So who's this fella then? It seems Real are after him but I've never bloody heard of him until today. It says he's the new Xabi. Any of you more learned souls care to give me the low down on him. Is he a genuine prospect or another Nemeth? Cheers.
Pedro Chirivella

I'm not sure of the Xabi comparison but he looks very good to me. If his attitude is right he can be excellent. I don't buy some suggestions he's going to be a world beater.
If Madrid really want him he could help open the door for someone we really need - like Benzema or Isco. Even Odegaard if rumours are to be believed.

He's highly rated but it's getting harder to judge the u18 players now with the paucity of the coverage, especially relatively low key players like Chirivella. He's basically an elegant defensive midfielder in the Busquests mould. I wouldn't be that amazed if he was looking to leave tbh because he's spent a lot of time here injured after being kicked out of matches.
He normally plays deeper than Xabi, they're not the same kind of player, but he's a classy prospect. Very calm, confident and composed in possession, he looks up quickly and makes good decisions in terms of passing. Quite some way to go before being considered for the first team, but he's a fairly precocious talent.
Cheers. I should really watch more of the younger reds. Beats watching the rubbish that is the 1st team I'm sure.
Huh. True enough.
