January Update:
Jose Gainza was happy as can be in the latest MLS Draft. He was picked 1st overall by Kansas City Wizards. After months of working on his skills for the USA Youth Squad, Gainza has finally got his chance to prove what he is worth for his new club.
Albert Molist Mora has raised a controversy at the start of January by refusing a renewal contract from Sevilla. Mora was even outgoing to the media naming them the many reasons behind his refusal.
- He feels that he deserves a higher basic salary.
- He is looking for a manager to give him a key role in the main squad.
- He also wants to be rewarded for his first team appearances.
- He feels like his agent deserves a more generous fee for his work.
This has created an outcry from the fans who have been waiting for his talent to flourish. Many feel that Mora has still not proven much this far to demand these requests. Making only 2 first team appearance isn't enough. But Mora feels that he is deserves more first team opportunities.
