Claudio Bravo

[FCBarca]

Bravo is just six foot, 2 inches smaller than Lloris and almost 5 inches smaller than Hart. Set pieces from the likes of Payet and Coutinho would likely find it easier to put the ball out of his reach?

Still judging players by the antiquated metric of height alone? He's 33 years old and has won every trophy, apart from the WC, there is to win, I suspect he can handle himself in any situation

 

[Plain Speaking]

Who gives a shit if he was confident with the makeshift defence? It was a preseason friendly! Why would he be on autopilot?

Pep clearly sent them out to work on building out from the back.

Caballero wasn't comfortable with the centre-backs, he's also been trained to clear his lines, but it doesn't matter because the coach clearly asked them to change. Why did Caballero manage to do what the manager asked, while Hart was completely incapable?

The defence was a complete shambles in both halves against Arsenal. Although they scored more in the 2nd half they should have scored more in the 1st, but for poor finishing. Perhaps if Joe had started he would passed it more short? All the keepers in the PL pass it long it probably will take time for Hart to adjust to a style of play that is currently alien to him.

It won't take him a while, because Guardiola is going to sell him ASAP, because when played against Arsenal he showed absolutely no intent to change at all.

 

[Kompany is King]

Bravo certainly likes to distribute the ball quickly.
Positive.

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Not sure about this one at all

Not only are we likely giving up a hg spot in the sqaud, the guy is also coming to the twilight years of his career as well

Still, I fully trust pep in his ability to do what's best for our club

For the CL it. Makes no difference as we already have four HG players in Sterling, Delph, Stones and Clichy

Your just not getting it, are you?

 

[SWP's back]

Luis Enrique when asked about Claudio Bravo: "I'm interested in Supercopa."
Barcelona boss, Luis Enrique: "There are so many assumptions and many conditionals. I want three goalkeepers in the first team."

And they've just agreed terms with Diego Alves.

It's done.
