Collado & Puig should represent the future and Firpo the past. Miranda I could be on board with because I was never convinced by the player.
The bigger issue in terms of transfer strategy this summer is that sales will need to fuel acquisitions and in order to secure Emerson 9M will have to come up or settle for 50% on any resale of the player from Betis
We had Mendes to help facilitate fleecing Wolves for Semedo, not sure we will do better with Firpo but let's see what Mateu & Jordi can do
I don't rate Puig that high. Pedri has clearly surpassed him already and Ilaix is on the way to do the same. Anyway, in his case I only meant loaning him to Betis for a season to get more minutes he'll get here (if RK stays which is very likely unless we totally collapse in next two months).
I like Collado but also don't see much chances for him to succeed here longterm and even less for him to play regularly next season. He'll turn 22 in a month and needs to play every week at a higher level than Segunda B.
Sell (or give/exchange, whatever we call that) him to Betis alongside Miranda in the Emerson deal but keep a buy-back on him just in case he turns out great in a year or two. I know clubs rate players differently but both Miranda's and Collado's MV is currently 5m (according to TM) so see if we can use one or both of them instead of having to pay those 9m to Betis.
I'm worried the videos I watch of him he's like a clone of Semedo
He's nothing like Semedo.
