Slightly puzzled by this one, Wiki says that he can play left back and center back.
Has he been in as back up to Huth and Shawcross?
Or competition to Pieters?
Or is Pieters center half back up and this guy is our no. 1 left back?
Interesting that nobody caught wind if this until today

Looks like a few defenders could be sweating a bit.

Hope that cruciate injury hasn't knocked the stuffing out of him!
Fascinating signing though, it has to be said

Doesn't look a lot wrong with this signing  |

He is a 21yr old Kid and a 2nd team player at Barca. Lets not go over the top.

Looks like we won't have to see Marc Wilson at left back ever again
Got to be great news

You wait 17 years for a left back and then two come along in a week. Exciting!
My son, who is an oracle on Spanish football rates him very highly and can't believe 1, he's gone to Stoke and secondly we've nicked him on a free. Sounds like a great bit of business. Well done Stoke and Hughsy.
PS, do these new people at our club not realize that the window is still open until 31st August, leave it until then fellas, thats when all the best deals are done, apparently.

Bloody hell now that's brilliant business by Hughes massive pat on the back. Someone of his pedigree from the UK would be 7-8m. It's says Hughes still has contacts at Barca. How about Messi next |

At 5'11" he's not set to play as a CB...
... so is it a fight between Pieters and Muniesa?!
Sign two talented footballers, both who play the same position.

Or is Pieters center half back up and this guy is our no. 1 left back? Interesting that nobody caught wind if this until today I think the key words here are competition and cover. We now have 4 good (young) players who can cover CB and LB. This will help for cup games and also when Ryan and Huth get suspended and / or injured. It's great to see a healthy, quality squad start to be being built. Be good if we could look at RB if possible, before moving on to forward type players. Very exciting! |

Stoke have signed a 5 ft 11, 21 year old Spanish defender from Barcelona..
It feels all weird and tingly.

Tony will be turning in his Stoke City grave at this news. A player totally the opposite of what he would sign!
