Senorpopps Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) It's official - Didic has signed! Also, with respect to going over the cap, one needs to consider the salaries lost due to the outgoing players. Having worked with one of the current Ottleti players for years and knowing him quite well, I know (for almost) a fact that several of their outgoing players (Acosta, Espejo, Shaw, Haworth and Ouimette) were all pulling in 50K+ a year. That opens up tons of salary space for new signings. Moreover, given the obvious ties Ottleti have with Spain, some of the players may be making this move as a way to open up their future and thus would sacrifice some of their current salary, but that is just my opinion.

jordan Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I asked Carl Haworth Saturday if there was any unannounced signings hiding in the team box with him, and he said no and another guy who was standing next to him laughed and said no. Piccioli was the one next to him based on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil03 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I honest to god don't know what to make of the last game. On one end we took care of business and it was fairly comfortable but on the other a lot of it was down to an early red card for them and still gave another late goal...

Very efficient and modest, neat skills with the ball, but perhaps was lacking full explosiveness, and rarely did anything outside the box. He paints journeyman even in CPL. I watched him those games Ballou was there. Compare to the other fullback of that team, Miranda, who is at Betis. Morer is quite short, I'd say they were trying to fashion him after Jordi Alba. In fact I actually used to sit near part of his family, his mom and relatives, when I watched Barça, not all games, but enough that I recall specific conversations with them. I didn't plan that, but being a club member I could get into the good seating at the Mini Stadium (now demolished), just ended up that way. Anecdotes like how back then Barça had B players living in apartments in the city to get dogs, it was a big thing, you are 19-22 years old and go home from training or a game and have to walk and take care of a dog. I think his mom is from Ecuador or Peru, he's from up the coast from Barcelona, I same place as Lamine Yamal. Ended up in Andorra, which was 2nd division, maybe not the level he should have found. Then hasn't taken off. Big_M and nolando 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 another interesting part: he hasnt played a competitive game since May of 2023 so a whole year...signed a five year contract with famalicao in 2020 but ended up only playing ten competitive games for them...therefore he clearly wasnt in the plans and they finally came up with this solution for him...as a reminder the majority owner of famalicao Idan Ofer also has a third of atletico madrid Unnamed Trialist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's fit he'll run up and down as a back or mid, and he's technically good, so we'll see how he pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
