Zaragoza, and something else

For some time now, It is pleasant in the Las Palmas offices to wait for the goal set to be certified to take stock of the season and announce the next. So, this Saturday's game against Zaragoza, in which the Gran Canaria team will certify its presence in the Second Division for another year in the event of victory, it could bring with it a cascade of decisions. Or at least, the officiality and signature of the same.

Nor is it that Pepe Mel's hosts need victory, Well, in case of loss of points, you would have to take a look at other stadiums. At this point in the course, just a matter of time.

The first draft decision facing the UD is to renew, or not, Pepe Mel, pillar of a project that has always achieved its objective, in a solvent way, since it landed in Gran Canaria two years ago. The signals from dispatches and from the coach himself seem contradictory, although rumors are being fed that the Madrilenian could be more outside than inside the club.

With the arrival of Jonathan Viera sealed from December, It is time to give a good review of the squad to start next season with the playoffs as a goal, as the president himself, Miguel Ángel Ramírez, has slipped. There it comes into play the continuity of Jesé, With whom the polls would have already begun to extend beyond June 30 the link with a footballer who, despite his fall from grace in recent seasons, continues to maintain a good international poster.

Other of the draft renovations that the club will face in the near future will be that of Álex Suárez, that despite the last two substitutions drag a statistic of 35 games played and 3,100 minutes on the pitch. Likewise, on the axis of the rear it touches rethink the continuity of the captain, Aythami Artiles, That contract also ends on June 30 and has been injured for more than half a season.

It is also necessary to officially solve the link of loaned footballers like Carona or Silva, although his null participation to date, beyond the last two consecutive duels of the first of them, leave without sporting arguments any attempt at renewal. Instead, the club does show interest in the continuity of Rafa Mujica, but in this case it should negotiate a new pact with its owner club, Leed United. Yes it seems impossible the continuity of Rober, yielded by the Betis without the option to purchase or extend the loan for a longer time. In any case, his outstanding season (8 goals and 3 assists) have made him a more than desirable footballer, an excellent springboard for Las Palmas.

In any case, weeks are coming within the Las Palmas Sports Union. Even before the end of the season. The qualifying calm of the last three weeks will merge with the turmoil in the dispatches. That's why it's time to play against Zaragoza and think about something else.
