yeah, sell arda, ignore robertoo, discard denis suarez and hellalovic or lee's improvement to give a message to young generation that they don't have a chance no matter what they have got or whatever they do.
if he hadn't drag him, instead of neymar getting the ball, rakitic would've got it. Wouldn't have made a difference and his thought was correct and so was his movement.
i think he has clearly indicated and put pep in a situation where pep wouldn't ask him in the first place as he said: i know he wouldn't ask at the first place.
given the importance of pivot player in guadiola's playing style, i think sergi robertoo would be a real target for him. I don't see anyone in current city squad fulfilling that role.
if n't busquets then robertoo for sure..
if i was him, i would've said and felt the same way. look at the influence of guardiola on him. he probably owes a lot to guardiola. Normal thing to say.
that can work with having robertoo in rb/midfied role to cover for the loss. Or Playing macherano is a little advance role aswell
SOmething like
ney-suarez-dybala
----messi----
raki--------busi---
-----mascherano-----robertoo
Stones---- ----pique---------
-------bravo/mats
sure he knows. But it makes me think, the keeper who really wants to stand out and be first choice of barca, should get ahead of the other one we have and be un disputed no.1.
