5 - Carles Puyol

[Stric]

Something fishy going on here... no way it's just a regular decision, not after renewing his contract recently.

 

[Flavia]

Sad, sad day if true.

Love the winner/character that is Puyol.

2 captains. One indeed wants out, now this Puyol's story. I wish Puyi would come forward and say something. It's all really weird.

Barcelona centre back Carles Puyol (35) wants to leave Barcelona this summer. He will join AC Milan. [btv]

Between this and Abidal, I don't think I've ever been so angry regarding this club. I hope it is BS. 10m buyout clause though, is pretty high for someone of his age with his injuries. Not sure I could see Milan paying that.

 

[Stric]

Valdes, Puyol, Abidal and Villa in one summer... someone wake me up, please.

 

[raskolnikov]

What could possibly be the reason he renews his contract then at 35 leaves to Milan...
No mes que un club.

Milan will pay € 500,000. In 10 year installments.

If we get Del bosque smiley, surely we can have galliani. pretty please

If Puyol leaves it will be a sad day. If it's becase of Rossell and Zubi I hope their heads roll far and away from the Nou Camp.

Loan deal of course, where we pay for his rent, food and Berlusconi provides the party girls.

First Pep, then Valdes, and now Puyol. Something ain't right within the club that's for sure.

If it's about the board then a huge problem is present with the club. When are elections? I heard Laporta wanted to run again.

If Rosell is the reason that Villa, Puyol, Valdes, Pep, and Abidal get pushed out then he has no business being in charge. Some things are worth more than just money.

 

[Stric]

The worst part is that, once they're gone, it's finished. It's not as if Abidal or Villa or whoever will return if SR is no longer president. Even if they wanted to, they'd be too old.

 

[spark]

I doubt Carles is going anywhere. But then I never expected to see Del Piero in Australia either so

Thankfully, at least for now, this is just a rumor. Let's wait and see. It is strange indeed though. He was at the memory ceremony for Miki Roqué earlier this weak though. I suspect that he will wait until the season ends before making such statements. Did the rumor not start late today? Also I don't think that he can comment on every rumor. Not the first time that there is talk of him leaving/retiring.

Anyone watching Futboleros right now? Curious to see what they say about all this. Will have to tune in.
