Bartra is having a great season at Betis which is on the verge of Euro spot
The rest of the guys have had mixed fortunes. Caceres has a had a decent career. Muniesta was OK in La Liga. Montoya was doing very well at Valencia who are no 3 or 4 in La Liga. I am not sure the Ukrainian played under Pep?
Fontas plays for Celta De Vigo

Don't see what the fuss is about Umiti. Anyone Dzeko can out-run is not worth getting.
Umtiti is actually a very very good player. However, it think like John Stones, he went to the wrong club. I will explain what I mean. Personally, I think a young defender should learn how to defend under a defensive-minded coach, be a master of defending before going to play for Guardiola or barcelona.
This is because if they go to Guardiola or Barca at a young age, I feel that they may not develop their defensive capacity, as deeply as they should. Look at John Stones, fantastic player, but he cant even get a game anymore. And when he plays, he is a mistake waiting to happen.
Pique
Oleguer
Martin Carceres
Chygryski
Fontas
Sergi Gomez
Muniesa
Montoya
Batra — remember him? The guy you said was better than Eric Bailly?? Yea, Dortmund told him to fook off, and now he is with the Great Betis

Victor Sanchez
Uncle, i know all of them very well and where they are and how theg are doing.
My point is very clear. My point is not that they are bad. For instance, Fontas has been wuite reliable for Celta and did cery well in that lone season with Luis enrique where i think theh almost went to Europe.
My point is that a young defenser who plays under Pep or ar Barca at a young formative age, doea not learn the inportant part of defending, and relies more on distribution and tactical aggression. Almost all the young defenders who have played under Pep or at Barca, suffer the same issues, defensively. Stones is suffering it now, and Laporte is showing signs of the same.
As for Chygrinski, he did not only play under Pep, Pep brought him to Barca.
