Renato Veiga

Calafiori looks better, shame.

Pep & Arteta both seem to have an obsession with keeping the majority of their squads anglo saxon and european ancestry. It would have been difficult to compete with them for Calafiori anyway, with their Champions league football and less structured wages; but nonetheless.

Hmm, what like Martinelli, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, Jesus, Ederson, Alvarez and that's not including the number of players with dual nationality due to their African heritage.

Check out his middle name. Bound to be a success.

I don’t get it to be honest. Unless you know Spanish slang where “palmar” would mean to lose… (Renato palma would mean in slang Renato looses).

Well, it goes deeper than that then. Spanish counterparts Pep & Arteta cut from the same cloth, majority of the squad the same colour palette. Pep’s genius and media love-in made a mockery of Yaya Toure’s experience and forced belated apology; proof always been in the pudding though. 

It’s all good though, with those being the two best teams in the league, Chels can take advantage of that in the market.

I don't get it, are you trying to say that Guardiola and Arteta are racists?

 
Scott Harris said:
The racist allegations about them and especially Guardiola over the years are ridiculous and based on nothing tangible.

Perhaps discrimination of another kind. Certain elements in Spanish football do have a history of racism (often overlooked by the press whilst gorging themselves on similar incidents in English football grounds), where the treatment of Vini Jr is only a recent example. Many of us will remember that Aragones (spelling?) Guy who was quite open about it on occasions. Hopefully there isn't a discrimination of another kind taking place where he's Spanish so must have elements of racism in his make up. Probably not but it often too easy to stereotype.
