The 'Yaya debate', involving Busquets and Pep, is seemingly getting endless. There however has to be made a solution. Now the facts:
Busquets was given more playtime from Pep than Yaya (3458 minutes over 2268 minutes in liga/CL/copa). Now it doesnt matter anymore, if it came from favoritism (Busquets being the son of a former team mate of Pep), the belief that Busquets is the better player or a different choice of tactical tools (as both players are obv not identical. Fact is that there isnt a bond anymore between the coach and the player in question and cooperation will be undoubtedly badly affect. Its not sure if there are also problems within the team, i.e. between Yaya and other players (i dont see indication at least), but i am sure that this problem alone will affect the whole team and its performance negatively. It seems natural that player feeling to be treaten unfairly create an unfriendly atmosphere and should not function within the team, on the pitch anymore.
Now that the main course of this is the relationship between Yaya and Pep, and its not only questionable that Pep will change his decision about his preferences, but also the 'history' seems too big, there remain only two options to solve the problem and prevent the negative influence on the teams performance:
1) get rid of Yaya
2) get rid of Pep
Now you choose ...
PS: i know this being pretty provoking, but it might make up ppls mind this way
