Marking The January Transfer Targets....!!!


The Blaugrana are still seeking a left winger and a central midfielder...

The summer transfer window may have just closed, but Barca are already looking ahead to the next one. There are some concerns at the Camp Nou about the size of their squad, and according to El Mundo Deportivo, sporting director Txiki Begiristain has already identified his targets for January. The two positions that the Blaugrana are seeking to re-enforce are left wing , where Thierry Henry is the only senior player, and defensive midfield, due to the absence of Yaya Toure and Seydou Keita for the African Nations Cup. Two names that have been doing the rounds recently are Robinho and Shakhtar Donetsk's Willian, but there are a whole host of other players being considered. For the midfield role, Barca are considering a move for Patrick Vieira, who could fill the position temporarily, as Edgar Davids once did. Cristian Poulsen and Daniel De Rossi are also being considered, although the latter will be unlikely to leave Roma. In addition, Steven Defour and Hernanes are also on the radar, but Barca would prefer to sign an experienced, temporary replacement, since they are well stocked in the position when the African duo return. As for the left wing, if Barca fail to land Robinho, they may turn their attentions to PSV's Ibrahim Afellay.
