I don't think he's going anywhere unless we capitulate to Roma and let him leave for peanuts.

If they're not interested then why's he there?? Is there another club in Barcelona that he's prostituting himself too? ( )

Espanyol

If there has genuinely been no offer then this is highly embarrassing for the player and agent. It's design is clearly to pressurise us to sell. If we don't sell today he should be docked a weeks wages.

Espanyol

well.... yes.... my question was intended to be rhetorical but thanks for the info none-the-less

 

[Lako42]

He's going nowhere imo

I'm starting to think the same thing. But, again, I am prone to wishful thinking.

You're welcome.

Been staring at this for ages. Can't spot the fecker...

Don't think I agree. He made clear that he wanted to leave with the transfer request but has played well when called upon (regardless of his motives). He was given permission to leave international duty which is really a deal between the national team and the player. If he were to go to Zambia he would effectively shut the window for himself. Given that he has waited for a deal all summer, I can't really blame him for sticking around Europe during the busiest day of the window

If he does stay and his form drops to last year's depths I'll be ****ing livid though

If we don't sell today, there's always tomorrow.

Should he end up staying with us (and I don't want to call that one either way) then he will understandably be, um, gutted. In that case, how he responds on the pitch will certainly be interesting. He's shown professionalism since the start of the season (albeit perhaps motivated by self-interest) but this would require something deeper from him.

I would expect him to honour the incredibly generous contract that he signed not long ago.

Anything else is completely unacceptable.

I don't think he's the kind of person who would refuse to play. But it might affect his confidence and mental state if he doesn't get the move he wants. Hopefully he'll react to it in the right way and work harder to try to get a move in January.

Indeed, it's a shame he only realised 3 games ago that playing well will help him get a move.

Hes been disrespectfull today (or his agent ) seeking permission to leave his training camp without any offers being excepted , so merely on the hope/assumption something may happen , hope the owners have upped the price to teach him a lesson

 

[Blaarev]

Is it disrespectful to seek permission?

 

[Real Sharapova]

Is it disrespectful to seek permission?

I don't think so, especially as he didn't have to ask us, only the Algerian FA.

 

[jb5000]

Absolutely, he seems to have done everything the right way this season - unlike plenty of other players. I can't blame him for wanting to leave, and if he does end up at Barce I'd be a little bit proud. If others feel disrespected in some way, well that's their problem

 

[fitz]

I wonder who's been winding his agent up. I'm starting to find some amusement in it all.
