You mean he rides out his contract then leaves for free or 1/5 what we paid?
Lucho is absolutely not good at rotating players, last season was especially clear on that.

What about Lucho's first season?

He did that pretty well during the treble season.

Well this season coming up it with the new signings and future signings it will give Lucho, a lot more options for him to rotate a lot more.
Last season 2015/16 we didn't have the squad to rotate that often. Despite getting Vidal and Arda, they didn't perform very well like we thought and Vidal was eventually sidelined by Lucho for some unknown reason.
The late March-April drama should be avoided at all cost.

Pretty average player from what I saw of him at Roma, and I don't remember seeing him at PSG, but I can't see too many great players coming here to sit on the bench and watch Alba play anyway. Given the state of the transfer market, the rumored price isn't too bad. He's young and French, so it should help Umtiti to settle if nothing else. Seems an okay signing to me.
I can't believe people are still talking about Grimaldo though. Even in the Segunda B his defensive positioning looked awful. He was fine going forward, but I didn't want him anywhere near the first team. Maybe he'll eventually develop into a player, but I watched three Benfica matches since January and he wasn't even on the bench, so I don't know how he's doing there.

I think Lucho, was the one that wanted to send Grimaldo out on loan to Levante to test him. But Grimaldo didn't want that so he declined the loan. likely due to the fact he originally came from Valencia's academy.
He's only played in I think two league games and a couple of cup games and one was a final for Benfica. theirs some dude I follow on twitter who's a mega Grimaldo, fanboy who pretty always makes snark remarks in regards to Alba every time he makes an error, and goes on and on about how Grimaldo would've been a better option than Alba at LB.
He's a great talent but sometimes people really overhype him.

He did it in the begining/first half of the season because he was trying different things and hadn't figured out what the ideal lineup or tactics was yet. Once he decided on the Iniesta/Raki/Busquets midfield he barely rotated afterwards and that carried onto the next season.

Incorrect. He kept rotating. But he had Xavi, Pedro and a fit rafinha.

People who are shitting on him, probably haven't watched him play at all.
My favorite 2 teams are Barca and Roma, so I watched him all last season.
This guy is Good! He's actually good enough to be a starter, but we're spoiled with Alba. If he can somehow be converted into a RB, we have a starting fullback on our hands.
And 20M is NOTHING these days, thats a good price for him. He's young and wants to be here. We're building a nice young squad for the latter stages of Messi's career, which should transition nicely into post-Messi era
Calm down and be patient. Both him and Umtitti are way too young to analyze yet
