Can't be helped if the player doesn't want to join us. Can't force him. All that means is that Betis couldn't sell him to anyone whose bid we matched.

Just a garbage nonsense clause that made giving Lo Celso away for free seem like slightly less of an admission of failure than it was.

Modern day equivalent of receiving Frazer Campbell on loan as part of the Berbatov deal.
If it was a genuine option to buy then Cardoso would have has to agree to it including salary etc. If it wasn't that then if exercised it might give us the difference between the cash Betis get and €25m so Atletico would have to negotiate with us to sign him.

Yeah does seem that way. I’ve seen very little of him so don’t know if he’s any good or not but if the coin wanted him then it’s a waste
 
Don’t want no European runner up anyway, we take winners only, thanks.

All seriousness, if there’s any truth that Bayern are gonna sell/ listen to offers for Palhinha already I think we should be all over that. Baleba at Brighton looks a bit of a beast too, standard Brighton wonder-signing as per.

Now that it looks like we've decided to go for Benjamin Sesko ahead of Viktor Gyokeres, it does make me think whether you guys will go for the Swedish striker instead. You guys clearly need a better option up front. I'm not convinced Richarlison will stay and I think Solanke, though is a decent Premier League player, isn't a top-5 level centre-forward (in my opinion).

Any of you reckon you'll be in for Gyokeres?
 
I'm a long time 'Trekkie' but was a bit burned out by DS9 and didn't really love Enterprise, either.

Maybe time to re-visit?

Today's biggest transfer news: Dan KP has left the Standard for The Athletic to be an editor

So somebody's losing Tier 1 status, as Dan KP and Jack ****t-Brooke can't both be their Spurs correspondent

Also sums up how bad the Standard is now

They'll probably have no problems finding new clubs, though Whiteman's might be at quite a low level.
I believe Werner's only got a year left on his contract, but his reputation's quite screwed now.
I hope that he can recover it a bit, as he always put a good shift in for us, even when it wasn't working.

Can't say that any of the academy releases really stand out, to be honest.
Doesn't mean that they can't turn it round from this point, though.
Players like Eze and Vardy prove that.
