Guti has expressed his disagreement with the recent loan signing of Essien, and the departure of Esteban Granero to the Premier League. "There are some things I just do not understand about football, and one of them is that Granero goes so that Essien can come here. Granero is much better than him, and is Spanish to boot", Guti wrote in one of the first messages on his new Twitter account.
The ex-Real Madrid player went on: "Nowadays the best players are Spanish, and it takes a lot more money to sign a foreign player, and I think that´s a real shame", he added. "Having Khedira, Granero, Xabi Alonso and Modric on board, if any of those four is unavailable, do we really need Lass or Essien? I don't think so - we do have the reserves".
Guti ended by saying "this is my opinion and what I really think. It doesn't mean to say I am right, but as always I say what I think".
