Does he even play left back?
Only heard that he is very capable of playing almost anywhere except purely attacking position.

All the signings Madrid did until now are very low key. Can we still expect something or is austerity now also the motto for Madrid? Any insights from the Madridistas?
Doesn't need to be high key. For what, 7-8 years already, Madrid required stability and lately they only got 1.5 seasons with the same coach and similar squad. Now with Mourinho they'll get a lot more of it if the players keep their form and mentality from the previous season. I don't expect any important acquisitions, unless Bilbao will officially enable Llorente to contact other clubs as to his transfer since it's the only possible high profile transfer RM could possibly make.
As for Altintop being non-factor, sure he will be less important, but it will allow Mourinho to rotate the squad more often since it won't only be Arbeloa who will be the regular role player.
Good transfer without having to pay anything and Altintop also agreed to very, very average wages which doesn't put pressure on anyone.
