Doesn't sound plausible that he "wouldn't accept". Lucho makes decisons and players have to accept them. Haven't seen any of our players declining not to play, so to speak.

By 1st choice,does it mean La Liga GK?or CL&Liga ? it it is the former it is understandable and doubt Bravo would complain
If it is the latter then we are basically showing Bravo the door.which would be huge mistake IMO

The article hints at a Pinto like situation in the end with the Copa.

Would be a mistake yes. Should give Bravo one season of Copa + CL before cutting it down to CDR.

Says the management think he has fully adapted and ready to be the 1st choice GK, and that Bravo could be sold if he doesn't accept the change.

Yeah, I've been saying with a while I'm not sure they can coexist when MATS becomes our #1, and I couldn't blame Bravo for wanting to leave if he did.

If that does happen, I hope we don't think Masip is good enough to a backup and end up with another Pinto '14-esque season. All the other top clubs have much better backups, look at Chelsea, Real, Atleti, Man United, Bayern, even Valencia...the list goes. Two good goalies is the norm these days.

Let's slow down here .I am not sure what is lavanguardia and how credible they are but I am a bit skeptical about them having close sources to the club
Also the article look like a pure suggestion too .
Last year it was rumored a lot that they will switch places and it didn't happen
The simple fact that the only 2 who knows how the GK situation will be handled next year is Lucho & Unzue .and for all what we know they might not made their decision yet
Bravo was both Lucho & Unzue signing and they seem to be big fan of him .highly doubt they will let him go tbh .

Oh I know, hence why I said "if that does happen" etc. personally I'd like another year of this rotation but there's no clear answer of what to do.

La Vanguardia is one of the biggest newspapers in Barcelona, if not the biggest. They aren't "specialised" in sports though like Mundo Deportivo or Sport but I'd surely rate it more reliable. Still think this is just paper talk though, we'll see what really happens next season.
