Sounds like he was frustrated with a lack of being called up.
On another note, he kind've reminds me of Alves in that he plays more like a midfielder than anything
Edit: I really don't understand why he didn't get called up for pre-season.

Eusebio played him midfield a lot, didn't he?

Yeah he did, which makes him even better in my eyes, if he were to become a player good enough to play for us he'd be great to have during an injury crisis.

He has "something".
I didn't watch him too much (I will try to watch some matches this week of that youth Wc, if they will be something on internet), but it is hard to explain, imo, he has "something".
After watching a few clips, imo, I was impressed more than ever with Deulo, Adama, Munir, Sandro, Halil.
Halil was the only one (for me), who "impressed" me when I watched him for the first time, but since he is from my country, I watched him too many times, and had seen too many flaws (Iq, tactics etc). But let's not get offtopic with him.
Anyway, Lee is egoistic, he seems to have courage, he definitely has huge technical potential, and from what I have seen now, he doesn't look "stupid" (it is not nice to say, but I hate "dummy" players in our team).
So, I will jump in Lee's hype train, and for now, in my eyes, he seems with a higher potential than any of the players mentioned above.
I see something "Neymar-ish" in Lee.
But, let's wait some actual matches in Bteam from January.

If Benfica make it out of the group stage they're going to really push to sign Grimaldo in January, it seems.
Imagine that. Benfica wants Grimaldo to help them in the CL while we'll let Mathieu and Adriano cost us goals against Rayo.

Is there is a source for that or it is just guessing?

I have no idea how to embed a tweet here, but it's from barcabstuff.

So, you are comparing things which actually happened:
-- like Mathieu and Adriano being poor (anyway, why not mention how Mathieu helped us winning CL last season... but, ok)
And you are comparing that with something from a fantasy land, aka Grimaldo signing for a stronger club, Grimaldo actually plaiyng in a CL match, and Grimaldo actually performing well in a CL match.
You see, there are like 1000s of factors till the moment when you'll be able to compare Grimaldo with Mathieu.
(Again, even though you are comparing Mathieu's worse moments, but ok)
A bias is strong towards young players (and towards bunch of ifs and maybes) in you still, I see, mate.

Mathieu did nothing at all to help us win the CL playing from the LB position. If he plays it absolutely must be from the CB position. I think we can all agree on at least that much, right? Your comments wound me, friend.
The way I see it, Grimaldo should at least be given an opportunity to show if he's capable of at least filling a squad role. Lucho has shown us with his squad selection that performances don't always matter to him in every game, and at times it seems all it'd take to outperform Adriano is a desire to want to play.
