The FC Barcelona has a lot of pending subjects for resolving to less than two weeks of the closing of the market of signings. The club expects to give him gone out to several players and try incorporate to others, but in the bench still there are several key subjects for resolving, especially with the dorsal historical of the team, although already there are several cases 'safe'.
One of the surprises of the last weeks was quand the Barça him 'removed' to Philippe Coutinho the dorsal number 14, number that came using in his two stages in the club (by his cession to the Bayern of Munich). It is a dorsal that, in any case, is historical for the Barcelona because it carried it in his backs Johan Cruyff, one of the historical references more important for the Barcelona.
The true is that it has been awarded, seemingly, to Rey Manaj, the canterano that has gone up to the first team for this season and the one who has possibilities to abandon the Barça in the last days of the window of transfers estival. The Albanian was one of the big surprises of the Barcelona pre-season and showed his offensive power, but from the offices of the Camp Nou follow evaluating the offers that have received by his index card.
This left to Coutinho without dorsal. The Brazilian was not summoned to the debut of the blaugrana in LaLiga because Koeman does not want to risk it after so many months in the dry dam, but expects that in the weeks to come it go back to be in the team; reason by which the club has to resolve immediately the subject of the number that will dress in his back... Because it already is a reality that will remain at least a year more.
The '10' of Messi, available
From it does some days has informed that Philippe Coutinho will inherit the dorsal that dressed Leo Messi in the Barça, the '10', a number that before had dressed players also historical like Ronaldinho (2003-2008), Juan Román Riquelme (2002-2003), Rivaldo (2000-2002), Romário (1993-1995), Hristo Stoichkov (1993-1994), Diego Maradona (1982-1984) or the mythical Luis Suárez (1957-1961).
It would be a true surprise that 'Cou' dressed the '10', no because it doubt of his talent, but because it has been too questioned and irregular, without explaining that until does question of days was in the market of signings and, the reality, is that the Barça has not found him team and have had to do it part of the plans of Koeman again.
