That's not bad as there are a few in the U23s who may develop into something better. Never know.
Even if you include White and Douglas that's still only 5 who made significant contributions, not 9 (and counting Casilla as decent makes no sense, he had sod all to do in the first half of the season, and then gets himself banned for large part of the second half).

Anyway, dross was brought in in large quantities, and disposed of in large part. Also worth noting that all those who made any kind of contribution were brought in after Bielsa arrived, so presumably a guiding hand applied to the runaway train.

Anyway, you all go on with your faith in Orta and I'll maintain my opinion, as were not going to convince the other party as to the "truth" if such a thing can be determined. We will see what we will see.
