There won't be much money made on Barrenechea, surely?

7m Euros profit from Benfica with transfer and loan fees reportedly, plus I assume Valencia paid a loan fee as well last season. Hardly insane profits but not to be sniffed at either.

Adding that 7 to the fee received for Douglas Luiz (~€50M IIRC) makes it a much more acceptable fee, particularly in hindsight given what he's gone on to [not] do.

Plus I think we have a sell-on if Benfica flog him.

Has been excellent stepping in for Pau. It’s like he’s been at the club for ages in the way he’s fitted in. A solid professional.

Was at fault a bit for their goal today but he’s been generally solid.  You have to wonder about players who don’t improve under Emery.  Most do and he seems to have.

Probably will get a few more games before Torres is back. I bet he is enjoying it after being at the Utd circus, 2nd in the league and playing in Europe. I was a bit underwhelmed when we signed him, but without him here we would be in serious bother atm.

The best signing of the summer (not a high bar I accept).

Done well when he's been called on and is a decent CB, pretty good compose on the ball too.

Harsh for me.

The Forest player made towards the ball and “dummies”. If that’s not interfering with play I don’t know what is.

No idea why offside wasn’t even mentioned.

He has done exceptionally well and helped us out of a hole, but playing a right footed player at LCB  is problematic.

I think in the case of Lindelof we probably now have the player he was before ManU ruined him. If Emery can improve him further, we will have a very good player.

We were talking today about players who have left us under Emery. Have any actually improved? Players improve under his guidance but afterwards then what?

He was totally at fault for their goal but has been adequate in general. Can’t wait for Torres to return as Lindelof is his equally defensively but no where near as good at starting our attacks.

I wonder if we'll try and move Ty on in the summer.
