Eldense made the most of the last day of the summer market. He made two additions just minutes before the transfer window closed. Everyone outside the Pepico Amat offices was confident (almost guaranteed) that at least one of the transfers would land a centre-back. This. Instead, Deportivo took an under-23 goalkeeper on loan. Alvaro Acevesand a right side, Miguelón Llambrich. In total there are 28 players registered in LaLiga. 24 coins activated in the first team.
This means he still has a professional maneuvering license if the salary cap (5.4 million for the full season) allows it. If you want to change your squad now, you will have to use players who were unemployed before September 2. Otherwise, you will have to wait until January when the global catalog will be activated again.
Barça sports management had to prepare a time-competitive project in less than two months.

Lack of a central room in the team 28 membersThis situation between the first team players and the reserve team members (among them Eddie Salcedo) is shocking because there are seven people with the midfield passport: Sergio Ortuño, David Timor, Miguel Marí, Pedro Capó, Álex Bernal, Youness and Marco Doué. .
