I would like to win my place, according to them I still have the coach’s confidence, I’m still in Seattle’s plans for the future, but in a situation like that you don’t want to look elsewhere and play. Mentally we try to hold on, we hold on, but after a while it will go over the top and we will have to look elsewhere […] I am waiting for this transfer window to decide what I will do, we will see with the club but the situation for me is not good at all, maybe it is good for them, they have a fourth quality defender they can keep but for me, I cannot be this player who is just waiting. I’m clearly waiting for this transfer window to have a clear idea of my future, whether it’s Seattle or elsewhere.
Yeah, I’m with you re: Ragen and Gomez Andrade. I’m a pretty intense Arreaga skeptic, so I’d probably put AB in before Xavi, but that’s more because I think AB is gonna keep improving with playing time where Xavi is probably not, and because AB is on a much less expensive contract – even I would have a hard time arguing Xavi isn’t the better player right now.
