5 - Iñigo Martínez

[Messi983]

A player who acknowledges that he can no longer keep up with the level required to play for this club, be it age or other factors, and leaves before he becomes a problem. I take my hat off to you, Inigo. Good luck!

 

[serghei]

Came as a free player, leaves at one, gave us one solid season in 2 years. Good luck to him. He's 34.

Don't think he would have had a better season than the last one.

 

[Devils]

Yeah but what kind of club let's their starting CB go on a free without signing a replacement? lmao.

This shit is comedic.

 

[Barcaman]

Another Laporta and Deco loss.

Oh, just like with Nico, poor puppy didn't know Barca would get screwed.

What now? What's the plan? Losing the pillar of defense and one of the 2 true leaders of the team in already weakest line is terrible news. 10 days before the start of the season. Comedy. And joke is on Barca again.

Fuck off Deco and fuck off Laporta.

 

[Richard.H]

WTF, this kills so much of our momentum. Why didn't he suck it up and play one more season? Surely the glory of winning the CL is a motivator for any athlete. Could even just opt to be a backup CB. Now we definitely won't sign any CB or any other defender.

Absolutely disastrous planning by this club. Should have signed Dumfries and moved Kounde to CB

How?

 

[Barcaman]

Don't buy this "not feeling sufficiently fit" notion.
It's a respectful way to say I got shitload of money elsewhere.

All of a sudden Martinez is the second coming or something.

Preferred if he stayed for his leadership,but not fussed that he's leaving

 

[serghei]

No, it'a good that he goes. Don't want an old player who prefers to play in a retirement league.

You have to be 100% focused and motivated to play here.

You're insane if you think his departure won't have a huge impact. Our defense is the weakest link of this club. What's Flick going to do now? Convert Casado and Bernal to backup CB's? All of Araujo, Cristensen, Cubarsi, and Balde get injured a lot.

Fuck off Deco and fuck off Laporta.

Every year it's a summer circus with that fat clown.

Funny how he has normalized it and people just accept it as if it business as usual lmao.

Not much more than before. Inigo wasn't good enough. If Christensen gets injured for the season again... then he will be missed.

 

[jamrock]

The CB 4 looks less good now, I will admit to that.

But he's 34 and Christensen is back who missed all of last season

 

[serghei]

Inigo started to get overrated. Extremely slow CB. But a decent leader. If Christensen is fit, he's the better player for me.

 

[Richard.H]

Not much more than before. Inigo wasn't good enough.

Please tell me you're joking. Him and Cubarsi were our best CB pairing by a long shot. Let's see how Araujo and Glass Kristensen do when you have to play a match every 3 days with the physically draining Flick system...
