We only know part of what was being discussed. Alvarez said from the start that he and his wife wanted a warmer climate. They all speak spanish. It is entirely possible he was never going to stay in England for any PL team if he had a top Spanish team negotiate for him.
We are in the eye wall right now and Debby is losing power and the width of the heavy rain is decreasing. Charlotte is pretty far inland. It might be a rainy game if Debby keeps weakening.
Preseason is all about learning a new system. My serious concern is when the board finally decides Mudryk is not developing. Mistakes like Caicedo made can be tweeked.
I hope we develop Guiu here. He looks really good and has the strength at 18 to handle this league. He has more development to happen, but he looks like he could be a beast.
