"It's obvious for the club and for me that I'll stay here for a long time. Many teams would pay more but money won't be a problem"

Sergio Busquets (27) will get improved deal once the club have signed a shirt sponsor. Will become 3rd best paid player in squad. [sport]

Sponsor could be Pepsi.

Pepsi? Is that for training shirt I take it?

No. Pepsi could replace Qatar with whom the negotiations are complicated. That's what I have read.

i read that we couldn't achieve a proper price with Qatar so we reached out to Pepsi in superbowl weekend (our representatives went to the game or someshit like that to hold meetings with pepsi)
and they offered us a little less than manchester united's deal with chevy so we said no, we very well might not have a sponser next season unless we find a new sponser willing to pay our demands.

We should accept the Pepsi deal. It's more than Fuc*tar deal and is an OK brand. I was against shirt sponsoring in the begining, but now we can't pass without it with the wage bill we have and if we want (we should) to sign Pogba.

Busqs decline is a hard one. He has always been slow so if his instincts also slowed down with age then he goes from being a genius who is 2 steps ahead to being a slow inept player real fast.

Surely in a double pivot he will be get benched by Pjanic and De Jong. As a third choice he will be solid to bring some control but I can't see him lasting past this season.

He has picked up a knock over international break and will be sidelined for a bit

I make a point of not watching NT football these days, not till major tournaments.

But the difference between Busquets for Spain and for us is so obviously profound.

by alexjanosik Sun Oct 10, 2021 10:55 am

He is better definitely. I still see one issue though. Needless giveaways. He had 2 dangerous ones against Italy which didn't get capitalized on. Usually has 1 each game or 2 which at his experience level is not acceptable.

Riquelme sings busquets praises, claims he changed the role from a defensive one to one where they're expected to make the team play football (while also not giving up defensive responsibilities)
