Well Moyes reiterated the need for a leftback as his top priority along with a CM. It really is amazing to think that Fabio even as a backup was lesser of a player than Buttner.
Hope Rafael's last 2 performances have had nothing to do with being distracted with his brother's pending departures Yes, he is a professional but, pros being human and all it's quite possible. Even if it was weighing on his mind, hopefully now that it's finalized he'll get his head back to being 100% focused - at least during games.
