Curtis Jones about to sign for Inter for 35 million. Excellent midfield playmaker for that price. Rich man Ceballos, would have liked him here.
That's actually hilarious, Iraola was just speaking very highly of him, and said he wants to keep him like a week ago.
Absolute insanity. I admittedly don't watch much football outside of Real Madrid, so only know if this game by name only (wouldn't recognise him in the street and had no ideas what position he played), so happy to be corrected; isn't this guy very mediocre?
Using their limited resources to sign Rodri for 50 ME and 12 ME nett wages to have Rodri, Pedri, Jong midfield (when latter comes back) benching Olmo when they need a Lewa replacement? Also their reaction to Jong being out until November would be to sign Rodri who's missed vast majority of last 2 seasons? Sounds more like ragebait scenario than reality to me.

Attitude issues were one of the reasons why no serious clubs picked him up earlier, and why he was available at a relatively good price point. It seemed he got over them at the end of his Lyon days, but I guess he'll always have that edge. It's clear the guy probably expected a much larger role this WC and just couldn't get over his disappointment when it was clear – to no one's surprise, except his own – that Dembele and Olise were ahead of him. Not good.
That's all true in theory... Now just watch them signing him and him fitting like a glove right away.
Was abit surprised Cherki was hooked at HT. He was at times the only one who pressed while the rest walked about. I supposed if you have to sacrifice someone in order to bring on Dembele it had to be Cherki. Terrible if true that he spoke disrespectfully to his coach. What is it with players these days.
Dortmund was all in the Cherki business a few years ago but ended up not going there because of "character concerns".
Weren't some PL clubs also warned about his attitude? Anyways he managed to conduct himself pretty well last season under Pep. I supposed it is always there bubbling under the surface.
Cherki will either flourish under ZZ or will get dropped from the squad. Maybe Algerian connection will make it work. 🚨🇫🇷 Adrien Rabiot: “Today I saw a behavior I had never seen before... for a match like this, it's unacceptable”, told BeIN Sports. pic.twitter.com/eJcXaHtPzU— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 19, 2026 🚨 Rayan Cherki has angered several members of the France squad with his behaviour during the World Cup. 🇫🇷His attitude was labelled “unacceptable”, amid claims he lacked intensity in training, remained consistently negative and frequently criticised his teammates.(Source:… pic.twitter.com/fXbQr4egpJ— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) July 19, 2026
