Sergi Roberto

[FinBarcelonafan]

You know your club is on an all time low and realy deep shit when you consider Roberto becoming a captain...

He is the captain? Main captain? What?

third captain

"I am waiting for the proposal from the club, I will take a pay cut"

Keep calm man is on vacation you need to wait.

Roberto: "I will renew my contract with a reduction in my wages."

Says the guy who's contract was expiring anyway. That's no paycut you dumbass, that's a renegotiated extension.

He would have got less money if he stayed at Barca or went to another club. Our lord and saviour Roberto

Exactly. He is probably lucky to get 50% what he earns now.

Well at least we might be able to sell him next summer...but who am i kidding, he's staying 'till he's 35

 

[ryuken]

Seriously this Catalan home grown player Oleguerish shit has to stop, they are leeching us and driving us to the ground

 

[JamDav1982]

Dont mind him staying if reduction is significant.

Will be useful cover in midfield at this rate.

 

[Xaviniesta]

isn't he basically doing the same thing pique supposedly did, which is taking a wage cut and extending his contract?

A bit different in his case. His contract was expiring anyway next season. And he would've got less from us(if we were planning to extend) or other clubs.

Yes, it still reduces the burden now. We're just stuck with him for another 2-3 years or how long did he extend.

It's a good thing. Let's say he's bound to a 10m payment for his services this season. But he signs a new contract worth 5m per season. We get to keep him for 2 years for the price of one, the figure we have to pay either way (50% figure was mentioned in the media before). Or, if there's some reduction involved, we save extra money. Not to mention we get to try to sell him next summer. Easier done with low wages.

Yes, as said above, it helps us now. We are just stuck with him for another year or two

Sounds like the best piece of business we can do right now for the good of the club. Absolute best would obviously be to outright sell him now, but that is never happening, so this is a decent solution.

While it's easier with low wages, I don't think Roberto is doing this just so Barca can try and sell him next summer. I think he's going to resist a departure no matter what we try to do.

We're most likely going to be stuck with him for another two or three years which sucks.
