Meriton grants power to Bordalás

Valencia closed the transfer market on Tuesday with the arrival at the last minute of Getafe striker Hugo Duro, who lands at Mestalla on loan with an option to buy, and Helder Costa, also on loan. There are five, six if you count Mamardashvili, the players that Valencia has signed: Alderete, Marcos André, Foulquier, Hugo Duro and Helder Costa. The first four have been expressly requested by the Alicante coach and in the case of the Portuguese, the coach gave the go-ahead last Tuesday.

What's more, The club has tried to sign the two players Bordalás had written in red when he signed for Valencia: Arambarri and Djené. The attempts were unsuccessful but it is true that the club tried to convince Getafe to sell them. The economic hardships made the agreements impossible but Bordalás will not give up and surely will request his transfers again in the January market or next summer.

Therefore, the power that has been given to Bordalás in the matter of making the squad has been maximum. Peter Lim and Murthy trust the taste of the coach and have tried, as far as possible, to satisfy his needs. There has been a gap that Bordalás would have liked to cover but finally, after all his heavyweights remain in the team, the squad is quite acceptable.

Likewise, from the offices they have also paid attention to Bordalás about offered footballers, considered interesting by the technical secretariat, but who were not to the liking of the coach. There have been several cases throughout the summer. Loren Morón or Gabriel Pires have been dismissed because Bordalás did not see them interesting for his project.

In the chapter on casualties, the technical secretariat has also tried to place the players who did not count, although in this case with less luck. Sobrino went to Cádiz and Jason tried until the last moment.
