If Mats don't have the patience and fighting spirit to become the no. 1 GK in the next few years, then he doesn't really deserve to be here. We need players who want to be here and wants to fight for their spot. I really want him to be our La Liga GK next season and Bravo the other way around, but if he's losing patience, maybe we should loan him to another club.

You're welcome
I don't believe it. For the fact that Bravo almost has 10 years on Ter Stegen.
Also the fact that Mats drastically improved his Spanish.

If sport's right, MAtS will leave. Just hopefully only on loan. Or we'll have to search for another gk in a few years. And I'm not sure only Masip as the 2nd gk would do. Hopefully it's all bs.

Bravo: "Happy to finish an incredible year year like this. I've won everything I played. Now focus on what's next - Liga, CL and Copa."
Bravo confirms it
Seriously though I don't think it's true, why would Lucho choose Bravo for CL and Copa now, especially after Mats had that incredible game against Bayer.

I don't understand people trying to portray ter Stegen as ungrateful. He signed for Barça on what could Marca and MD almost call false pretenses, having been told that he's signing up for 1st goalie spot. When Lucho demanded Bravo and picked him as 1st goalie, MAtS accepted his lesser role and the "Claudio for LL & MAtS for cups" arrangement that doesn't favorize him without kicking up a fuss, reaction that would be imo understandable from players older than him.
Now let's be real, ter Stegen urgently needs experience and needs more minutes on pitch or he'll be stuck in the "talented young goalkeeper" career phase but sans the "young" part in the next few years while his peers like starters Trapp and Leno accumulate experience and will consequently replace him in NT as well. That's why people demanding ter Stegen to be happy with his status quo are unrealistic, Bravo is wonderful right now and his form could easily continue for up to 5 seasons. What age will MAtS be by then? How will his experiences compare to goalies in the same age bracket who routinely played all these years in all competitions? Lucho's decision not to play ter Stegen in CWC, as much as I respect it, is twice unfair. First of all, a big part of the reason we qualified for CWC in the first place were MAtS' quality performances in CL. Giving then those 2 matches MAtS was killing for on the pitch last season in Berlin to Bravo goes against the working Liga/cups agreement. Secondly, the current division of playing time between Bravo and MAtS is not 50-50, closer to 3/1. It's almost an ugly gesture to take those 2 CW Cup matches from MAtS and add to Claudio's pile. Before anyone comes at me, yeah of course nothing in pro football should be taken for granted but I'm not surprised ter Stegen might get tired being repeatedly blindsided and working on different terms that he was told he agreed on in 2014 and look elsewhere. That's not being ungrateful. Hailing him as the New Neuer can only last for so long - at his age, Neuer was the captain while MAtS sits out for most games. He'll be 24 soon and at this point his situation is detrimental his own success.
