Miralem Pjanic

[fergus90]

Koeman will want him sold in the summer no doubt about it.

 

[gregorrin10]

Fuck you're right, he is so much like Arda in his body language. At least Arda actually had decent numbers (which is to be expected as he is a more attacking player). Pjanic is just a passenger. Wijnaldum would be an instant upgrade.

Needs to be moved on this summer already, we can still get like 20M for him, and if we got Gini for free as his replacement, that would be some shrewd business for once. Pjanic is basically the same as Neto, a luxury player, someone we can afford to sell and literally don't lose a thing, while still getting 20M for them each. Add to that Coutinho for 50M, since it's clear he doesn't fit anywhere and would/will just mess up the team selection once he comes back, at this point he can't be more than Pedri's replacement, and Puig can do everything and more in that role, while at least giving everything, unlike the entitled Brazilian. With wages included, that's 100M right there for 3 players. And we'll desperately need as many of this 'luxury' players as we can this summer, if we plan on climbing out of that financial hole while still keeping Messi.

Just the thought that No.8 was worn by players like Hristo Stoichkov and Andres Iniesta...

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

I hope we can sell him in summer somehow.

 

[mc_lovin]

He has an insane valuation on the books, which makes him virtually impossible to sell. I hope Laporta gets creative though, we have a clear path to a decent, low(er) cost squad.

Roberto/Busquets/Frenkie/Pedri/Puig+physical midfielder (Wijnaldum?) would be a dream come true. And Emerson/Dest competing for RB.

 

[xXKonan]

Once a good player at one point now is just a pair of aging legs.

We just got rid of three of them last summer only to bring another one in.

 

[serghei]

I want no more players with finished legs. We just started to get rid of the load and brought back some more with Pjanic. No doubt Barto engineered this one with his brilliant mind.

 

[JohnN]

Looks like the odd man out. Doesn't look like he has joined the team spirit that has been developing at the team. Also, he is competing with Busi for "slowest release of the ball d'or".

 

[behindbrowneyes]

He signed a retirement contract and is playing like a retiree. Ridiculous that he complained about lack of time a few weeks ago.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

He was garbage in the second half of last season, a player who can only pass left, right and back.

 

[BBZ8800]

He has an insane valuation on the books, which makes him virtually impossible to sell. I hope Laporta gets creative though, we have a clear path to a decent, low(er) cost squad.

Agreed, we can sell him because we paid 60m for him and that will cause even more loss in books.

And even without the books, Rakitic who was a way better and more useful player last season, couldn't get any decent offers.

I don't see how we would sell him at all.

 

[Andresito]

He'll just stay and be the 5th or 6th midfielder until his contract runs out. Unless some rich club outside of Europe decide that Bosnian footballers are as sexy as Brazilians.

 

[Nazario1985]

How is he playing like a 35-36 years old at just 30 ??

Was supposed to be an upgrade over Rakitic !!

Hope Koeman can find the juice in him and fast

 

[Catta]

He will never be sold because of Bartos idiotic move to balance the books. Every sale will be a massive loss.

His reactions are just to slow for Spanish football. He will probably be loaned to an Italian team like Roma or Napoli.

 

[raskolnikov]

Another arda turan type retiring player with years on his contract. Barto is the worst president in history.
Loan to milan next season incoming
