Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona needed a central of future and already has it. The Barcelona group did official this Tuesday that Jean-Clair Todibo, head office of the Toulouse, will be the first reinforcement of the next summer. The young French defence finishes agreement the next month of June and will arrive to the Camp Nou without need that the Catalan club pay neither an alone euro in his traspaso.

The signing of Todibo has clearly a lot of more advantages that disadvantages, if we analyse it from a neutral point of view. To continuation, an analysis detailed of the strong points and the weak points of the operation that will bring to the French defence to the Camp Nou from the season that comes.

Advantages and disadvantages of the signing of Todibo

Positive points

Jean-Clair Todibo is a defence that gathers the ideal conditions of the profile of central defence that looked for the technical office headed by Éric Abidal: it is a player very corpulento, with good technician to take out the balloon played from the defensive line, with a spectacular aerial game and very agile of movements in spite of his 190 centimetres of height.

To economic level, is a blessing, since it will arrive free the next month of July. This is something very important since, because of the inflation of the prices of the footballers, is very complicated to find to future promises by a price that was asumible by a team in which there is not external economic investment as in the cases of Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain.

Besides, Todibo only has 19 years and has a lot of margin of improvement. It is true that for now is a diamond by pulir, but his conditions aim high. Besides, in case of not obtaining of him the performance expected, his sale in no case would generate losses, since it will arrive to cost zero. It is a bet without risk in the market of signings.

Negative points

The only negative point that we can find in the incorporation of Todibo is that, to his 19 years, only has played 10 parties in the elite. It is a footballer with conditions, but without experience as to be able to be important of entrance. It will have to have patience, because it will split like fourth head office by behind Gerard Hammered, Samuel Umtiti and Clément Lenglet.
