Oleguer is a terrible player. The only reason he is still at Barca is because he is Catalan, just like their goalie Valdes. Both terrible, but both kept for their Catalan roots.

i just do nt see the sense in placing one of europes best CB(whether we like it or not) at RB to accomodate other players. it was not just recently either,puyol has regularly been shuttled out wide by Rijkaard. this,for me,is foolhardy and just about any fool in the world could see that he is barca's best CB by a mile
out only center backs atm are legrottaglie and chiellini. stendardo is here on loan and wont be here after july. criscito will come back but he still is too inexperienced to play first team. mellberg is decent and free. perfect 3rd choice center back. moggi would be proud of this deal. so whats the problem?
for not having adequate cover and using their best CB
Valdes isn't a terrible player. Sure, he's not anywhere near Casillas, but he's still "good." Oleguer isn't that great but he's still a capable player defensively, sort of like a younger version of Birindelli.
It seems like whenever a Barca player is brought up, he's either "crap," "shite," "terrible," or "overrated". There is without a doubt a hardcore bias against Barcelona players on this forum and it's getting pretty childish. First it was Ronnie, then it was Eto'o and Deco, and now it's Marquez and Milito.
Seriously, people, grow the fuck up.

Well I don't hate Barcelona and I can be objective on this one. They are a great club with respectable history, quality football (though not the best imo) and some great individuals. I never liked them as a team though as they are nowhere near to be called a very united group like for example Juventus always were. I think the hate for Barcelona in a lot of cases here comes from the way m_elayyan puts them on piedestal. I myself, prefer Real Madrid to them. My 2 cents.
Valdes is not a horrible goalie. Obviously, you haven't watched much of Barca to know that. In the beginning of the season, Valdes was hands down responsible for the majority of their wins. He has won the Zamora trophy and he is also leading for it at the moment. He has had some slip ups in some major moments, but he is young. Goalies get better with age. We are spoiled by Buffon. He is no Buffon but who is? Valdes is the unsung hero of Barca. Typical that people ignore his talent and claim that he is on the team due to his Catalan roots. :faq1:
A lot of it is probably because of m_elayyan, but even when he isn't stinking up the forum, people still seemingly have grudges against Barca players. For instance, just a few weeks ago people said Deco isn't that great of a player anymore and was always overrated, and for some reason people stated they'd never want Eto'o or Ronnie on this side. It's clearly bias and doesn't make any sense.
I can't stand Real Madrid but they're a better team right now.

I still remember how people said Xavi is an overrated player, and people such as Akkhmedios saying Iniesta is overrated and would fail in Italy. I'm sure some people will even say Rivaldo was overrated and begrudge him for his dives, yet we have a bunch of divers on Juventus as well, including Nocerino. I'm sure people will say Pep Guardiola wasn't any good because he stunk it up for Bresia, not even knowing that he was a starter for a decade and an amazing player.
