Alex Collado and FC Barcelona maintain different positions. The player's entourage ensures that he will wear Blaugrana colours this season, but the club recommend him to leave on loan. [goal]

He, among with Mavericky, Pjanic, Umtiti, Manaj are on Koeman's red list, he wants them to go before transfer window ends.

Puig knows, good luck getting Koeman to rotate & play anyone other than his preferred players

He also knows this is probably Koeman's last season. He was signed with 2 year contract right? He may be smarter than he looks. If Xavi comes in his situation could change dramatically.

Still two years wasted for Puig. Barcelona is only proposing a loan for him, so he would come back. It would be/have been best for him to take it and not stay for shitcan minutes.

Doubt Xavi can come while Laporta is still here. Or if he comes but not until World Cup is over. It means there is two more years of cleaning the bench for Mavericky (if he doesn't go on loan and stays).

What's smart about it? Sitting on the bench for a season and a half (he might've hoped he'd win Koeman over in the beginning) fully aware you're not gonna play while waiting for Xavi who might, but also might not come? And at the same time, all that club's proposing is a loan deal.

Serghei, deal with it, your golden boy's got no ambition and all he wanna do is enjoy his status of a Barca player.

I really don't think Koeman is the boogeyman you make him out to be. Collado was pitted against Demir and lost. We can't sufficiently nurture both. Tough luck, but a reasonable decision. And one I expect Xavi to agree with.

He's not my golden boy. Do you see me posting images from his social media accounts :lol:?

If he makes it at Barca it's with a total football type manager, a Cruyff-inspired type. Not a terrible idea to wait and see if Laporta names one of this ilk post-Koeman. Koeman has more in common with EV than with the likes of Pep. He prefers stronger, more athletic robust types, and his football is direct and often pretty rigid compared with the fluidity of Cruyff style. Best managers of this type are Pep, Tuchel, partly Klopp. Xavi could be the next one to apply and further tweak this vast and complicated style, he certainly has the knowledge for it.

Of course, going on loan just for 1 season would have been the best option, but don't now if it was on the cards for him or not.
