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.

It’s Official: Los Blancos Sign Álvaro Odriozola

Real Madrid announced the signing of 22 year old right back Álvaro Odriozola from Real Sociedad, pending a medical. Álvaro came up through La Real’s youth system and made his debut for the first team in 2017. He has represented Spain at the U21 and senior levels.  The signing, which is for six seasons, is rumored to be a €40 million deal. You can check out some of his moves here.

It’s Official: Danilo To Manchester City

Danilo has signed (subject to a work permit) a five year deal to Manchester City for a reported £26.5m. If all goes well with the work permit, we’ll see him again on Wednesday when we face City in the ICC. Best of luck, Danilo (unless you’re playing against us, of course).
