This is going to be a massive circus and a shitshow. Not that it wasn't already but it's going to reach new heights we didn't even know was possible.

Yes I think so too. This is the beginning. I assume next season is a total write off. I hope we perma bench the amigos. Play the youngsters.

Infact the only one who didn't say he will stay is Gerard Pique. All other Amigos have already told trough Media they will stay

Pique probably came out with that statement in an arrogant way not believing for a second the club would try to get rid of him as he thinks himself so important.

Be interesting to see how he reacts if club take him up on it.

This is a guy who makes documentaries about players not signing for club and misses training when sees fit if has something better to do. As oblivious and arrogant as they come.

To be fair there is no way for him to force players still under contract to leave. Ideally those deals should have never been offered in the first place. Next board will have trouble moving them as well if they still don't want to go.

If they are sternly told that they are not wanted and will be benched it may make some consider leaving. It may mean partially paying the players' contracts out

Even then they will think they can get back in as they are better than the others.

They need to be totally gone from first team. Even if that means training away from them.

Get them as far away as possible.

Pique: We have literally no other option, except playing a kid.
Alba: We have no option other than Firpo. Firpo is not any good.
Suarez: We have no option there too.
Busquets. We can play FDJ (and pjanic now?) there.
Rakitic: He doesn't feel untouchable anymore.. finally.

Of course the feel they will be starters. We have not challenged them one bit.

Bartomeu did say that part of the reason we can't sign replacements is because of the huge wages the club is on. His board are the cause of that, but if we can reduce the wage then it opens up the ability to fund signings. Easier said than done.

What could happen here is that we have a reverse scenario of the first Van Gaal tenure. That time the press and fans went against Van Gaal when he brought his Dutch army to replace the existing players.

This time we could see Koeman bring a few players he is aware of through being the Dutch NT coach to replace the amigos. The squad would be divided if the amigos stay, but atleast he could have enough player backing to enforce his plans. Meanwhile, the media would actually be backing K4 as any goodwill is lost after the CL humiliations.

It is going to be a rough season if we don't manage to get rid of some of them.

I think the obvious ones to leave should be Busquets, Rakitic and Vidal as we have de Jong and Pjanic. We might have to live with Alba, Suarez and Pique for a bit longer.

Umtiti is another one I'd like to see gone if we bring in Garcia

This guy is a fool. He's full of contradictions.

I don't believe a word this man says. I highly doubt Messi has even spoken to him. I fully expect him to sell 2 or 3 players and call it a day. We'll probably buy some overpriced player and call that a rebuild.

There are better alternatives to playing Busquets, Rakitic and Suarez.
Worse alternatives to playing Alba and Pique (hopefully it will change with Eric Garcia)
