I guess he's a good defender, that's cheap....though he's hardly the glamour signing you'd expect from Barca.
I presume he would be bought in as a good value, solid, international player, to offer cover for the big boys. (similar to the position he finds himself in with Liverpool's interest). -
Why odd, he's a good defender isn't it ?Comment

He's not their standard tho surely?I live with Steptoe.Comment

Cant see him getting a regular spot in their starting 11In Rafa I Trust

I've never rated Puyol though - and he's their best defender!

I dont get this Barca standard stuff.Originally posted by kopdan
What about LFC standard? Do players have to be of a higher quality to play for them?.
It seems to me, we have argueably a greater tradition than them.Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:

puyol is much better imo, and he is their leader as well, and with turam curently with them they don't need neil, the have better cb's and rb's..."I have decided to escape, to defy the shogun.

There's no "arguably" about it. We have a much greater tradition than them. They've only played in the Spanish League for a matter of decades, playing in a Catalan league beforehand - and how many times have they been European champions - once? Can't remember but it's way behind us.Originally posted by bazza76Comment

But yes, I would have though we had a far greater tradition, especially where Europe is concerned.Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:

They are interested because Neeskens is now the assistant manager to Rijkaard at Barca.
Neeskens was assistant to Hiddink at the WC, and as soon as he went to Barca they were linked with Neill. He was very highly regarded by Hiddink"When a man insults my country I insult him, by taking his woman" Tony Yeboah

Barcelona is a glamourous club though, and have had some of the world's greatest players (something which Liverpool obviously also have.) So all this, we are bigger/better/more famous then them is a little futile.
Real Madrid & Barcelona are the most famous clubs in Spain, fact.
Liverpool & Manchester United are the most famous clubs in England, fact.
If Rafa or Frank R think that Lucas Neill could perform a specifc role for their team, then I'm sure he's a decent player.
