Abidal: "I've decided, together with my wife, that in the future we'll live in Barcelona. When I retire, we'll return to Catalonia."
We'll see you soon, Abi.
I hope Abi will take up a position in the Barca management in the future.

You can tell he wanted to stay so much. That to me is the worst thing.
If he had indicated he wanted playing time he couldn't be guaranteed, then I feel he would have accepted a non-renewal. But he is/was SO desperate to stay which means that it has nothing to do with demanding minutes but just wanting to stay and help out wherever. Couldn't Tito not play him in the early rounds of the Copa? or against weak La Liga teams? I'm sure he would have accepted that.
Bullshit decision.

No, there is definitely a destabilizing presence in the infrastructure.

A couple of sad, but true facts :
- Abidal is 34
- He had a liver transplant
- He played max. 30 matches in the last two years
- We have Alba who fitted in perfectly
- We are definitely going to buy a new center back
It's just not logical to keep him in the squad, because his contribution would be really small. You need to follow logic and reason in football, not sentiment, sadly. It is really simple. I doubt he will get a lot of playing time in his next club, but I do hope he will prove the club was wrong to sell him, which is still really unlikely. The bottom line is that club treated him well, I don't think there is no bad feeling for club from Abidal's side and I would like to see him back at Barca as club ambassador or even some kind of coach etc.

Yeah, sad but true
I'm not THAT pissed about this, but I also hope he proves the club wrong.
Btw, didn't the club offer to give him some kind of ambassadorial job after he retires? I don't think the club treated him too badly. Could have been better, could have been worse imo.
