Transfer Talk: Contract Complications

- Looks like there wasn't much truth in past reports that the world's favorite manager, Pep Guardiola, had closed a contract renewal with Barca; now word is that the club are desperately trying to secure his services for another year. Reportedly, Pep has been told to name his price and all his terms, basically the club have placed a blank contract in his hands.

King Chin Dimple is still hesitant to sign a new deal however, something about wanting "freedom" and not wanting to be an "expensive burden" if Barca aren't very successful. As if anyone would think of amazing Pep as a burden! And as for expensive, as far as we know his pay is lousy - he's not even included in the just released list detailing the world's top ten highest paid managers.

- And speaking of renewals, Carles Puyol's contract will be expiring next summer, and there isn't much progress concerning the club's efforts to make a new deal with him, with Puyol complaining that Pep doesn't consider him to be a 100% starting centerback. Details, details! Come back and talk to us when you've signed the contract, oh Capitan, because we refuse to even think of you not staying on Barca.

Here's hoping that Captain and Coach will be signing extensions with the club soon!
