I don't understand what Pep see's in him tbh. He's 30 years old and never really looked like he'd get any better. I appreciate that he's experienced, left sided, counts as homegrown, and probably willing to sit on the bench at times, but everything about this suggests that he's a 'stop-gap' signing and that really goes against the theme that Pep has been trying to follow with us. He hasn't really signed stop-gap players for us previously, so the only reason for this can be that there's genuinely not an attainable target available to us that Pep/the club feel can come in and improve the team. Whether that's because of finances, timescales to do the deal or just that there's a issue with quality on the market, I dunno. But I'm underwhelmed to say the least.
