Dest’s days are numbered but Pjanic rides again at Barcelona

All good things to those who wait.

Sergio Busquets’ red card couldn’t have arrived at a more opportune time for Miralem Pjanic.

With Nico Gonzalez being sent on his way for the season, the Bosnian will likely deputise for Busi in the next league game.

That’s some turnaround in fortunes for a player that has never hit the heights for the Catalans, however, Xavi has proven for the most part that he’s a good judge of a player and he hasn’t been backwards in coming forwards when singing Pjanic’s praises.

Whatever our reservations about the midfielder, perhaps we should reserve judgment for now and see what Xavi has in mind for him.
