    Cesc Fàbregas

    The club needs to keep both Cesc and Thiago.

    Martinez and Mathieu. We need more than just 1 new defender.

    I wouldn't mind him if we purchase another defender in addition to him. We need defenders and a back-up plan if/when the club incurs injuries.

    I'm reading Mundo Deportivo and we're linked with Vermaelen again. DO NOT WANT.

    Iñigo Martínez

    He's a good player but you guys are acting like he's one of the best defenders in the world. I've watched him plenty with Real Sociedad and the u21 Spain squad, he's not worth 30M.

    Iñigo Martínez

    We would probably have to activate his full buyout clause of 30M to get him.

    Thiago Translantara

    Isco is Iniesta-lite.

    He can definitely add a lot of depth and versatility to our squad. A little awkward on the ball at times but I like his grittiness as a defender. He really linked up well with Alba when they both played for Valencia too. He's more Abidal's replacement than our solution @ CB though.

    UEFA European U21 Championship

    Thiago bossed the midfield as usual, you can tell he's the leader out there for La Rojita.

    Jeremy Mathieu

    We'll have agree to disagree on Bartra, I thought he looked soft and absolutely dreadful paired up with Pique. I never thought he looked great with Barcelona B either. I really don't see any reason to move forward with him. I was hoping the club went after 2 new CBs this summer. I really don't...

    Jeremy Mathieu

    Bartra looked terrible. Mathieu is a much tougher, grittier player than he is. I would be much more comfortable with him out there than the soft Bartra if/when the club incurs injuries. The MD report claims he can bought from 4 to 5M, not 10M. I really don't see why adding depth to our club...

    Jeremy Mathieu

    He can add depth to our team but I don't see him as a CB option on a weekly basis. He would be a great replacement for Abidal and can play at either CB and LB. He can be used when the club incurs injuries and it's bound to happen every year at some point. If he's signed, the club still needs to...

    It doesn't matter what order we get them in. I would prefer if we get Mathieu and a world-class CB. There's nothing wrong with adding depth to our squad, we need a CB and a replacement for Abidal. In the event we can't get Silva or Luiz, we need a back-up plan. The Mundo Deportivo report that...

    Inigo Martinez would not come cheap. I'm not convinced Real Sociedad is selling now that they qualified for the CL. I believe we would have to activate his full buyout clause of 30M. Real Madrid just had their 20M bid for Marquinhos rejected. I'm sure he would be expensive too and you know...

    We can't wait around another summer hoping Thiago Silva falls to us in our lap. We were stuck playing Bartra against Bayern Munich. This can not happen again. I really hope the club doesn't think Mathieu is a CB option on week-to-week basis though, he's much more suited @ LB. If they buy him...

    I watch Valencia play all the time. He puts in a good shift. Not flashy but he's tough. Same with Rami, who had a bit of a down year because of injuries but that's why he can bought cheap too.

    Eliaquim Mangala

    He won't come cheap. I'm not convinced he's better than Rami, who would come much cheaper.

    I bet we get Mathieu for less than 8M. That's not a bad buy at all. He'll be our 2nd option @ LB. He can not be our CB solution though. If the club buys Mathieu, we might as well buy Rami too and see how much of a discount we can get buying both. If they can get both for anywhere near 16M, I...

    I think Mathieu would be a decent replacement for Abidal. He's not a world-class defender but he's always stuck me as a gritty player. Our defense can use some toughness from time to time, especially with Puyol out so frequently. Rami on the other hand, would be good for 10M but the club could...

    Spain vs. Brazil would be an amazing Final.
