Athletic 1-2 FCB

Since we all agree how bad Zubi is as a director, Galliani announced he's resigning from his position in 2 weeks :pep:

I know that it's gonna be tough to find a player who's a realistic option and meets the criteria we're looking for. Benedikt Höwedes, 25, tall, his team's captain, been an international for over 2 years now. I don't think that he would cost anything over 15m. I know he's never been mentioned on...

I don't know. I don't like the idea of him being past it but it's the closer thing to be true. I can't depend on a player that his form has been a roller coster for about 2 years now.

So you would settle for a long term solution. Waiting for a young CB to develop into a world class one. Well I wouldn't. I say we have a young CB, pair him a current world class CB and then get Balanta and work on him.

He was banned for 2 games because of this.

Yeah, youtube. Neymar the striker was called a youtube player and 80% of people were questioning him (myself included), and now you're trying to sell a defender on a youtube clip. That's convincing.

Well, if those names get eaten alive by the strikers you mentioned, then Balanta will be just as bad when Bartra played against Bayern, a young defender with yet to be shown potential playing with some really bad defenders who can't even do a basic coverage in set pieces and gets beaten in air...

What is it with you and Dante? He's been playing in europe for almost 10 years now. The risk we've been taking with Cbs is the experiments we did. Busquets didn't work out, Song failed (he was mainly bought to cover 2 positions), Chygrynskiy, Fontas... non of them worked and only Mascherano did...

Did you see me suggesting any name there? How is an established CB must be 50m+? Established CB isn't only Thiago Silva and David Luiz and likes of those 2. Balanta looks ok from what I read. I've never seen him in action so I can say nothing on him. Just let me remind you that the last bought...

We need a powerhouse for CB. We have a young CB who's got massive room to improve and a couple of good and just good CBs. Now we need a big name, an established defender that will make strikers fear him.

Good words for el capita. This loss must be a lesson for months to come. The only good thing that it came in a meaningless game.

This was his 5th Champions league game for Barcelona, conceded goals for the 1st time after 4 CL clean sheets.

He was indeed. A joke in the 1st half yet manned up in the 2nd half. Could've scored a cheeky back heel goal.

Gonna be really tough if he starts at San Mames and he needs to show what's he made of.

Not our best game vs Ajax but: Neymar: looked dangerous with the ball. Needs to work on his finishing. Iniesta Xavi

Looks like it. A shame.

http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/por-que-cuenca-aun-jugado-minuto-2870570 He's still in pain. Doesn't sound good after those 2 operations as he still doesn't feel comfortable in his right knee.

If he doesn't start, he should at least 30+ minutes.

FCB 3-1 Ajax
