"Clayts: It's a shame as he has been good, although, whether we like it or not, Real Madrid are a bigger team, he's Spanish and you can't blame him. Jorrel Hato has been looking very good, and is great at getting forward, so this could be very good timing. Rob: This is a surprise, as I would have said Cucurella was indispensable.
