Two days before barca gave no confidence vote against Bartomeu and today koeman wants to sell probably Riqui Puig the best young talent in Barca!!

PLEASE make Xavi talk to Riqui on the phone and convince him not to leave the club and wait for a couple of months until the clown Bartomeu and his clown manager Koeman are kicked out. We do not want Thiago 2.0. @victor_font

Look at the outrage from the whole fanbase, INCLUDING verified pundits. Puig is an extraordinary player. Koeman saying Puig is not in his plans is buIIshit. He's the most impressive player so far. Fรผck that 4-2-3-1 formation. Nobody gives a fรผck about that lame formation anyway.
