Damn, he still hates Jordi Alba. Asturianos know how to hold a grudge.
Looks like he'll build the team around DDG, Ramos, Busquets, Isco and Costa.

Luis Enrique likes "winners", by moaning with Spain about losing his spot for a tactical change that actually helped the team play better in big matches, Alba showed he puts himself in front of watching the team win. That's a cross that might be hard to lift if Luis Enrique expects Alba to ask for forgiveness even at a private level.
Only two Barca players. How times have changed.
Betis get Lo Celso on Loan from PSG
Great signing.
Great signing.
I understand Koke and Lucas. I do not understand Albiol very well and I thought that D.Llorente was injured.
For the issue Independence-referendum I wouldn't have called Sergi Roberto.
He is leaving out the full back by personal issues that should solve.
Looking forward to seeing Suso

I'd play like this if I was Enrique:
De Gea
Carvajal - Azpilicueta - Ramos - Nacho - Alonso
Busquets - Saul - Isco
Costa - Rodrigo
Yup, a 5-3-2.

Sevilla have 20 minutes to sign Portu...and Madrid to sign Mbappé 
It's very easy to hate Jordi Alba.

We have made a really good transfer window. Yet, the way the board handle the Portu-saga has made them - if possible - even more unpopular. The only thing left is Castro referring to some whatsapp-conversation, as if its is a binding agreement.
I am a bit more ambivalent. Promes is a pretty exciting signing and a very positive surprise at the end of the window. Vaclik is imo already showing his quality. He is really really good. I like Rico, but last year every ball on goal made me nervous. I quite surprised that we were able to sign him for so little money with EPL money around. Roque Mesa is a good la liga player. It would have been madness to not sign him. Gonalones looks promising and could help to lessen the dependency on Banega. Hopefully he stays injury free. Amadou had a couple of promising pre-season games, but we'll have to wait and see how useful he is. The midfield continues to be the strong part of the squad. Vidal is no Navas (that must sound crazy to people who watched him in the EPL, but Navas looks exceptional as wing-back), but a good squad player.
Oh and somehow we managed to send Ganso on a loan. Dunno why anyone would take him.
The central defence is imo weak. Gnagnon doesn't look ready at all, Berrocal not ready, Segi Gomez is okay and the rest are Kjar, Carrico and Mercado. OVerall I miss a quality CB. If Carrico and Kjaer struggle with injuries again, we'll be very short in this position.
The other problem is the central forward. Its a huge gamble to trust Andre Silva without solid alternatives. If he doesn't kick-on, we'll be in trouble.
The less there is said about Portu, the better. That said, with Promes joining us, I am not particularly disappointed, that we didn't sign him for 18-22m......We could have signed him for 12 at the beginning of the window.....the board almost did a "Fellaini".
Damn i missed this portu saga. What happened? And more importantly, what did Cristobal Soria had to say about it?
I don't know about Portu but he said that didn't want any Madrid player,that he would prefer to be in Segunda(he was talking about Mayoral.Poor Mayoral,a guy so nice),and of course everybody reminded him about Sarabia
Atletico are one down at Celta Vigo. Maxi Gomez.
@PedroMendez And don't forget that our best signing is Machin. The same players that were poor last year will be good this year - except for maybe el Mudo...I am still doubtful about his nonchalant style.
Why not try for Laporte? You need a new CB after Pique retired and he has no chance to start for France in the next 5 years
Antonio Mohamed is dressed like my local mafia boss.
Might depend on the fact he has now left Spain. If he were still at Bilbao then maybe.
Atletico now two down. Aspas.
Gomez is a good striker. Had a relatively low buyout clause in the summer
I am surprised that he has gone back to Morata while Aspas is playing well.
Not surprised they looked awful last week Atleti
Doubt france would allow it
Have France got round to picking him yet?
Had a brilliant debut season. Guess him not playing much at the world cup means he's still going under the radar but a forward to watch. Will certainly be playing for one of the top clubs in europe in next two years imo, would do well in the premier league as he's excellent in the air.
Goal and assist tonight.
If Spain calls him up, what can they do?
Atletico out of the title race already?
Looks like they are now down to ten men as well. Savic off.
Cabral makes it 3-0.
They can call him as well. If he's eligible for Spain than ultimately it's his choice. Deschamps already called him up, but didn't play him yet
Been in 2 squads but never played. Did say he had picked France but if they keep not picking him, he may well opt for Spain. France could also argue that they don't really need him given they have Umtiti and Varane.
Think he has already said he wants to play for France, so now he has left Spain he might not feel the need to show them any loyalty and rightly chose the country of his birth. If Deschamp choses him.
Didn't Deschamp say he would play at LB if he was chosen? I know he nearly came on for Koscielny in a game when he got a bang on the head, but then Koscielny didn't actually come off, so the chance had gone.
Is that game 2-0 or 3-0?
Cabral goal ruled out by VAR so 2-0.
Thanks.
