky feeling he will be our "New LCB" signing this summer :censored:

The more days pass by, more this looks to be the case.

He was excellent yesterday. As I said in the match thread, if he can produce even 80% of what Cuba has, we have a winner. He looked like an upgrade over Martin.

Cant say much about his quickness or recovery pace, if he is even decent in this front, which Cuba isnt, I think we might have our perfect duo for Flick ball in house.
 
He ain't it. But Flick likes him.

Can grow alot more somewhere else for a season.

Campos is the one at the B.
 

He wants out of the B team.
Loan would probably be best
If we don't get a CB, he'll probably be promoted. And I see Flick actually preferring him as well over Araujo, who will then become what, 5th, 6th CB option? And that fucker still won't get the hint and leave. :lol:
 
Seems to be our LCB 1st team signing. Flick has informed him.

GG Bois, there goes our hopes of a LCB or a good CB being brought.
A Retarded bum, A wheelchair patient, A player doubtful if he's even good, A teenager playing 4th div.

Thats all you get for a Club of our Stature. And fans will be happy with this. How the mighty have fallen.

This is Barca. I will never be mad at the club for trusting promising La Masia talents. The more the merrier.

From what I have seen, Cortes can develop into a 50m worth CB just this season.
 
I see more potential in him than martin, significantly more.

I'm here for it. Let's goo kid

This preseason game, and last years Alaves game have shown enough for me to start over Martin. Honestly.

Guy has some serious talent in finding line breaking through balls.
 
I mean considering Martin was the most potential-less prospect we ever had, it is easy to see higher potential in anyone.

Martin is a dedicated soldier though, that got him into a place not even his loved ones ever imagined.
 
To be fair, Martin from accounts helped us reach 1:1.

Cortes on the other hand looks like he could be useful too. Looks like a proper brickie, so maybe he is doubling down in the Stadium rebuild.
 
Alvaro Cortés will replace Ronald Araujo. FC Barcelona has decided not to sign a contract with anyone in place of Uruguayan. The situation in defense is clear and the possibility of bringing in a new player is ruled out. Players such as Cuti Romero or Aymeric Laporte will not join Barça. [ @sport ]

Big chance for him if true. But the club really has to know what its doing here... if he's not reliable our options are shocking.
 
Figured as much.

But if another opportunity like rodri pops up I'm sure they will look at it.

IDK who that defender is though. How is saliba's contract looking.
 
It's a good way to keep prices down and negotiations hush in the media.

If there is anything we learned from Ninjeco, it's that don't believe what you read.
 
Flick is probably thinking

RCB cubarsi, Christensen
LCB martin coates. Lol

Then we have Garcia has back up. Everything hedges on Christensen being fit and cortes being good.

I trust the latter to happen more than the former, but I pray Christensen can stay fit, even though he's right footed he is use to playing on the left.

I still think planning with Christensen is some kind of practical joke or reality TV. No other explanation.
