Xavi Hernández

[linetty]

Rakitic, Rafinha, Busquets and Samper knocking at the door... We're good.

 

[Chainsaw]

We're good.

We'll see if you say the same thing half through the season.

I believe there's life after Xavi.

As things stand now, I'd rather play 19 y/o Samper than 35 y/o Xavi.

My worry is only defence now.

Xavi's agent informs that Xavi has accepted the role given to him by Luis Enrique for the next season. Xavi is staying. (Sport)

Wow! Is Sport actually right for once? I hope so.

Would be fantastic news if true. We need a leader in the dressing-room, and Iniesta is not that leader. Would be great if he's satisfied with a bench-role.

Xavi stays so S. Roberto playing isn't threat for us anymore

 

[Gaudi]

Xavi staying is great....he's is world class, he can't be constant any more but class doesn't go away easily. Imagine our mid if Andres is injured, not so great then?
RM have much more options.
Xavi can add something from the bench...but in future (next year) one youngster will either explode or we'll need another great mid. Of course a lot depends on Rakitic and his proving season. But Andres is 30 as well, I just hope bord is planning carefully

 

[hardyboy]

Thank god he is staying..

 

[Alarcón]

Rac1 reporting thast Xavi will stay at least until December, Catradio also reprting he stays

 

[slvtn]

Glad to hear that. He can shine from time to time and give the youngsters a chance to profit from his experience. May think about ordering another kit with number 6 now.

Very happy. Xavi staying on a reduced squad role is excellent news for the team, excellent.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

The Maestro stays.
