García Pimienta

[Messi983]

It's obvious Mavericky will become a player-coach for Barca B.

Laportameu has arrived.

Garc?a Pimienta had earlier been told that he will continue at Bar?a B. He got an unexpected call today saying that he is fired. [@martinezferran]

Why are we so good at burning bridges with everyone?

He is loyal. This is bad move at least let him see out contract

 

[mc_lovin]

I assume he was grossly overpaid. That's the only thing I am pretty sure of given Barto's history. I will wait for more information before I jump at Laporta

 

[FCBarca]

Will require an explanation from Laporta because there is obviously a lack of clarity or rationale for the decision taken considering Pimienta, his work and recent assurances over his continuity - has to be an explanation and hopefully not linked to the intransigence of Koeman to insist on Bartomeu's penalty clauses as part of his contract

Sad day and to usher in a new era after the debacle of Rosell/Bartomeu, Joan will need to assure fans that there was justification

 

[DonAK]

Hope he gets a gig for a team in La Liga.

Weird decision. I don't understand the logic behind this. Laporta wants to put his stamp on the club by rebuilding everything? Firing a guy like Pimienta surely must mean that Laporta has someone qualified in mind.
But then again, if the argument is that Pimienta was overpaid, I doubt his successor will both be cheap and a better youth developer.

Better not be a petty move because of some cost-saving, change-counting measure.

I like Pimienta, but he literally has no track record of developing talents for the first team?! We have a good generation, but is this his achievement? Fati jumped straight to the first team. Not much else happened in the last few years apart from Mingueza and Ilaix (who are both raw as fuck).

Araujo could be counted I guess.

 

[Porque]

Sergi Barjuan will be his replacement.

Excuse the pun, lateral move?

 

[mc_lovin]

I guess it's more of a team job for me than giving Garcia most of the credit. He's just a cog in the wheel of La Masia. Hardly a life or death situation for our youth. And if it's true that he earned like 4 times more than the next highest paid manager in the 3rd division it's a bit excessive.

But maybe he's a genius. No idea. Never done any research on him or even listened to an interview. And I guess most here who are outraged haven't either.

Except Fati, the rest are not really good enough to be somekind of top player in the future. I don't think Pimienta or anyone can change that much.

 

[Devils]

Stunning sacking.

But it is what it is.

We move.
