He is much better than Fernando or Delph.. of course he is better than what we have. He would improve the squad. Probably better than Otamendi or Stones in CB position too

Javi is a twice better defender than Otamendi and Stones.

Is he a bit Javi Garcia?

Javi is a twice better defender than Otamendi and Stones.

And Kolarov.

Isn't Javi the mysterious defender that DeployLeroy referred to last night?
Fantastic news if true.

You've got to be kidding me. I'm 53 and the better part of 17 stone, and I could still outrun Javi Martinez. Not what we need in any way shape or form

All so has a lot of champions league experience which fits in with what Pep wants in his squad.

It's not always about the speed.

He's better than all of our defenders except Kompany, and by a considerable margin, he benched Boateng for large parts of this season.

The problem isn't his quality, it's his injury record. Still, for a reasonable price it's worth a punt.

Then you could also outrun Busquets and play for Barcelona, am I getting it right mate? I am all for signing fast agile defenders, but it's not the most crucial quality for a CB.
