  • Sorry to harp on about this but a lot of those players were brought in by Rafa and his reworked youth team set up- something he deserves credit for. Unlike a Mareen-he-o he spent a load of the money he made (from sales) trying to sort this out.
    What is the word on Pacheco??

    Oh, absolutely, Rafa's legacy will live on for years thanks to the work he did in bringing in youth, and setting up a system for the future, but a lot of the credit now has to go to Jose Segura and Rodolfo Borrell (though of course would they have ever joined us without Rafa being there).

    Borrell gave an interview after the game, and it was amazing how much he sounded like Rafa (and I don't mean because he's got a Spanish accent).

    Regarding Pacheco, he's been on the fringes of the first team for a bit over a year now, has played 5 games, mainly in Europe, but none under Kenny. He has just signed a new long contract, and as he's just turned 20 you would imagine he only has a couple of seasons now if he's going to make it, otherwise I see us cashing in on him, and selling him for a couple of million to a mid table Spanish team, like Gonzalez and Pongolle.
