Saying this when Setien exists...

Bravo played La Liga. Ter Stegen played the cups.

Well...that's Pjanic off to the gulag then.

I think Pep Segura was emphasizing layers with physicality at the time, so it makes sense that Araujo fit that profile. As to the second point, it is difficult for younger players to break through where there are no opportunities/holes to fill in the squad that suit them. Given the players...

You can't sell somebody who'll be out of contract in the summer.

Or you can give the scouts who found him credit for doing so. He was bought in from Uruguay directly after all.

Recency bias on your part. He was legitimately a world class player for Atletico. It was obvious he wouldn't have fit the same here though.

Okay, but what is he supposed to say here? "Yeah mate, I reckon I'll get shipped out in the summer. Tough innit?" Of course he's not going to say he's leaving in the summer this far out.

Is he actually that strong and physical as a player? Or just more so than other players in his age group? I thought it was the latter and that was why he hasn't been that remarkable for the B team?

His poor wife.

I mean, I wouldn’t do it, but he might. He’s already said he does the celebrations that his 4 year old daughter likes, so it’s not too much a stretch to say he might have done the braids for her too.

Like his celebrations, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did his hair this way because his daughter wanted him to.

A vegan diet isn't going to regenerate the cartilage in his knees. What he needs to do is adapt his game to accommodate his reduced athleticism. So far he's tried to play the same way he used to and it doesn't work.

His hairline is off center from his face.

I think it’s more that he desperately wants to score from open play. Not that he’s jealous of Ansu.
