It’s Official: Goodbye Keylor, Hello Areola

Don’t know about you but I am really, really, REALLY sad to see Keylor Navas moving on to PSG.

It’s Official: Marcos Llorente To Atleti

The exodus has begun. The official announcement came down today and Marcos Llorente has moved across town to Atleti on a 5 year deal (he doesn’t look all that happy about it in the picture, does he?) Best of luck to you, kid! Just not against us.

Ready For Leganés, Players On The Move & More

Mariano took part in the final training before meeting Leganés tomorrow. He’s been given the number 7, so no pressure there or anything. Lord.

Training, Mariano, The Return of Xabi And More

Hello! I’ve been off the grid since last week because mygypsyspirit came for a visit and we were busy catching up and eating all the things. Seriously, ALL the things.

Off To The UEFA SuperCup

The team headed off for Tallinn, Estonia to meet Atleti in the UEFA Super Cup.

It’s Official: Courtois Arrives, Kovacic to Chelsea

Well, it’s a done deal! Thibaut Courtos has joined Los Blancos from Chelsea while Mateo Kovacic has headed to Stamford Bridge on loan for the season.  Keylor, however, isn’t giving up without a fight.

The Week So Far…

I make a whole big statement about starting to post again and then promptly get felled by an epic bronchial infection that has had me flat on my ass all week. Typical.  Anyhow, I’m slowly starting to come out of it now so I’m going to try again! There’s the bulk of a week to catch up on so I’ll do a drive by.

The Only Constant Is Change

First off, I must thank the ever amazing hopechaser for single-handedly covering the World Cup and doing such a brilliant job at it. She is a true star and the best watishista correspondent that a girl could ask for. She’s been holding down the fort at a time where I’m just not capable of doing so and I am very grateful.

I’m not good with change and that’s an understatement. I’ve been going through massive change in my personal life which is why I haven’t been around this summer. While I feel that all the upheaval will ultimately be beneficial, it doesn’t make the process any easier. So when my team has been going through similar changes, it has been very difficult for me to write about.
