Carles Puyol

[BensGrandad]

Carles Puyol is leaving Barcelona at the end of the season 35 years old only played 12 times this season due to injuries.

 

[Horton hears a few]

Maybe he'll sign for Brighton!

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

off to the US,top up the pension

 

[Frutos]

He'll probably head to the Far East for a year or two and then go back for some kind of coaching role at Camp Nou or La Masia.

Awesome defender at his peak, but falling apart physically at this stage.

 

[Horsham Gull]

no one else has yet so..









COULD DO A JOB

 

[glasfryn]

exactly my thoughts
but I think like others he will go to the US or take a coaching job in Spain
but definitely could do a job....................maybe

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Maybe he'll sign for Brighton!

Yay!

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Been out with injuries....dead cert for Albion....

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Lady Bracknell (addressing a meeting of Worthing Seagulls): To lose out on Messi from Barcelona, Worthing Seagulls, may be regarded as a misfortune for our club. To lose out on both Messi and Puyol looks like carles(ness).

 

[Stevie Boy]

Anything on football rumours about him coming?

 

[Yorkshire-Seagull]

I always thought it was Carlos, not Carles.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

If it is a straight choice between us and someone like Bracknell, he will clearly pick the latter as they would be willing to pay more.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I always thought it was Carlos, not Carles.

Definitely Carles, the Catalan version of Carlos (ie Charles).

He'd certainly fit the age profile of our back four ...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I always thought it was Carlos, not Carles.

Carles. Definitely. A Catalan thing.

Just a thought nothing to do with Football Rumours but could he join us on the coaching side and register as a player like Tanno did as an emergency cover. Wouldnt have thoought that money was a top priority of his as he must be wealthy.

 

[Driver8]

According to SSN he cannot continue playing due to the extreme pains he gets from his injuries. I can't see him signing for anyone, least of all us.

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

coaching job instead of NJ ?

SPANISH CHARLIE!

I'm on board.

I think he is, along with Maldini, my favourite player.

 

[Napper]

I think he is, along with Maldini, my favourite player.

I like Puyol to.

He must be up there for winning most trophys as a player. Can't be many that have won a World cup / Euros / Confederations / 3x Champs league / Fifa world club / Olympics , 2 Super cups and an absolute haul of domestic trophys.

Decent attitude , 1 club man. Has won the lot.

Injuries aside , I reckon there would be loads of teams prepared to chance it if a slim chance of getting games out of him
