The_Rev Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Huge power play from Koeman and Barcelona (tbf it might be the board pushing it knowing that Koeman will get a bit of grace from Barcelona fans due to his status as one of the greatest ever players) but it seems that they are offering to buy out the contracts of Suarez, Rakitic, Vidal and Umtiti. They really must want to get those wages off their books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really must want to get those wages off their books. Maybe but apparently the players are pissed at the Barca board about how they were treated that they wont do business with them. Suarez and Busquets have already said they wont leave, Rakitic they have tried get rid of last few windows witg no success. Even if buy them out they are probably spending 50 million or so, then need to spend 200 million on replacements not including wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, odds are this is more of the same but possibly with the added pressure that he want's the current president removed and a say in the direction the club takes once he is deposed.

Would love to see him here before he retires The last player I wanted to see play in the flesh was Edgar Davids, in a sort cult hero kind of way. Seeing Messi at VP* would be a bit surreal. *Obviously play for Man City. I'm not suggesting he's signing for us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
