    He'll be class and in great shape once Ten Haag has got him back from a 10 month personal training programme out in Dordrecht.

    After Cristiano Ronaldo's exit, getting a new striker remains a priority for Ten Hag.
    You did fine without him.

    Isco's been released by Sevilla [had no idea he'd even gone there], what's that all about then?

    IIRC the manager said he was a lazy twat who couldn't be bothered to train properly.

    It was an awful move for them and he's probably taken a payoff with an offer from the Middle East or States in the tank.

    Perhaps not quite Oscar tier [is he still in China?] but feels like his career has been a massive waste of time/talent from a sporting perspective.

    Still in Shanghai. Probably a few more years before he can make a triumphant return to Brazil.

    Or ...

    During the summer transfer window 2022 Oscar was denied a move to Brazilian club Clube de Regatas do Flamengo. It was said that Shanghai Port F.C. blocked the move "last-minute". Oscar had taken a photo with a Flamengo shirt on but the transfer collapsed.
    Fuck.

    Has he signed a new contract out there? Surely he will walk away for free. He has been out there for more than four years now.

    He probably has to do what he's told lest he end up in a re-education facility.

    Isco definitely has the Hazard’s about him. Both players really fell off after signing for Madrid - maybe a bit harsh on Isco as he had a good few seasons.

    Him in that Malaga team

    I don't know that I would describe Isco's career as a waste of talent though if I'm honest. He played 300+ games for Real including a handful of CL finals.

    A bit of another unpolished diamond, but why not.

    Was dildoboy wanking over Utd signing him? That would only add to the lols of us signing one of the hottest prospects in world football off the back of an injury and talk of us missing out on top 4 Jude in summer and we complete football.

    It actually only really matters for 2-3 years. The UEFA proposed reform would see England handing out a further two places to whoever they really want for the champions league.

    Seeing a lot of buzz that Enzo Fernandes will leave Benfica in January. They want to keep him for the season but he has a €120m release clause. Real Madrid, Man UFC and Liverpool are apparently willing to trigger it.

    He's class, but United have absolutely no money. There's zero chance of us dropping 120m in January.

    Pile it onto the debt for the new owners. Nobody is paying that release clause though surely. He's six months into his European career.

    He was also bought by Benfica for ~18m less than 6 months ago.

    And as with Gakpo, buying at the top of the market post WC is a proper mug's game.

    Gakpo's price doesn't seem all that 'top of the market' [broadly the same a Diaz last year]- is he running down his contract or something? I thought the asking price had jumped to 60m+ after a few world cup goals.

    Just seems that's the price range he's been in since every man and his dog started getting linked with him last summer or maybe the one before - perhaps a bit more - but he was being linked to United for £50m in early December so, other than him being actually useless, I was curious as to why PSV seemed to be selling themselves a bit short, or at the very least not turning it into a SAGA.

    Apparently Chelsea have offered 130m for Enzo Fernandez (above release clause so it can be paid in installments).

    Wild.

    They are basically trying to get someone to pay their costs on him for 6 months but want to keep him if it goes well.

    They want like an £8m loan fee + a big chunk of his wages paid.

    £16m for 6 months all in for Felix

    More than Ronaldo.

    Anyone paying that is a fucking mug.

    A fifth of an Antony and you don't even need to worry about having to offload him when he begins to kick off about English culture.

    Given he's apparently on about £250k p/w, that probably cuts out a lot of teams from loaning him. You've the rich 3 in England. Of those, only Chelsea and United would have any interest. Bayern don't tend to do that kind of thing. Real Madrid will be off limits and Barcelona are probably in need of activating the 17th financial lever any time now.
    Most likely he ends up in Milan.

    Why do Atletico need his costs covered though? Are they fucked for money too?

    I think it's "want" rather than "need".

    I would guess they feel if they can't get his costs covered then they'd rather just have him as back-up.
