"Sell Casado"
Completely lost his mind there
I dont think there would be much of a market so be as well keeping him really.
Any decent offer though would punt him for the cash.
Casado is not going to be a starter for Barca long term.

Players are going to need to be sold.. non starters who can get a fee for will be first up.
Casado if rated the way some on here do then get a very good fee.. cant see it but if the case it makes sense for him to go.. club wont though.
Even if FDJ leaves Casado is not a Barca level starter long term and Bernal will be a teenager off back of knee injury.
FDJ/Bernal Pedri/Gavi
Olmo/Fermin
Of players Barca have that is the best lot of midfielders. Although Casado v Gavi may be close.

Sure let's sell anyone who isn't a sure long term starter. Fantastic team planning 
It's no more than a couple of games since Casado's massively helpful stint as a consistent starter and it's already incomprehensible to some that he might be useful again in the future.

I have massive regards for Frenkie' s talent and have been one of his strongest advocates here. But to simply pack Cassado aside as inferior is myopic. They have their different strengths. In my view, Barca is very lucky with current midfielders( if you add Bernal)
For matches you need control and coordination from the base of your midfield and need to gradually build up the attack using spaces, Frenkie is a perfect fit. This will be against teams that play low blocks or use man marking methods. But be aware that you will lose a lot of interception and combating tackles to break up counters and maybe some speed/acceleration in the attack which may reduce some sort of pull through passes that a player like Cassado offers.
For open matches that require a gung-ho back-to- back/gengerpressing approach, especially when the opponents come to play too, Cassado is a much better fit. His combative tackles, interceptions and ability to break up attack is still the best in the team(bar injured Bernal). He also comes with a vision for those penetrative passes. You might lose much in control and build up play though.
I have been a keen advocate for FDJ while not regarding Cassado initially. However with more matches I saw what Cassado brought to the team which was one of the reasons behind the team's flying start early on in the season, completely assimilating seamlessly into the new playing style introduced by Flick.
They are both good and have their different uses. The good thing about the current Barca side is, Flick, who is not only experienced enough to use players to their strengths but also very flexible in playing style(unlike the previous fraud).
Enjoy both rather than compare.

Back to his best me thinks.. reliable , crisp turns and twirls and great efforts .. but like always.. whenever he tries to be creative with a pass it comes short.. he is useless in the final third of the pitch but very uself in the middle third of the pitch.
