Alejandro Moreno

And so we do have this other subplot.

They're going into this very star-crossed Real Madrid, coached, of course, by his former protege, Alvaro Arbeloa.

Weirdly, I think this says a lot, I think Murillo said he was his favorite player when he was coaching Real Madrid.

So yeah, this would be pretty delicious, pretty special if it happens.

I'm not trolling Real Madrid fans in any way, shape, or form.

You guys will be fine anyway.

But if Benfica could pull this off, Mourinho pulls this off, I mean, I think this is a pretty special comeback.

Well, I think the most interesting one in some ways is Douglas Luiz in the sense that, you know, here's a guy, highly rated, moves to Man City, doesn't quite work out for him, goes to Aston Villa, becomes one of the better defensive midfielders in the Premier League, moves to Juventus in this weird trade with all these players going the other way and money and Alcraz, whatever the heck that was.

And then at Juventus, he's absolutely terrible.

Nobody likes him.

Nobody wants to see him.

Actually, goes over there, starts dating Alicia Lehman, another, maybe his dad, I don't know if he was dating her before or whatever, but there's something that they're supposed to be the glamour couple.

Doesn't work out for either one, the men's team and the women's team.

Goes on loan to Nottingham Forest.

More problems, more issues.

Send him back to Juve, Juve send him back not that far away from Nottingham actually to Birmingham where it looks as if he's going to rejoin Aston Villa.

Now, how does this happen?

Well, from Unai Emery's perspective, it's a guy he's already worked with, he's worked with him well, didn't always get along but got productivity out of him.

Villa very limited in what they can do.

Let's not forget Villa are under settlement agreement for breaching financial sustainability rules with UEFA.
