Nuno Santo we should take a closer look at. So the player-material is pretty great in Wolves, but they played some nice attacking football tonight, and he got them to PL also. 5th in PL now I think. La Liga proven with Valencia. If Setien doesn't work out, and Xavi isn't ready... Maybe this guy.

What an unexpected surprise if that would happen. 6m is quite the sum, even for us.

Did good. Needs to keep it up. He doesn't need to score to make progress, and everyone knows it. The bojan-blabla is just that, bla bla. Fati is already a first team player, and it would be stupid to change it if he is good enough in trainings and to contribute in first team matches, which he can.

Lies.

There is no point having him around anymore, he has declined to the point B-players can fill his shoes and that with minimal wages. I hoped he could prove useable in the second stage of the season, but he won't really. Needs to go, he can still play for a smaller club as a DM.

2 games, 2 wins. Its all good. Good job, Setien. Right now they are trying stuff out, like they should, and Hopefully they find a better understanding of the squad to make us win all 3 titles.

I like the 1-game format better. Gives copa some edge. Nice to that so many youngsters and "squadplayers" fielded. And we still managed to win it.

We played quick short-passing, possession football. Young players got considerable minutes and we made use of all three substitutions. Valverdes coaching was to create the best result for every game, but his approach lacked progression and we even regressed to the hands-off approach imo, Setien...

I think we will see a lot more of Umtiti - did look good today, I really like his anticipation in tackling.

Just made an assist

I'm really hyped for today's match, I'm expecting a stellar performance.

Well if Martinez costs 111m, which he most likely does, its just too expensive. Werner has a cheap buy-out clause, 50m. Can't keep throwing 100m's after players.

Frenkie is quality as CB. Main problem with Frenkie is just we need him to much as a CM. I could see Frenkie-Semedo as a WC-combination, just need a good coach to make it work. Ter Stegen Roberto-Semedo/Pique-Frenkie-Alba/Semedo ----------Sergio/Frenkie ------Puig/(Alena)-----Arthur...

We should go for it. We are in lack of midfielders. Sergio has barely the level, all tho i expect him to pass the bar with setien. Vidal will have a hard time and anyway most likely gone in summer, Rakitic isn't good enough anymore, Alena and Puig are two big questions and likely not be good...

I like your 9-6-5 evaluation. 7 should be the cut, and if we had won either cdr or CL or even both it would have been respectively 8-9-10. All in all EV was a fine coach, not too bad, not too good. And a 6,66 average underlines that.

You know in Denmark there was this guy who was the CEO for a Danish Bank in Estland. There was a big case involving money laundering and he became the scapegoat but got a golden handshake ~ 20m DKK. A year later he was found in his garden, suicide. There have been studies on people winning the...

Rakitic doesn't look healthy in general imo judged by his skin colour. He is just so damn pale, despite living in Spain.

Ah well fair point. as long as your basic needs are covered (marshlow), money shouldn't mean much. My point was, money doesn't mean anything in this context. Valverde wasn't treated well by the club, and how much money he gets, shouldn't be a factor.

The most disgraceful thing happening the last 2 year is fans treatment regarding Valverde. There are a lot of ways to state your opinion, the way it has been handled by at least 50 % of the Internet Fans, is as disgusting as human nature gets. Look at a guy like catzi-something... Or Clemente...

Money isn't everything.
