Still doesn't justify that amount of money for what seems to be a bench player



They're playing 3 ATB too, yesterday they had to play Dier there which just isn't that great. It makes sense to buy him, but Def not at that price.

he's probably better than Dier, who is a dreadful butcher. so glad United didn't get him and went for Matic instead. Sanchez is 2.5 years younger too and higher probability of selling him on for much more later.

He has potential that is true, I didn't know they played 3 at the back. Then it makes a little more sense. But the price for a virtually unproven player is madness really.

he was pretty good defensive-wise in the Europa League final vs United - loads of athleticism, strong and quick, and tall enough. but dreadful on the ball, Mourinho's tactics were to allow him all kinds of space because his distribution is poor. Pogba's goal deflecting in off him too though.
if a manager like Poch can help him with passing and what not, he will be a very strong CB.

That, or you have one of your defensive midfielders go back and collect te ball every time he gets it. His main objective should be defending.

might be the wrong thread for this, but what did Neymar do that was breach of contract?

Neymar owes them part of contract renewal bonuses from contract signed last year.
And on top, Barca is asking for 8.5 Mil in damages and another 10% because of delayed payment.
