The fans majorly contributed to what happened with Puig if we want to be honest.  The whole social media hype and drama did him more harm than good.  

Everyone was against Koeman for asking Puig to leave on loan.  Even the media didn’t help the young man. 

Koeman wasn’t the best of coaches but, we was definitely right about the youngsters.  

Same players Koeman chose ahead of Puig are all still ahead of him even after Xavi’s arrival.  

Worse part is that Pablo Torre just signed and was picked ahead of Puig by Xavi.  


We’ve always had good players who didn’t get playing time at Barca.  

The Santos brothers 
Thiago and his brother 
Denis Suarez 
Romeu 
Alena etc.  

Some players are destined to succeed outside of Barca and we the fans must learn to accept this truth sometimes.

Like someone already said, either of Pjanic, Busquets or even both will definitely leave by the end of the season.  By then Nico will be back and ready to take over from them.  

Valencia is a good team and Gatuzzo will definitely improve him as a rugged DM.

I wish Puig had this sense last season. Btw it's a smart call from Nico one of Busquests or Panic will definitely leave next year. He can come back with some good minutes and will be more developed.

Sumit More 

He'll partner with Ilaix Moriba or even compete with him for a spot in the team!
