People tend to say this every time a player moves to a club that isn't big as if it's proof the player isn't good, then often the player ends up moving for 3-4 times the price in the near future. Pretty sure people were saying the same when Brighton went for Caicedo.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

To me the fact that both Brighton and United were after him shows that he was very highly rated. Many posters wanted us to sign him. Not saying Le Fée couldn't have high potential but to me it's just a bit weird that when Rennes seems to be the best he can get at the moment, a poster says that all big clubs are missing a trick here. Like they know better than everyone, including the ones inside the industry.People tend to say this every time a player moves to a club that isn't big as if it's proof the player isn't good, then often the player ends up moving for 3-4 times the price in the near future.

Source of the Marc Bartra news (Tier 2):The Girona board wants to reinforce the defence with a veteran player and among the candidates, two names are gaining strength: Daley Blind and Marc Bartra (the latter advanced by Ràdio Girona Esports).

Girona FC wants to incorporate Trabzonspor centre back MARC BARTRA, who sees the project in the Girona club with very good eyes and WANTS to return home. [Contract] Termination [is an] option.
The centre back adapts perfectly to Míchel's idea.

Some players seem to want to stay in there own league, we see that here too. I was shocked npbpdy went in for Giouri last season and he seems to have had another solid seasonTo me the fact that both Brighton and United were after him shows that he was very highly rated.

After only one season, the story between Hugo Ekitike and Paris Saint-Germain could already be over. According to our information, the club is open to a departure and has explained this to those around him.

Sometimes they're right. It might not be that the scouts' judgement is poor, but an argument could definitely be made that the people who make the decision whether or not to go for talented young or unknown players are very consistently proven wrong whether that be the manager or others within the club. It's normally because they don't want to take the risk. Kvaratskelia went to Napoli for peanuts and now he's one of the best players in the world. Kante moved to Leicester without any real competition from big clubs. There are plenty of other examples but those are 2 off the top of my head.To me the fact that both Brighton and United were after him shows that he was very highly rated.

Bruno Guimaraes being allowed to go to Newcastle unopposed despite being absolutely brilliant before they signed him is another one.
Yes, big clubs don’t and can’t sign every talented player.Sometimes they're right.

Then what was the point of your original post? What you've said here suggests it would be very natural and normal for top clubs to not be interested in many talented players and that doesn't mean that they wouldn't be good signings.Yes, big clubs don’t and can’t sign every talented player.
The point, as mentioned, was that very rarely a poster on a discussion forum knows more or better than scouts and directors of all big football clubs.Then what was the point of your original post?

Betis are going for Adama Traoré.
- The club has made a strong commitment to the Spanish international and has made him a top-level offer.
- The winger is finishing his contract with Wolverhampton.
- Abde and Samuel Lino are two alternatives, but Adama's the most realistic option.
- However, the process isn't so straightforward despite some optimism.
- Significant offer from an Arab team
- Reminder: Wolves announced that they're negotiating a new contract for Adama after his previous one ended

What's the state of Barca and their levers? Are they out of levers? Have they found more levers?
Now that the Bellingham deal's done, we can see BVB going after Edson Álvarez. Tier 2:

If they had more levers, then they'd have been able to bring Lionel Messi back. As it stands, their only way out is to sell some good players in order to bring other good players in.What's the state of Barca and their levers? Are they out of levers? Have they found more levers?

An unproved forward not having significant minutes in a team that has Mbappe, Messi and Neymar? nobody could have predicted this.Tweet
