Other clubs' transfers

There goes Ayoze's right side role for good IMO.

Looks like Rhian Brewster is on his way to Sheffield United.

Don’t understand why Liverpool are selling Brewster, looks an amazing prospect

Great move for him. Us and Sheff United were the best options (before Wilson) for him as the forwards were absolutely terrible. He’s got to be thinking he’d be first choice in no time.

There's a buy back clause  in the deal.

Buy back option? Seems to be coming more common. If they sell him and he’s shit they’ve not lost out, if they sell him and he turns out good, they’re not bothered about paying extra to bring him back as he’s more the finished article.

Think I predicted he'd go to Sheff Utd a few weeks ago

I hate the idea of buy back options, as it's another way for big clubs to control the smaller clubs. There's just loads more stockpiling of players, more loans than ever before and you can't even buy a prospect without already pencilling in his next transfer.

Real Madrid seem to have pioneered that in recent years (Carvajal, Morata, Casemiro, Diaz - now Reguillon).

Agree tbf. Just another thing to encourage stockpiling youngsters at a younger age as you can't really lose out long term.

The buy back option is just a first option at buying the player right?

Is that always a stipulation? That is absolutely nuts.

That's what a buy back clause is. An option to buy a player you sell back for a set price

First option only clauses exist also right?

I think Man United have one for Depay for example.

Honestly, forgot there were set price buy back clauses, but I guess if the club buying the player are happy with it and agree on a price then ultimately you can't scrap them.

yeah think Chelsea had one with Ake, those aren't so bad since it doesn't set a price or anything

Presumably the player could still say no?

Unlikely I know, but if he was happy at Tottenham he could refuse to return to Real despite the clause?

Looks like two Americans in the Barcelona first team

Must be exciting times for USMNT fans. Look like they should be good over the next 5 years or so

I'd love Dest. We'll see if it's true...

Reminds me of Alves in his style

Now this is type of signing they need to be making

North America seem to be bringing through some talent, these days.

Canada: Alphonso Davies, Jonathan David.

U.S.A: Dest, McKennie, Pulisic, Adams

Those European military bases are useful for more than one reason.
