Elijah, "red and white solution to the penalties?

A breakfast Monday with the news that Atletico Madrid has closed its latest recruitment for the market in winter. Who did you do with Sunday's third straight loss of Quique Sanchez Flores, which collapse as the year progresses. Such is the litany of questions that even the young and promising David de Gea seems to have lost their powers in recent games. Faced with Aris Thessaloniki in the European unexpected defeat of a title that stands the club Atletico failed. And to the Levant from grapes left on when no one asked him. In fact, it is time to place blame but to find solutions.

And the shrewd policy rojiblanca, and returning to the main athletic news this week start, has decided it should strengthen the midfield. The same four days ago was inhabited by José Manuel Jurado, who was transferred to Schalke 04 and who, interestingly, marked this weekend to Bayern Munich. His departure for 11 million euros will be occupied by a Brazilian, Elias Mendes, who proceeds from the Corinthians and that, obviously, leave YouTube videos in a very good place. However, his signing does not hide the wrong approach of those who rule above. Because the ideal jury would have been to keep or strengthen the rear with a right side. Elijah Is the solution to the pains of Calderon?

The answer is coupled to clockwise. But to sign a midfielder of 25, passionate and non-profile-something organizer of pearls would also Quique ", reminiscent of a year ago Salvio, on today's loan at Benfica and when it went on loan made with the intention of returning in January, although the fact that Kun has recently signed the Spanish Constitution, which slows the arrival of Elijah. Also, joining in Brazil is like playing the lottery: you never know if you are hit, but you hope so be it. The last precedent, Cleber Santana, not optimism. Its price, around 7 million euros, it smells like exorbitant if one takes into account what was and what may have.

But not all are cons in the signing of Elijah. The footballer, who will join in January (as soon as you open the winter market) has been convened in recent games for the Brazilian since Mano Menezes took over the bench canarinha. In addition, interest mattress is not new, since a year ago and his name sounded as futuristic. Benfica, who had negotiated with Corinthians for his pass, was left with the win as the playmaker prefierió the Spanish league and only need to travel to Spain to sign a contract that could be linked to Elijah and Atletico over the next four years.

It is therefore a mystery that can result on the penultimate pitch rojiblanco reinforcement. What is clear is that the irregularity returns to dwell on the Manzanares, a promising start followed by games in which he is not himself, in which Quique Flores has even lost the papers and in which the final classification inconsistencies reveals once again. Atletico is eight points clear of the Champions League and 17 elapsed leader 'only' Fourteen days. Chains three trips and the next day, against Deportivo, not worth another slip. If not, another signing could come to move on, perhaps to divert attention.
