Couldn't watch much of the game, but from what I did see, he was very meh.

I've said it before, Lucho might value experience in defense more than he values it in other positions. After all, both of the CBs we bought this window were experienced ones. Just because he trusts young midfielders and forwards doesn't mean he has as much trust in young CBs. I'm still trusting...

He isn't a CB and there's no way we can start him over Busquets. Doesn't fit that role anywhere near as well. He'd be a very good sub to close out games though.

Who are probably butthurt that he didn't go to an English team.

Yup. We paid 20m for a player we really didn't need. As you said, he wasn't horrible, we just never needed him.

Also, if he has his usual second half of the season disappearance, Mou won't hesitate to bench him.

Yeah. But right now they're looking like they can do a lot better than that.

Imagine if Eibar actually gets a European spot. Or even finishes in the top half. Would be an awesome cinderella story.

Loan? And to West Ham? Guess no one wanted to buy him :lol:

Sums up group G perfectly.

:lol:

I probably was claiming he was poor, but I never claimed Tello was better. Besides, that was a year ago when he really was poor, and Tello really did look better at times (though the same could be said about Pedro). He was way better last season.

Well, whoever's behind the signing needs to be fired. This smells more like a Bartomeu signing than anything though.

Peak Pedro maybe but the Pedro of the last 3 seasons? Sanchez was easily better than him.

Maybe, but for now I put Rakitic and Mats above him because of price and necessity of the signings.

They were. He's the main reason they won the CL last season.

So I take it you'll be rooting for Barca in those games? :D Anyway, you predicted PSG's collapse against Chelsea, so I'll take your word on this one :p

Plot twist: it's Atletico Madrid :D

I remember you posting that there could be 10m in incentives for the DL transfer.
