Thrilled for Raphinha. I would've gone Pedri, but it was close. Worth remembering that Lamine was at his best in the UCL knockouts. Objectively speaking over the 38, Raphinha was more deserving of this award. Massive accomplishment for him.

Of course. Their roster needed more work than ours. Also: 1) Extensions aren't nothing; 2) We've limited funds; and 3) It's only June 5. The only thing I really expected this summer was a back-up LW. It looks like we're going to get a GK, too, so we'll actually sign more than I expected.
