If the zubi is true the merino transfer (which was never against) makes a load more sense

Elaborate please

tomlangford.bsky.social•156 days ago

Yeah this makes no sense to me

mulletrider.bsky.social•156 days ago

It means Merino was more squad that nailed on starter. And if a potentially world class guy smile coming a depth signing is more defensible

janhopis.bsky.social•156 days ago

I think this was always true, he's just Rice rotation in the 8 and Zubimendi doesn't change that

mulletrider.bsky.social•156 days ago

At some points I think Rice-Merino-Ode was the plan, glad it's not! (Even if I convinced myself that in fact this was an interesting plan)

Do you mean from a "signing his mate" perspective? Or perhaps we paid slightly higher than was necessary to smooth the relationship with Real Sociedad?

mulletrider.bsky.social•156 days ago

Neither actually - more that if the number 1 target is coming in a year then a squad player as stop gap makes sense

notoriousjfe.bsky.social•156 days ago

Yeah that makes sense. Squad building is weird isn't it, you never complete it.

mulletrider.bsky.social•156 days ago

Indeed, ongoing. Although if the Merino stuff is true, and MLS can play games in midfield, then that area of the pitch might be sorted for a while

notoriousjfe.bsky.social•156 days ago

MLS belongs in midfield IMO, but you know what that means..... we're gonna need a left back!

mulletrider.bsky.social•156 days ago

Haha quite. If we could trust Cala's fitness then MLS having both roles would be good. If bloody tony got fit we'd be completely fine
