I won't be sad to see him go, at all. I am very concerned at the quality of the player who will replace him.

An early Christmas present @Bianconero81

I thought the same when looking at the list of captains. Who else are they going to be? Maybe Tek if he was interested, but he seems like a joker. Then you're looking at guys like Chiesa or Locatelli. We seriously lack leaders, and reducing the age of the squad also means players have to bridge...

Loca

He'll just go next season at 29, easy money.

Yeah that's true. Also Mascherano is one of the best defensive players Barcelona ever had, although I would never really call him a DC.

He came on as a sub in the final, so partly correct.

Puyol and Piqué are arguably the two best central defenders in Barcelona's history, so not bad.

This is a poor attempt to fill the niche left by Cronios.

Yeah we can't renew this guy. We all know what is going to happen if we give him 10m at age 28. If he goes elsewhere and continues like this for a few months then so be it.

Obviously should have done better with a lighter touch but that is quite a difficult shot on the volley at speed on your wrong foot. He kind of needed to guide it but that's hard to do with little thinking time. Maybe Di Maria or a right footer like Fagioli would have got it back on target.

Balotelli, Dele Alli (lol). Would you class Hulk as a failure?

When you say "big" do you mean in terms of physical stature? Either way Adriano was definitely one.

I wouldn't bet on 4 games once he has a new contract.

Think we all know he is playing for the last big contract. Let some Prem team be that stupid.

«Si certo, tutte le squadre hanno bisogno di leader e giocatori che possano parlare fuori dal campo e trascinare la squadra in campo. Sono uno di quelli, cerco di dare il 100% e mostrare l’esempio agli altri e ai più giovani. Abbiamo bisogno di tutti. Adesso non dipende». I suppose Allegri has...

When you see how physically dominant he is and what he can do when he wants it...so infuriating. He needs to step up against Milan and be a dominant player in a big game, not just small fry.

Agree that he is an integral player, as sad as that is, but I think the point above was about his actual performance - it wasn't one of his better games. In the first half in particular he hung on to the ball a couple of times in dangerous areas and ended up losing it, think he was trying to be...

That's what most surprises me tbh.
