‘Barcelona’s Reserve Team Is Full Of Jack Wilsheres’ – Pep Guardiola
By Chris Wright
In an effort to placate himself with Arsenal fans ahead of tonight’s Champions League slobberknocker at the Camp Nou, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was full of praise for young Jack Wilshere in his morning press conference…for all of six seconds.
Said Pep:
“Wilshere is a top player. He is an excellent player, not just Arsenal, but also for the national team.
“But I guess he is lucky because [Barca] have many players in the second team like him, but he plays every game because there is no pressure at his club to win titles.”
Upon catching wind of Guardiola’s comments, Arsene Wenger countered accordingly:
“I just play Jack Wilshere because he is good enough to play and because he deserves his place. I’m long enough in the job to know when a player deserves to play.
“It’s nothing do with what I have to deliver or whether I’m under pressure. It’s on Pep, it’s on like mother-humpin’ Donkey Kong you turtle-necked toss-arse.”

It’s precisely because the talents like Cesc , Miquel, Merida and now Toral leave as they know they will be held back for a few years.
Nice try, but Guardiola is not Mourinho. I am sure Pep did not say the second part…especially “but he plays every game because there is no pressure at his club to win titles.”
Now, the interesting part is that yes, Barca B has many players that would be getting a lot of minutes in many teams, big or small, around the world. Thiago, Bartra, Nolito, just to mention a few.
Potter, due to the rules in spain, Barcelona can not give a 16 year old the contract that English team can. So, they leave because even if they don’t play football after they turn 20, they would have a couple of million in the bank. It is about money.
@Miguel Don’t hate on Pies… here are a few news sources to confirm that Pep said the second part:
