Mata would be like a poorer quality Cesc Fabregas. His name shouldn't even be discussed.

He played so few minutes because he's an awful player. As DonAK said, he got humiliated by 3rd division players in the copa del rey. He had one scene where they made him panic with just a slight bit of pressure and he sent a low cross through his own (crowded) box. Sao Paulo fans wanted him...

This response should be reserved for the likes of Vermaelen, Arda, Adriano, Douglas, etc... Not Bravo.

Any top flight RB in the world who can dribble would be better. It's not like Vidal and Roberto are the pinnacle of fullback quality or anything.

It's well known he refused to accept a loan Lucho wanted him to go on. It's not too much of a leap to think that made Lucho give up on him as a prospect. And you can't really determine Grimaldo was a flop at Benfica based on a wikipedia article written on a 5 month spell at a new club in a new...

Well the thing is, he hasn't had much opportunity. His only really glaring mistake was Grimaldo, but much like Aleix Vidal, he pissed the boss off too much to have any chance here. With Rafinha he was making every attempt to develop him and he really was improving, prior to his injury. Even...

He has not shown even the smallest bit of quality. We offered him on loan for free to any team we could last season and the newly promoted Real Betis was more eager to take Montoya on loan and pay his wages. I'm fairly certain every fullback our B team has had in the last decade has been better...

Respectable. My last two have been Roberto and Pique. There are way too many Messi's and Neymar's, I agree. :lol:

But... why?

I've seen numerous tweets from Barcastuff and similar accounts saying he won't be, and the club is trying to give him away for free (To no avail, lol), so it'd make sense. He doesn't actually play for Barca.

I dunno who else could fill the role, but there's no way Reina is the only keeper in the world capable of being our backup. I just have a general contempt for the guy for reasons I can't explain. Us being linked with him every single summer from the moment Valdes announced he wasn't going to...

I don't think Douglas will even get a number, will he? The club won't even be registering him if we can't get rid of him.

Why should a plebe like Aleix Vidal get the 22 anyways? If Umtiti wants it because of Abidal, he should get it. Vidal only has it as a randomly assigned number...

Being the starting goalkeeper is about as impressive as being the starting keeper for Real Sociedad. Pinto was actually the best backup we could have asked for, which is probably why he stayed so long after his decline. I've just never been a fan of him, at all. He got benched for Simon...

Bravo being the better keeper is a myth from 2015. It's like saying Casillas is better than De Gea (Yes Bravo's mistakes have been on Casillas level lately) at this point. He plays more often and more consistently and is still the one who can't keep up a consistent form. A role reversal should...

I thought it was 15 games. I'm pretty sure Munir broke 10 games in Lucho's first season but he wasn't registered until last season when he got promoted.

Those who don't play shouldn't get to own a number, imo.

*melts* You got it, son.

Depending on how Marlon does in pre-season, we may already have a replacement.

This reads as if you think Samper is useless and has been so for years, but can hopefully turn it around the way Roberto did. Which is ridiculous.
