    There's no way the club is splashing 50ME on a defender and letting the manager sit him on the bench.

    It might be game over for Asensio., which is unfortunate because he looks like he still can get better but there's going to be too much pressure on the new manager next season to give guys like him and Endrick patience, time and room to grow.

    Huijsen will have more leash being his first season but he will have higher expectations and more exposure being counted on from the first game.

    I’m guessing but I think he’d be ok being 3rd choice if it was based on performance.

    The benefit of Xabi coming in is that everyone is being evaluated anew. Competition is a good thing.

    Huijsen, Rudiger and Asencio will compete for spots. Militao will probably not be ready until the end of the year at the earliest and like I said before, is probably toast.

    Alaba will get some minutes early on, but I think we're decently covered now with some big question marks.

    Asencio will probably be fine.

    If he can stick to the script and accepts a Nacho type role, he will be fine long term. Huijsen is the one who will be starting every week, be subject to greater scrutiny and could be getting tarred and feathered at some point.

    On the other hand I don't see Asensio (or Huijsen) developing into a world class, automatic starter unless he gets playing time and I don't think they are too inexperienced to both be the 2 starters right now.

    And that's where again price tag comes into play. Asensio can play the Castilla card and say he can't imagine wearing another shirt and he's satisfied with whatever role he's asked to play in but he'll never get that big contract and could lose his place in the national team to the same player. Will he accept that?

    Asencio and Huijsen will be the CB pairing in CWC as well.

    This.

    Let's see how a healthy Rudiger performs because he's getting up there. It might not be best to pair two slower CB's.

    So the sextape was taken without consent and included an underage person. Asencio then asked for the video and sent it to a colleague to warn him about one of the girls in the video?

    Not great. But I guess it's a little better than the sex pest narratives being peddled.

    So if this is true Asensio was basically trying to warn a friend about the girl not being a good girl, the friend wanted proof so Asensio asked for it then forwarded it to his friend?

    One of the first things a coach needs to teach young players is this:

    I got a set of figures like that pretty early. Keep yourself out of stupid business unless you want to deal with stupid consequences. Being a dumbass isn't excused just because you had a reason. This will stick to the guy forever.

    Any chance Raule will get prosecuted?

    With the context if it is true any prosecution would be minimal if any.. just seems more sensationalism than anything.

    It's still stupid even if in the context of that story it's understandable he is trying to be a friend; he needs to choose better friends.

    If I have to provide video proof of a chicken being a thot and you can't take my word.. then when I incriminate myself you run and tell on me?

    Yeah, incriminating himself wasn't his only dumb move.

    Not sure if the friend wanted proof necessarily. Unless I misunderstood, the friend ended up having a sexual relation with one of the girls after the fact.

    My impression is that the girl found out that a sextape of her was circulating through that specific colleague and here we are.

    The version I read is that footballers involved in having sex and recorded it lied to the girls that they had deleted it.

    Asencio asked them for the tape and sent it to the bf of one of the girl's to warn him that they lied about deleting the tape. BF is witness and Asencio is in legal trouble for acquiring and sending the tape to him as proof.

    That is incredible and aligns with Asencio needing to pick better friends and make better decisions.

    In the end he is an idiot and so is the "friend" who is the BF of a very promiscuous young lady.

    Yea. Stupid from Asencio. At least Benzema had the excuse of growing up in the hood and loyalty factor to childhood friends turned criminals.

    I don't know enough about the law. But since the girl is underage, he is spreading or distributing child pornography. Or his action can be considered in procession of child pornography. The persecutor probably can build a case against him.
