Pep Guardiola

My biggest fear is that he will bring with him Busi, I really hope Barcelona dig deeeeeeep to hold on to Busquets, some worrying signs have appeared on the horizon, among them a very close person to him (a relative) said on the radio not long ago that he hoped the club would show more appreciation of Busquets. That, I don't like at all as you can read all sorts of things into it. On top of that we know that Busi will be eternally grateful to Guardiola and I'm not sure his Catalan feelings will be enough to keep him here if he feels under-appreciated. Guardiola will try to bring a player with him from Barcelona and I fear that one is Busi :(

Why would he feel under-appreciated though? He's just about the single most certain starter on the team, aside from Messi of course, and is constantly being lavished with praise from staff and players alike. Would it be a wage problem? I've never had any doubts, though, that he'll become a barca legend like Xavi, Puyol and Iniesta, and retire at the club.

I can't honestly believe Pep would take players from the club...that's gotta be a cardinal sin he wouldn't dare make

Under-appreciated? In the entire squad, only Messi played more games than Busquets did last season. That must account for some kind of appreciation, one would think...

A manager is a manager at the end of the day, they want what will help their club (excluding MeMeMeMourinho) if Pep spots an opportunity to guide a player he used to coach back with him it will be very likely that he'll seize it. Saying that I don't see him trying to poach players, I just think it's possible he'd act if he saw that a player was unsettled, which any good manager would. Hardly Judas behavior really, just business

We're talking Barcelona, it's més que en club and Guardiola is the prodigal son...You can't apply the usual scenarios to Barça

A player that is unsettled is shown the door, that applies whether Pep is in the mix or not

I'm not talking about whether a player will leave because Pep says so, I'm talking about whether Pep would try to buy one of Barcelona's players if the opportunity arose and the answer is yes, whether people want to admit it or not

This is totally different from Pep trying to get a player like Busquets, who wont be in the market.
