I agree he did play it pretty smart and by god he got what he wanted. Still though he is pretty good. Possibly not entirely worth the new deal but damn close to it.
You never know. One more stunt like this might see him glued to the bench a lot sooner than that.
That is an amazing image.
Its shocking how low some players will stoop to get ahead.
I think you might be underestimating Barcelona. If they get the pace of the game going in their favour then they could potentially run away with it and they have been very good lately at setting the pace.
True but if he ends up going downhill for any reason then it will be a terrible burden on them. Theres always a risk when agreeing to these kinds of over the top deals.
