Being reported now by radio channel Onda Cero that Sergio Reguilón is close to joining Manchester United https://t.co/Hxgk158FGi— Jonas Adnan Giæver (@CheGiaevara) September 14, 2020
I know it's an emergency loan and everything but it still feels like a new low?

Klopp, who has lost Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to lucrative offers from the Middle East this summer, said: “I don’t know how long it will stay like that but the next two weeks will show how much of a challenge it is because, whatever happens then, no one can react any more. That is something Uefa or Fifa should have an eye on because we all have to protect the game.
The (sponsor-branded) boot's on the other foot now! Wiping a tear away here for this appalling challenge to the authentic community-rooted English transfer market.

I know they aren't calzinos favourite club but happy to see origi back in the prem.I am losing track of who plays where tho eg is lloris still at spurs? and aubamayang at Chelsea?
― oscar bravo, Saturday, 2 September 2023 06:41 (one year ago) link
lloris is as at Spurs but there is speculation they may cancel his contract a year early, as they have too many non-homegrown players.
Auba went to Marseille and hasn’t scored in 4 games, continuing his anti-streak since he fell out with Arteta.

Mason Greenwood has joined Getafe on a season-long loan following 19 months of inactivity at Manchester United, with the Spanish club paying no fee and making only a minor contribution to his salary of about £75,000 a week

the question is why not terminated tho
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 2 September 2023 08:15 (one year ago) link
what possible purpose maintaining his registration if not angling for future first team duties
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 2 September 2023 08:16 (one year ago) link
Angling for money?
Termination of contract would have been the only decent move but I can't say I expect clubs to make decent moves
― da elephant in daruma (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 2 September 2023 08:18 (one year ago) link
no i mean i know im asking rhetorically ofc
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 2 September 2023 08:20 (one year ago) link
i just think from a purely cynical PR point of view they'd be crazy to try and keep him warm and bring him back to the first team in 12 months, so i assume they just didn't get a sufficient offer
but there is probably some fault in my assumptions here
― da elephant in daruma (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 2 September 2023 08:26 (one year ago) link
Not to defend him or Utd but it may be tricky terminating his contract considering he had the charges dropped. I could see how he wanted to kick up a fuss, I know I would if I was gonna lose SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND A WEEK* and this is a compromise.
*da fuq? I know he is supposed to be a good talent but they gave him this contract at 19??? Football is run by lunatics
― sell cigs to kids (a hoy hoy), Saturday, 2 September 2023 08:42 (one year ago) link
maybe it's putting him in the shop window or something, but they've had soooo much time to get this all sorted
― NickB, Saturday, 2 September 2023 08:46 (one year ago) link
Well they said there'd be 'Sevilla' consequences for his actions

terminating a contract is easy you just have to pay him off

in terms of sacking him without doing so, id be very surprised if united couldnt just point to the reputational impact and plead a case and at least get a hearing
