Well it's fairly clear that we will need to buy at least two new defenders over the summer, as Montero will probably not sign another contract with the club. Moreover, with the three other CB's we have shipped out in January our backline looks rather thin. Top prospects in my books:
Luis Perea (Atletico Madrid, 26 years old)- Colombian centerback who plays right next to Pablo in defense. A strong, fast, smart defender who reminds me of a more physical version of Thuram. I have seen him play the past two matches against Albacete and Barca respectively, and he absolutely owned Etoo and Ronaldinho today. Right now Perea looks like a world class defender.
Pablo Ibanez (A. Madrid, 24 years old)- Spanish CB who has become one of Spain's best stoppers. Not particulary fast, however he is very strong and good in the air. Both him and Perea look like two of the best CBs in La Liga.
Andrea Barzagli (Palermo, 24)- Italian CB who leads the Guidolin's defense at Palermo, and was very successful at shutting down our Juve on Saturday. He did not give Trezeguet or Zlatan much time at all on the ball, and looked very solid. He is the most promising Italian CB after the Maldini and Nesta era IMO.
Miguel (Benfica, 26)- Portuguese RB who helped Portugal reach the Euro 2004 Final. He is very adept at attacking and not bad in defense. Certainly a better choice at RB than Zebina...
Rodriguez Gonzalo (Villareal, 21)- Argentinian defender who was linked with Juve more than any other defender last year. Gonzalo is a very strong defender who does not have any glarring weaknesses. Looks like a good enough player to replace Montero.
Jorge Andrade (Deportivo, 26)- Class Portuguese CB who led the backline along with Cavarhlo at Euro 2004. Andrade is world class stopper who might leave Deportivo over the summer.
Right now my favorite is Perea, as he looks like an up and coming world class defender.
