FC BARCELONA

Strengthening of the rear axle, a priority for coaches.

Milan's Brazilian Thiago Silva wins integers as future option for Barça in the next remodeling the workforce and the Athletic Club midfielder Javi Martínez.

In the case of player 'Rossoneri', as a central defender fully adequate to the 'profile Barça'. In Martínez, calls attention to its versatility: it is as effective as center-back as central midfielder, another province that must be strengthened as it is to dispense a little closer to Sergio Busquets, who played most of this year and also can dispute the Olympics after Euro.

The main demarcation is one of the most need strengthening and Thiago Silva, despite Adriano Galliani made ​​known to Barça that is not for sale, a name with more options in the list that handles Andoni Zubizarreta, having a style of play that makes it one of the central with better profile Barça.

Both he and Martínez would require a heavy financial investment by Barça, which is difficult to cope with the signing of the two. However, the restructuring of the workforce includes some transfers, which itself could make an effort, at least one of the two.

Abidal absent, the template currently has four plants. One of them (Fontàs, with ruptured anterior cruciate ligament) injury until next season, and Piqué is low by the head injury he suffered against Chelsea.

Puyol and Mascherano are both available in Vallecas central apart Bartra and Muniesa, who have been constantly coming in calls but just have been involved in recent months. Only six minutes Muniesa against Getafe.

Next season can not be repeated this panorana.Puyol will need higher dosage than has tenidoen the current, as a matter of attrition.

At 34 years, begins to be in a phase of his career that takes a lot of rigor in managing their minutes, as Xavi, another player who is dosed effort.

So, a center-back is a priority of the technicians to have a balanced staff next season. Thiago Silva like a lot, but the navarro Javi Martínez has the advantage of its versatility.

The club have money to make a reasonable investment and transfers to occur will help meet the needs of the team of Tito Vilanova. (via MD)

Barça have on your list to four names among those who elect to transfer stellar 2012-2013.
Bale and Van Persie are international options, but attentive to the way Basque: Javi Martínez and Muniain.

Barça already working on a template reinforcements in itself very difficult to improve the quality of a championship team. But there are always areas for strengthening and that the club azulgrana is now focusing its efforts on finishing the season fighting for three titles, yet without neglecting the planning of next year.

In the Barça 2012-2013 will transfer pump, make no mistake. In principle, get out of a list that runs the club with four big names. Both are from the Premier League, Gareth Bale and Robin van Persie, and the other two are the sensation of the year with Athletic, Javi Martínez and Iker Muniain.

Logically, unless their status as players have nothing to do with each other in terms of tactical performance. And as the economic context is one that is, the equation between market and technical need tell which of them can land at the Camp Nou.

The amount that the Barça prepares to sign around 50 million euros, it would have to add any transfers. The greedy pieces of the market is not cheap, exactly.

The first one, Bale is a very long journey left back who plays for Tottenham. His attacking qualities like much in a while, but Barça has always considered that district was covered with Éric Abidal flawlessly until it was confirmed that the French had to stop again.

Circumstances force and Bale is more like the lefty market. His problem is under contract with Tottenham until 2015 and that its value exceeds 35 million euros. Its advantage is that Bale just said that "if I called the Barça, I hear."

Van Persie is a temptation on the market. The Dutch top scorer in the Premier League takes months and months stalling Arsenal to renew his contract, which expires in 2013. Its disadvantage is in the 28 years of his ID.

The Basque route also takes account of Barça. A Javi Martínez is seen as the alter ego ideal of Sergio Busquets, capable of exercising midfield or central. A contract until 2016, a buyout clause of 40 million and the little will to do Athletic rebates are their problem.

The same is true of Muniain, the star also plays Athletic 'to Barça'. The skilful playmaker is under contract until 2015 and a progressive clause that would reach 45 million. (via MD)

Javi Martinez (Ayegui, Navarra, September 2, 1988) is one of the players in Spanish football fashion that is shining with its own light, Athletic of Bielsa. Not surprisingly, his great season has not gone unnoticed by the club, has his eyes on him for his quality and its versatility as it can play in midfield or central. Its high-clause, 40 million, makes the transfer, but the possible sale of Keita to Milan could facilitate the arrival of Javi Martínez to Barça.

Go great season they are doing you and Athletic ...

Javi Martinez (JM): Yes, we're fine the two. I am in tune with the team, which is a good time and in a good position in all three competitions. March to get to live on three fronts is something to be proud, we're having a good season.

At the moment, which already have insurance is to play the final of the Copa del Rey. By the way, to fuss with the venue for the final where they would want it do you play?

JM: We prefer the largest possible field because we feel sorry that many fans can not keep an appointment so pretty. It seems that the Bernabéu is not possible for whatever reason and I think next largest are the Calderón and Mestalla. In the fit more people.

A final will be against Barca. Go great game, right?

JM: Yes, but it is also unfortunate that the two times we've reached the cup final we face the best team in history. But hey, is there, and if that's because he deserves it, but it is true that this year we are more confident of victory two years ago. I'm not saying that two years ago we were not confident, but now is no better team, we are better and a little closer to them.

Speaking of Barça you go into the future plans of the azulgrana equipment. Something to say?

JM: Now do not say anything, that at the end are always things going, the world of football has these things. Although it is very nice to talk to you in the newspapers. Let there be computers that you want to make you feel valued and that is a function of what you are doing and to say you're doing things right. I am very happy to talk about me, but now I'm very focused on what I have, that is enough, so try not to give much attention to that.

And in the selection, with eight of Barça would not have talked about it?

LM: (laughs) No, do not talk because in the end, if fichasen to all players who will sign, phew! I recently came Muniain future, then spoke of Bielsa ... eventually talk much, but templates have 50 players.

Well, imagine that this summer, the Barça will be for you, but finds that its clause is very high, 40 million, do you think that could derail that operation?

LM: I do not think there's anyone who wants to pay so much for me. I see too much money for me. (Laughter) I do not think it's worth so I do not think that is worth 40 million.

Back to reality, one of the aspects that you like to technicians Barça is its versatility. Are you where you are more comfortable, as a midfielder or central?

JM: Look, I've been back a little lost the position because it was so novel, it was a situation that had never played, he did later, but never behind. It took me a little because, as I said, was something lost for not having never played there and it makes you not being used, but little by little you are molding because I've been playing games and work in practice. Now I feel very comfortable, but if one day the boss, or whoever, decides to get below, I'll be delighted.

Speaking of Mr., Do so influenced Bielsa this Athletic?

JM: Of course that matters. Having a coach like him is a privilege for us, we have a coach who is among the best in the world. We're trying to exploit. From the beginning we have learned a lot. It really is a crack.

Before, you said that this year's Athletic with more confidence going to the Cup final, is Bielsa which gives them such confidence?

JM: Yes, it gives us confidence to play the ball, get the ball from behind, always trying to take possession of the ball. That we have noticed a lot because what he wants above all is to have possession of the balcony.

What is undeniable is that since Argentina is on the bench, Athletic is fashionable. So far, only exceeded in the presence of Barca players between the absolute and the Olympic. The azulgrana and Athletic have 11, eight.

JM: That's a sign that things are doing very well. The players are doing well and hopefully we can be in both the Games and in the European Championship.

As you seem to have many numbers to be in these two competitions.

JM: I do not know, I do not know if I will be in Euro, in the Games or both. For me, playing two tournaments so big, so important as this is a dream and hopefully we can be in both.

What about crossing against Manchester United in the Champions League?

JM: It's a prize and a dream for us to play at Old Trafford against Manchester United. Also for the fans who will leave Old Trafford small. That gives us much grief because rarely has played and will play Athletic at Old Trafford and it's a shame they can not all go.

By the way, what do you think of all that we are talking about the front center of the selection?

JM: I do not think there's any team that has a front like ours. The bad luck is that Guaje, our best example to the goal, is injured, but I'm sure he will recover and will be with us. (via MD)

The name of Javi Martínez Athletic midfielder this season is showing his progression as a central figure in the agenda of Barça in capital letters. The international, 23, has long like Pep Guardiola and technical secretary, but the circumstances now to be motivated when it is most valued. The only possible departure in June Keita would free a place in midfield and although the club will maintain its commitment to the young talents of the quarry, Navarre would be an ideal reinforcement. It is enshrined, but has the hunger for titles which came last season Cesc Fàbregas and Alexis.

Indeed, Arenys midfielder and Tocopilla striker are two recent examples that can help open the door to Javi Martinez for a similar price, but fast payback for their proven performance in the league, long contract and predictable adaptation even more since landing in San Mamés of Marcelo Bielsa, who shares with Pep tactical concepts.

The problem with this world champion in 2010, indeed, is its high buyout: 40 million euros, with a contract that expires in 2016. Athletic no economic emergency that require you to sell and its staff players tend to be comfortable, among other things, because in Bilbao are well paid and current. In addition, the club wants to extend the Biscayan big time sports lives on today as a continuation of an exciting project with pillars and Fernando Llorente, Iker Muniain and obviously, Javi Martínez. Fighting for a Champions League place in la Liga, Cup final on against Barça and in the second round of the Champions League against Manchester United, Athletic live crowd excited and could exert public pressure logic to prevent the sale Javi Martínez to Barça or other powerful clubs that follow the steps, such as Madrid, Manchester United or Chelsea.

If Barça decides to take the step, not only snatch a hypothetical luxury reinforcement Florentino Pérez, would sign quality, strength and versatility. Bielsa prefers to use him as centre-back, but his natural position is the midfielder that even reaches goal with danger, normally pieces, but also with the ball glued to the foot. Sergio Busquets give oxygen, but also Piqué or Puyol. Indeed, in the concentrations of the selection Javi Martínez is related to the Barça players. For some sources close to the player indicated that if I had to leave the Athletic your preferred destination would be Barça. (via MD)
