Carles Puyol...

Three quarters of the world is covered by water.

The rest is covered by Puyol.

 

Exactly...leadership, toughness, tenacity, passion, and a good bit of pace, agility, and technical skill to go with it.

Still my favorite player on this team!

 

what i always say is puyol plays like someone with no skill. that type of player gives everything they have, they never give up, they fight, they love what they do. the difference is, puyol does have skill.

 

1. Puyol
2. Every other CB in the world.

 

...

Rep this man, folks. The correct answer in the very first reply

 

Nope, that will always be Deion Sanders

 

just as valuable as ronnie for me. valdes would not have too many clean sheets without this guy.

 

i also think Juve`s Cannavaro is in the same group of extra-quality defensive rocks that are short in stature. Both players despite thier stature are some of the most feared and most competitive defenders any striker can come against plus they possess great aerial prowess.

 

There is no one more reliable. Solid all around. I wish we could clone Puyol.

Puyol-Puyol-Puyol-(left-footed)Puyol

 

Yep you are right

 

Reiziger, Christanvol, 34yr old Frank de Boer, Coco

 

Funny thing about Puyol...a fact they used to speak of often when he broke into the first team in 2000.... He was discovered while playing for the Barcelona Dragon (american) football team...and was taught to play defense.....he started as a right back and KLuivert once rated him in 2001 the next great thing because of his comanding overlapping runs.....Having seen this, it is still a little odd that he moved into center back given his tremendous ability to play the right back position.

 

De Boer was solid.......i still dont understand why they got rid of Coco..he was better than Sorin IMO

 

Then I already know who our left-back should be...




Micheal Vick

 

Dont you mean "Ron Mexico"....Senor Ronaldo Mexico

 

If he gets along w/ Marquez, even better.

 

you clicked the link...right

 

Yes. I don't believe the story. It's actually pretty old.

 

No.....it is true....thats why the NFL banned "Mexico" on the back of any Falcons jerseys this season.

Fine, we'll take LaDanian Tomlinson at Left-back instead.

Team captain Carles Puyol, who has a cartilage problem in his left knee, is to have treatment over the Christmas break in order to return to training in January in peak condition.

Club medical sources revealed today (Thursday) that Carles Puyol will undergo a number of local injections in the affected knee followed by a few days of rest.

Doctors and the player himself have decided to take advantage of the week-long break before training resumes on 30th December ahead of the Spanish Cup match against Zamora on 4th January. Puyol's temporary absence is in addition to that of Rafa Márquez, who will be sidelined for 10 days due to a muscle strain.

 

this worries me a lot, cartilage is very important and if to thin then he could easly break his leg, but good thing he is getting it fixed and resting Rafa is important aswell, we are going to need these players at the best come chelski game

 

I think that this is a minor injury, he played every match this season.

 

I'm concerned about the after effects of these injections. Will he be as mobile as before? Marquez will not return to training till Jan 2nd, perhaps Puyol should take an extra day or 2.
