ANDhe Valencia has closed the winter market with three high (Comert, Ilaix Moriba, and Bryan Gil.) Y 6 casualties (Piccini, Cristian Rivero, Jason, Alex Blanco, Wass and Manu Vallejo). The most striking thing in this coming and going of footballers is that he has missing the incorporation of a defensive midfieldera position that had been claiming Jose Bordalás from the summer market. In fact, there was a moment in the month of January, in which Valencia argued its position of strength to not accept Atlético’s offer for Wass because it was a key player in the Bordalás scheme and, if he left -as he has been- then we would have to sign two midfielders. However, as January 31 approached, Valencia argued that with Guillamon, Racic, Soler, Koba Lein -registered this Monday, January 31 with bib number (18) of the first team – the squad can be considered well covered in this plot.
until last minute was trying to incorporate a midfielder on loan and low cost, but did not find the economic formula to get him into his tight spending limit. Mickael Malsa, Levantewas the favorite in the last few hours, but the Granota club wanted a transfer instead of a transfer and Valencia did not want to commit to a disbursement and a contract beyond the month of June. Manu Vallejo didn’t want to be the key either to open that operation since he had decided to go to Alavés.
The club has been able to the three additions thanks to the margin that the Departureswhich is not applied in absolute terms but with the proportion of , according to LaLiga rules: of the total wage bill or net profit that a transfer represents only 25% can be used to enroll new football players.
These have been the keys to the Valencia market.
Eray Comert
In his last public appearance, after the defeat against Atletico, Bordalás He called for reinforcements in a graphic way: “This team needs help. If it doesn’t come, we’ll have a hard time,” he said at the Wanda Metropolitana after the comeback. Reinforcements have arrived three. Eray Comert is a 23 year old centre-back that he has not left the Swiss league and that he has not competed for three months. His immediate return is anyone’s guess. But in the face of problems injuries from Paulista and recently AldereteIt was a necessary addition.
Ilaix Moriba
The arrival of Ilaix Moriba, which was closed at the same time as the departure of Daniel Wass, was argued as its replacement. But they are not players of the same profile not the same experience. Ilaix showed last season that has potential to be a great midfielder, but with more virtues in his ability to reach areacontrary than from a positional point of view. Even so, with 638 minutes in the elite (538 last year with Barcelona and 100 this year with Leipzig) can’t be valued either this booster until it doesn’t start working.
Bryan Gil
A different case is that of Bryan Gil. a footballer who debuted four seasons ago in First with Sevilla and who was later loaned to Leganes Y Eibar where elite football lived in teams that fought at the bottom of the table to avoid relegation. Bryan Gil was express request of Bordalás since the summer and the club has moved very well this month of January to achieve lower to the maximum the amount you will have what to pay to tottenham for the assignment. is the best news the market for Bordalás that he does not see the team reinforced in its positional and defensive aspect, but in itself in the creative and overflow.
The absence of a defensive pivot, the main defect
Valencia tried to sign a second midfielder until last minute. Because it was a request from the coach and because there was a time when the club promised to sign two players of that cut if Wass left. Along the way there was a lack of internal agreement with players that the club had monitored. The most obvious case is that of Diawara, that Bordalás did not like from the first moment, despite which, Valencia always maintained it as the first option. What is evident is that Valencia has sold -in a good economic operation to Daniel Wass, who was the most used player, and brings in Ilaix Moriba, who has to be seen how he settles in LaLiga. The club believes that the coach has enough with Soler, Guillamón, Racic, Yunus Musah and Koba Lein.
Strong sales will be in summer
The club has the obligation before June 30 due to budget commitment. Roma has already ‘shown the leg’ by Gonçalo Guedes Y Maxi Gomez It has been put on the market, but no offers have come for it. Meanwhile, the club has pending the renewals of Gayá and Soler that they have not responded to the offers that the club has presented.
