Less ambition than Riqui. Amazing.
But richer
Less ambition than Riqui. Amazing.
It’s such an odd transfer but perhaps this is a form of loan for a couple of seasons, providing a path to return if he does well and an opening arises at BarçaLess ambition than Riqui. Amazing.
Any reports what fee we'll get for him? Probably not much but better than nothing.
Disappointed with both his and Unai's decision but at the same time I understand them. Odds for either of them to make it to the first team were low (though OTOH you never know, not many expected Casado to establish himself as a starter this season either) and they will earn more there than they would playing for midtable (that's their ceilling imo) La Liga teams for 6-8 years. And they'll probably be back in Europe in a few years anyway.
Unai the club were going to extend.A few million apparantly. The club will try to milk similar values as Unai I guess.
Question now is where does it leave the B team. There have been rumours Pedro Rodriguez will move up who is a cracking talent. But then this weekends game Sanchez didn't even give him a call-up despite Soma and Prim missing
Unai is more replacable with Guille and Dani Rodriguez who would excell in the hole, but he is injured for a few isn't he.
Left side wise I like DaCosta, but we should probably get DRO into the mix now as he isn't that young.
Firmly believe we really need Diarra to be the crack we saw in the U17 though. And probably to give Sanchez the boot and bring in a Flick Jr.
Otherwise squad is looking very very young with a line of elders who by and large haven't been successful signings.
Prim had a renewal offer too. Was reported today by one of the rags.
