Noted on your points. It's ironic and tragic that the club has the funds to buy Sandro and had made three bids for him yet Marina can't get the deal done. I maintain that her Low balling and drawn out negotiation tactics just pisses off selling clubs and this reputation of hers bode ill for major transfer business in the future.We both know Jose doesn't like 2 fullbacks that bombs forward. He likes 1 going up and the other staying back and usually for Jose it's the right back that goes forward to provide width.
Real Madrid still have Marcelo and Barca has Jordi Alba and both are at their prime 29 and 28 respectively.
Not discounting the Marina factor just that all the top clubs in the world atm don't really have a need for a LB atm. Things could change but that's for a later day
