And I assume that is where they will be by January. Poaching Miguel in January is not going to be taken harshly by Girona if they have no chance at Europe and no fear of relegation. They will just see it as inevitable move that would have happened in the summer regardless. Even without Miguel, they should not be relegation fodder.
The club's stance on the issue looks to be clear. They are pushing the agenda since preseason. Who else may be responsible in that regard?
This just isn't a club that relies on youth development. There's a hyped guy here and there and we've seen some otherwordly reaches (Portillo for example). Youth players, unless they a knockout candidates don't float our boat.
Maybe it's being stingy on Perez team's part but i am reading reports on them wanting Ancelotti to use the academy more.
You are reading reports about what the club feels the fans want to read reports of. They've used the press as a marketing tool every so often. "they trained with anger in their belly for Milan" then they got washed.
Well we must not be in much bette shape because if you told me Flo's first order of business come January was to bring in Daley Blind, I would say at least its a start.
