The Open Thread/Daily Merengue is a place where you can discuss anything and everything related to football. Feel free to discuss the topics presented here, or start your very own discussions! The Open thread will be posted every day by one of the mods you’d totally treat to Mexican and cocktails: Valyrian Steel, Felipejack, Kung_Fu_Zizou (AKA KFZ), Juninho and, of course... yours truly

A 16-year-old will “strongly burst into the first team”? How many times has that happened? Carvajal may be going strong for now, despite there being doubts about his remaining longevity as a starter. Yet, the man’s no spring chicken. A 16-yo breaking out so quickly and so strongly that he will be able to replace Carva in the XI sounds... like wishful thinking. And, to quote Prince of Persia The Two Thrones: “Experience has taught me that wishful thinking only leads to disappointment”. But hey, it’s just a rumor.
