Guys please realise he could leave for free next summer. And I have no doubt he would, if he's not happy. He's not going to become a first teamer next season.

So in the choice between losing him for free or getting £3.5 million for him it's fairly obvious which I'd pick.

And it's not THAT big a loss -- yes, he's talented, but he's far from the finished article. Barcelona are still taking a risk buying him, and we've got Evans as a young defender who we can nurture. There was probably only ever going to be room for one of them.

And if the Richards rumours are true, then that makes it even less likely Pique would get game time.
