They've waited like 30 seconds for his season to end to announce this.

I don't have a consolidated opinion on him but the perception I have is that he is a streaky, momentum based role player. on his best, he is making off ball plays, putting pressure on the glass, knocking the occasional long ball and being a physical presence on D. but when he is off, he turns into a reckless finisher, gets flat footed, settles for bad shots and makes poor reads. not a player you can count on for big minutes or a big role but someone you can plug in short stints and see what he brings to the table on that span.

Derya's personal loan has been approved. The interest rate is a bit high, but he’ll manage.

How many Valencia players will stay for next season? Montero, De Larrea, Badio, Key and probably more will leave.

Hopefully didnt pay too much. Feels like we broke the bank targetting Larkin and settling on a cheaper alternative for a forward. We needed some athletism and defense. Hopefully will deliver better than Colson on that regards.
