pep said...: Given his performances so far, his potential for the future and other aspects you may want to take into account (transfer fee paid, player's mentality, etc)

10 = we couldn't have found a better guy
...
0 = we never should have bought him

You can vote until tomorrow 5 pm.; 30 December, 2008
Anonymous said...: I'm sure he have a lot of potential but he haven't really showed it yet, mainly because he doesn't get the minutes that he need.

Considering how much we paid for him, the fact that he is a centreback and that he haven't been proven at the highest level I have to give him a 4.; 30 December, 2008
Waleed said...: I cant judge him on "his performance far" as I dont think its been enough time for him on the pitch.
so.. I'll go for a " dont know"; 30 December, 2008
Anonymous said...: i gave him a 5 cause we haven't seen him play much but the one thing that really bothers me(being a fun of Pique and following nearly every match of Barca this season) is that many people gave Pique easily a 0,1,2 and in Caceres case that we haven't seen him much they give easily 6-7...LOL; 30 December, 2008
Unknown said...: I gave him a 5!!! he will get better I believe...; 30 December, 2008
Anonymous said...: He´s played very little, and even when he did, he wasn´t convincing. If you guys remember how he always gave away a penalty against Betis ? It was a clear penalty, luckily didn't get called .. Btw, who the hell gave him a 10 ?; 31 December, 2008
Anonymous said...: i think he has more potential than pique(though i personall like pique more)...hopefully we can mold him into the next puyol; 31 December, 2008
Anonymous said...: I gave 7. We didn't see him playing much. I think he has much more potential than Pique.; 31 December, 2008
Anonymous said...: Yes, he has palyed too little to judge.
But i remember him playing last season in Recreativo and there he played very very good(this is well the reason Barca bought him).
Good performances also in the mationall team.
He is young and will grow more in the future. Most defence-player come to their top later in age.

Pique is worth lots of minutes!
He is very long and helps to clean in "air-room". He is very unike with is long body and he has a well tecnique, if one remeber that long players are mostly more clumpsy.
He is a kind of backplayer the we missed in last seasons.

Cáceres is good but he reminds very much the others (Marquez. Puyol, Milito) in his stile.
Cáceres is a player for the future.

I don't know how the club will solve the situation with Henrique, that just now is on loan in Leverkusen.
It will be even tuffer for Cáceres if Henrique will joint Barca in the summar.; 31 December, 2008
Barca nerd-fan said...: Seeing his performance so far, I think we paid too much for him. But I recond he has the potential to becoome a world class defender, he just need more playing time, so I voted "I don't know", I think he played too little to be judged.

I don't get it though, Pep rotates players but he only rotates Marquez and Pique to play alongside Puyol... Maybe Pep thinks Caceres should play alongside Milito, and he's waiting for Milito to be back... i don't know; 31 December, 2008
Anonymous said...: He's the business. He's also the only Barca defender willing to make a sliding tackle. Every back line needs a Uruguayan hard man, and Caceres is ours. He hasn't played much, but that will change, I'm pretty sure.

He's Milito, but meaner and faster. And like Milito, he understands the "when in doubt, clear it out" theory. I like him a lot, and can easily see a future back line of Alves, Caceres, Henrique, Abidal.

We've seen him mostly as a wing substitute, but he's strongest in the middle, I think.; 31 December, 2008
