Xavi confirms: “I want Sergi Roberto to stay and sign new deal, it’s up to him now”. “The club and the player are both aware of my plan to keep Sergi, he’s always been key player for me”.

1. Amigos FC strikes again /s

   But on the other hand let him get whatever he wants and then we can finally see if he can hold up to those expectations or not

2. I think keep roberto is fine right now as he helps to fill in the roles unlike in the past where he would start every game and do very little. Roberto now feels more like what milner used to be for Liverpool.

3. To be honest Sergi has always been a versatile player that can be a back up player in multiple positions. He knows it and is happy with it. He took a salary cut. And he can be a clutch, as seen in many games. He plays for the badge, which makes him a great captain when on the pitch. Valid request by Xavi.

4. And this is why next season is doomed because Xavi values nepotism over meritocracy. Can’t wait to lose the chance at more trophies because of his hard-on for forcing Roberto into matches he’s not good enough for.

5. He’s a good sub

6. We have way too many injury problems anyways, no point letting a versatile player leave and thinning the squad further so yeah
