4 - Ronald Araújo

Please don't talk to me if you don't understand football. Having Araujo on your team will guarantee you that you will have problems against pressing teams. You will often lose balls in transitional phases near your goal, and then in 2-3 cases out of 7-8 even defenders with elite defensive skills will not help you. Only luck and a good game of the goalkeeper. Football has changed. Many teams use aggressive pressing. Yours defenders must be good at passing, both under pressure and off pressure.
The only one that succeeded from that list wasn't even signed as a CB
Masche +
Umtiti was goos 2 seasons before .....
Jeremi - was good bench option. And his 2 goals vs Madrid and Celta won for as La Liga.

That makes it two in a row. Somebody here praised him for his last match too.

Have a feeling at least for Uruguay he's going to keep playing there due to a lack of options other than Damien Suarez as well.
Martin Caceres use to do it but the guy got old and has been pretty poor for the last couple of years. So Araujo could very well end up being Uruguay's Versatile defender for a bit while Godin/Coates and Gimenez are the CBs.

Araujo is a definite starter for Uruguay IMO. However, dark days ahead for that team with the entire golden era squad getting closer to retirement.

Bald fraud is trying to poach him

If City really comes for him Barca is screwed... No chance we can make that counteroffer.
Sounds like the typical contract renewal kind of rumours that usually appear.
Saying all that, I do think that if we could get an astronomical transfer offer (top 10 CB sales of all time) then we should consider selling him and recruiting a more ball playing option. Seeing as we are deadset in our style and Araujo has serious positional flaws which are currently not offsetting his lack of ball playing.
But time is on Araujo side and he will probably still develop a hell of a lot, just more quicker in a team that suits his style more like Man Utd (who has been rumoured).
