Sigh, why are we having so much bad luck with the injuries/ilnesses (Iniesta) =S

buj Said,
I guess that's why Pep want Chygi as a CB back-up and maybe Puyol's future direct replacement as Marquez, I think will no longer be considered as reliable (fitness-wise) even as a back-up. He IMO will be released when his contract expires or be sold to those MLS teams that rate him highly before that.

I tell you guys, we were very lucky last season with Marquez. I'm afraid he will have a lot more injury problems this season. (like in the 2007/08 season)

Zeli Said,
already today it's easy to predict starting lineup against Athletic...but maybe pep is going to give a rest some players before GamperCup

Manolo Said,
We got to sign a centreback!
Look at Marquez. Now he's getting old and get some injuries!
Next time he's maybe out for 1 month?
I would go for Chygi, he's cheap but can only play in Liga.
Otherwise I would fo for Evans in Man UTD.

This is one of the players that some fans are trying to make the point that we do NOT need any more CB . Some people want to count on him as a midfielder as well . He is 30 years old who is injury prone and makes some of the truly DUMB-ASS decisions when put under pressure . Just like Abidal(another dumb-ass) he tends to give away dangerous free kicks and penalties and earns himself yellow and red cards . Not only when playing for Barça but for Mexico too !!
