You guys are jumping the gun way too fast.
Keep in mind this rumor was posted by a forum member called Metaphysical, who has trolled this forum a lot over the past two years. He even quit this forum because he was tired of people criticizing him and got butthurt when people disagreed with him.
Second, Pique is a better player than Benatia. Pique knows the club in and out. He just needs discipline on and off the pitch. Also, to be fair, he had a good season last year. He was finally getting back to his old self. His worst season was by far the 11-12 season, WHICH WAS 2-3 SEASONS AGO. All of this exaggeration about his bad performances are starting to annoy me a bit.
Third, it makes no sense why we would buy Vermaelen and then immediately want Benatia right after. If that's the case, then buy Benatia in the first place so you could save the 20 mill you spent on verma. With Pique, if his behavior is such a big issue, just have a formal talk with him with in a separate room with Lucho, Zubi, and Bartomeu. These matters can be taken care of in a professional manner.
