Would be featuring alot more this season if this Chelsea interest didn't come from nowhere.
Call me square, but that Villarreal deal for Ayoze, for the same amount as Pau Victor was a steal. Could have been our Joselu.
I like Pau but I just don't know how he is going to be as our only striking back up.

Whats the matter with all of you here. Wishing a youngman ill-luck in his career, just because he chose what he felt was better for him and his family?
There are so many grown-hairy assed kids here....from the ones cursing their injured player for more life misfortunes just because he chose a conservative approach to healing, to some others wishing death on their own player because they felt he made a wrong judgement and cost them a spot in the UCL semis, to those wishing a career ending injury on an ex player that left because he felt undervalued, and now, to wishing a young teenager bad luck because he dared for more opportunities for his young career?????
Fuck.....so much toxicity!!

If I was Guiu why would I stay? Barca hasn't used a homegrown #9 since maybe Bojan and that's 2009/2010. And Bojan wasn't some locked in starter either. False 9 Messi counts too sort of but that isn't the point of the argument.
After Lewa they are for sure getting a proven striker. Guiu's best chance is hitting 20 goals at Chelsea to even consider maybe coming back one day.

Chelsea has one bus full of players for one position. He took the money. It's simple as that.

I have nothing against Guiu, it's his career and he can do whatever he wants. I don't have the right to blame players if they look for financial security over development at a young age. I can understand their decisions because you never know when you can get seriously injured and your career on top level is close to over but doesn't mean I have to agree with them.
I've never wished injuries even to the players I disliked. Won't even talk about death wishes that I know some players are getting. That's just sad and disgusting. At the end of the day football is just a game. There are far more important things in life. Some people are taking things too far, especially in this stupid social media era.
So in short, I don't wish Guiu bad but I don't think he'll succeed at Chelsea either.
First because I don't think he has enough quality and Barca doesn't have history of producing good strikers. Lot of La Masia kids were hyped after a short breakthrough period in first team but Icardi (who never played for the first team) is the only one I can remember who made a good or maybe even great career in a top club and I would be surprised if Guiu would get close to that. He'll probably be closer to the Munir or Sandro level long term.
And second because Chelsea are a mess and just hoarding talents without a clear plan what to do with them. Maybe time will prove me wrong but I have every reason to be sceptical about their transfer philosophy until they will actually have some results to show that their approach works.
Guiu will probably be one of the 20 players training separated from the first team within a year or two (after they'll buy 15 new players in the meantime) and then send on several loans before being sold to a midtable PL or La Liga team.
That's probably his ceilling (and wouldn't be bad if he would actually make it to that level) but going to Chelsea at this stage of his career will also limit his development imo. Would give him better odds to succeed longterm if he'd go to a Leipzig/PSV/Lille/Brighton,... So clubs that would actually have a good plan and present him a path to the first team minutes in future if not already this season. I'm sure Chelsea gave him some promises as well but how that will work out we'll see. They probably promised first team football to Datro Fofana last year too. And where is he now? Just loaned to a newly promoted Turkish club.
If Guiu believes going to Chelsea was the right step for him then so be it. Barca will survive without him. He's far from the best player or biggest talent that has ever left this club. But only time will tell if Guiu will survive in a cruel outside world. Grass is not always greener on the other side. Most former La Masia players already have that experience and I'm sure there are more than just a few of them who also have some regrets.

Without the goal against Bilbao no one would actually speak about him and Chelsea wouldn't have offered him this contract either. That's how today's football works. Just score one important goal for people to speak about it a couple of weeks and you already made a big enough name to earn millions. A bit like today's Spotify "artists" who only need one summer hit to get enough money for the rest of their life.
