This one is going to be a good’un, because first we have to establish parameters, and lord knows how you do that. Should they have been with the side last season, so that we have something to go on? No, because a player can improve withIN a season to become something spectacular.

The 2008/09 Season: In Pep We Trust

Wow.
There’s not much you can say other than that word. It’s almost unfathomable what occurred. Nine players left and six players arrived (the 7th, Henrique, has yet to arrive, so to speak), the season began in qualifiers, found its first heart attack — an omen of things to come? — moved to defeat in Soria, [...]
