I'll still be reluctant on Laudrup for 2 reasons, the first and most biased would be him moving from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 1994 on a free transfer after having an arguement with Cruyff he seemed to take it out on the club. Barca had a sort of forgiving ceremony a few years ago and I think gave him a renewed Barca membership and things were forgiven. I don't know who decided this but I think people have generally forgiven the unforgivable move in this case but I'm still reluctant on him for this reason of that move.
Secondly as much as he's done well it's his first season in La Liga and at a small club, it's still his first season and we can't be sure of all his abilities and if he's any good yet. The midfield is a tough tackling unit and the defence is solid and often they don't play attacking football. In this respect I think Manuel Pellegrini would be a much better option for the Barca fans who always demand that attacking football.
Saying all that anti-talk tho he's still my 2nd or 3rd choice to be the next boss.
