shit. worst possible time for a ban like this.
No Valdes (now I guess he will stay another season? technically he can go I think as he is out of contract, but some loyalty like Buffon showed back in 06 would make him even more of a fan favourite.. I do not want Pinto for a year )
No Puyol? same story again.

and worse...no new central defender, another year of Mascherano mess-ups, sluggist Cesc and Alexis (his good form this yr would have made it easy to sell him )
I think this guarantees Deulofeu coming back though which should be good. They need a shake-up in the front 3. Tello needs to play more!
