Kia is basically like one of those 1980s style corporate raider executives who ran the company from outside, like Chainsaw Al. We have submitted to his grand design, which is largely self-enrichment.
On Coutinho, I’m submitting to it happening. The one advantage of Coutinho is that he, like Buendía, has an incredibly progressive pass map. He hits about 35% of his passes forward, he passes into the 18 yard box often, and is accurate. He’s had to play on multiple pressing teams so wouldn’t be foreign. But if we spent £15m a season on this guy... my heart would break.
