First Molinaro, then Tiago.. hmmm This has Bettega written all over it. I really wish Tiago's deal go through as has proved to be utter crap with us.

We're going to use Caceres as well if needed I guess. Now we have Sali so he can cover the right side. And no, I don't like those moves but oh well..
It might be a good idea to field Caceres some more at CB - after all, that's what we originally loaned him for. His buyout is somewhere around 11M if I remember correctly, and we should evaluate him properly, at the position we signed him for... see how he meshes in the middle with Chiello. There's no way he's worth that much right now, but he's shown an occasional flash here and there (too many severe brain cramps as well) and it would be a shame if we bailed on him and then watched him blossom with another team. Get him into some Copa games, and once we start playing a little better, maybe some games against the lower table teams... depending on the RB situation. Jeez... we have some gaping holes.

I would think that Barcelona might be open to negotiating that fee down, to boost their transfer budget... although who knows how much. Maybe after the season we could include Poulsen in the exchange :andyandbarcelona: Wishful thinking, I know... no way Barca wants the Dane. It would be great to shed that salary though. Man, I Hope this Tiago deal becomes official tomorrow. Long overdue.
