My biggest worry was we ended up with a poor man's Busi with the same damn problems and sure enough, we did. Good moments with the ball like Busi, but decaying rapidly at everything else like Busi.
This wasn't some Money Laundering deal, when I was following the rumors, apparently, Abidal wanted him the most, and Cat Radio said according to a memo they have seen stated they thought getting Pjanic would bridge the gap between the Vets and Youngsters. There were also those weird articles that Pjanic was going to be some sort of leader, leading the next generation of Barca Players and be seen as some sort of influential figure.
Feels like the warning signs were all there. Juventus fans were constantly bitching about him, articles claiming he wasn't doing well at all in training and struggled with the intensity when he got here. I thought he would need at least some time to get up to scratch but a number of his appearances and the fact the guy can't even challenge Busi for a spot and even had Alena come on before him in a couple of games it's pretty clear the rumors about him are true.
What a waste of time and Money we have wasted on him. I'd rather us sell him assuming if it is possible and find a good B2B Midfielder.
