I guess its possible that Potter doesn't know what he's doing, but Bardghji hasn't made the Swedish World Cup squad, and they aren't the strongest of teams at the moment.

Barcelona winger asks agent to look for new destination after difficult debut season


According to a report from SPORT, it has come to light that Barcelona forward Roony Bardghji is ready to leave the club this summer in search of regular first-team football.

The Swedish talent only arrived at Barcelona last year, fully aware that breaking into the team would be a difficult task given the presence of Lamine Yamal and the competition in the attacking department.

I bet he’s not started more than 5 games this season though, that’s got to be the biggest factor.

Doubt it, he’s meant to be signing for Stuttgarter.

Rather baffling for me but they must see something we don't. I good player on his day - oft v us, occasional worldie but #70m.

Fair play he learned Spanish mind in advance. Those who learn pesky foreign languages tend to do better at big club abroad - Keegan, Brady, Platt

He's a brilliant presser and 10 goals in 12 CL games not to be sniffed at.

I think he will end up through the middle to replace Lewandowski as their central presser. Look at Raphina compared to 3 years ago.

However 4 against Qarabag and 2 against Union SG does add a fair bit of perspective to those numbers, he was pretty anonymous in the games against teams from the top leagues.

A fair few penalties too.

I was listening to a Spanish journo and your first 4 words were the main reason why Hansi Flick likes him. He said he needs players who have the work rate to maintain the high press so the high defence line works better, and he thinks Gordon is perfect for it.

Me too, but if we don’t sign him, my heart will go on.
