If we look at our fixtures for the new boss

Even though ETH let him go, I think we let him go with a view that if he gets game time elsewhere and proves himself, we could have him back here. Benfica must have been impressed with the loan spell to fork out the fee for him (about 6 million) and he's obviously improved since then.

Does seem a bit of a no-brainer

It’s like people want to stay midtable.

I’m not convinced about Carreras playing in the prem, he even looked slow by u21 standards in the youth team.

I know it’s not the be all and end all, but when you consider that I don’t think he’s even nailed on left back for the Spain u21s, would anyone really be calling for us to sign him if he didn’t play for us before?

Wouldn’t that Miguel Guttierez at Girona be a better player to look at given he’s supposedly very highly rated and on the cusp of a senior call up?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not seen the lad at Girona, so I can’t comment.

We obviously desperately needed a LB in the summer, and I still can’t wrap my head around why we didn’t go out and get one, at least on loan.

That requirement remains, and even if Fernandez isn’t a long term solution, at the price and given his natural abilities and work rate, he’d seem an obvious quick and ready made option to me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s meant to be very highly rated. I guess my thinking is that signing Carreras is the Spanish equivalent to going out and signing someone like Luke Thomas just because he used to be in the academy.

We should be going after Robinson from Fulham anyway.

Definitely starting with a back 3 then.
