It does hardly some weeks, the FC Barcelona announced officially the signing of Jean-Clair Todibo, a French defence of 19 years that finished agreement with the Toulouse and that, in principle, arrived free next summer. Nevertheless, the Barcelona club and the entity gala have arrived to an agreement so that this signing advance to this same month of January, as it advanced 'Mark' and after having confirmed that the player already was travelling to Barcelona this same Thursday.
The Toulouse had communicated to Todibo that would not play more, by what the Barça, that did not want that his new promise remained without playing during five months, has worked to close the operation before the planned and so that Todibo can play in the Camp Nou. Now, the arrival of the Frenchman in winter already is a reality: the culés will have him immediately.
It is necessary to remember that we are speaking of a diamond in the rough. Todibo Only has played 10 official parties with the first team of the Toulouse, but have cost him to show that it is a footballer of guarantees for the saga of the FC Barcelona. His youth and his style of game have dazzled to the Barcelona technical office that, with Eric Abidal at the front, no longer fears to bet by footballers of Tie it 1 French.
Todibo Is a player of big future that adapts very well to the profile of footballer that the FC Barcelona needs for his defensive line. The first shot that has enamoured in the offices of the Camp Nou is his capacity to play the balloon from backwards, offering an exit of ball totally aseada. Has very good technical, something that has inherited of his ancient position of pivote.
Besides, the polivalencia that offers him the fact to be able to play so much in the defensive line as by in front of the saga. Physically also it is a beast. His 190 centimetres of height offer him a lot of power and fortress, but also the logical speed of his big stride. In spite of his corpulencia, is fast and works very well in the defensive corrections.
Todibo, will have difficult to play... But only this season
The Frenchman arrives to the FC Barcelona months before the planned, reason by which, to the not being scheduled his arrival, will do him have fewer opportunities. It is necessary to mention that the staff already has Gerard Hammered, Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti, Vermaelen and Jeison Murillo like head offices. Nevertheless, these two last could leave the team to final of season to do him hollow to Todibo, although it will be necessary to see the immediate management of Valverde.
