Sergio Busquets

Rumour said he will still get paid by us after he leaves due to deferments, so likely through 2023-2024, and possibly for another season too.

Which is better for Barca if board can get him to agree to that.

These deferrals are always going to be due to players when contracts are up.

What did you expect?

Apparently we will pay his deferments after his contract is over, ffs :lol:

Well it's probably either that or extending his contract as paying all the deferred wages at once for multiple players might not be possible.

That being said let's see if he actually leaves in 2023, if he continues to play 99% of minutes.

Who cares if we don't have a direct replacement for him? Just get him out. We'll figure out something.

LOL

No! We won't figure shit. Just like we didn't fugure anything by signing Arda, Paulinho, Vidal, Gomes, Coutinho or FDJ. Kessie will be next.

Something must change. Luck, scouting or whatever. But we need to get some signings right.

Groundhog day turning into Groundhog years till we're at Groundhog decade. Xavi was supposed to break this vicious cycle but he decided to master it instead.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Tell me Barca's not an asylum.

Xavi may be judged for some tactical decisions and how we folded at the Camp Nou vs Frankfurt(tbf the whole institution & fans folded there). But otherwise it's not like he had much of a choice when he basically started mid-season and we had one clear objective - to get that CL spot.

People dreaming of experiments in that situation, when the squad is already thin, had unrealistic expectations.

Playing FDJ as DM was tried by other managers before him and didn't work in our setup. So Xavi stuck with what he knew, even if Busquets is on his last legs.

We'll see how we progress next season and who we get in Winter/Summer of 2023 as Busquets replacement. Because eventually we'll have to get someone to play DM.

Malvolio you're the level headed patient watching all the insanity around you mostly quietly with some legit sounding grass doesn't have to be green false hope mixed in with some realism. Every asylum needs one of you.

Xavi would like to sign a pivot to be able to give quality relief to Sergio Busquets. Mart?n Zubimendi (23) from Real Sociedad is liked by Xavi. This operation is expendable as belief in the quality of the Bar?a captain is still maximum. [md]

How many players in World Football would you call a "single pivot"? Heard people call Busquets that

I'd like some names as I don't understand what this means?

A DM with great distribution?

Prime Matic or Witsel count..?

Best pivot in the world siuuu

Xabi Prieto (Real Sociedad legend): "Zubimendi to Barcelona? It's better for him to stay at La Real. Bar?a already have the best pivot in the world, Sergio Busquets." [via md]
