    This transfer window has been kind of mad when you think about how many irons are in the fire 2 weeks In:

    • Rice (2bids, 90-100m)
    • Timber (30m, possible release clause)
    • Caicedo (100m?)
    • Havertz (65m)
    • Lavia (30-40m)

    Also now we might sell Partey and Xhaka in the same window??? This is a little mad.

    Just found out that my account on sh.itjust.works couldn’t see all comments/posts in this community. Some issue with federation sync I guess. Very bad for F5 season. So here I am with a new account on lemmy.world!

    @Astrealix don’t mind me, this is a test. Not seeing anything from lemmy on mastodon since yesterday.

    (edit) hmm, my reply made it through. Let’s see whether an unfollow/follow fixes it.

    My local club got back to me on how to watch games online! Apparently an unofficial fan club streams them on YouTube, even though there’s no official livestream / TV by the FA. Honestly amazed and grateful for that given it’s literally a second division Hong Kong team. Granted, it’s probably the most supported HK team, but still.

      It’s always great to find out someone’s gone the extra mile. Do they just set up a tripod and upload them after the matches? Sounds like the club at least turns a blind eye, which is awesome to see - I would be so surprised if any MLS club did that. That being said, they’d probably be sued into oblivion by Apple TV.

        No, they’re live streaming it, which I assume means there’s probably at least some support lol. The sport is big here but the clubs aren’t cuz everyone watches the Premier League (or previously La Liga) so there’s probably enough of an audience for it to be worth it; the videos looked like they had around 500 views each. They even made highlight videos lol

        I think that any leak of transfer comes from the opposite party/agents. Arteta and Edu try to get things done with as little information leaking as possible. The only one that gets news straight from the club is Ornstein.

        Apparently there has been verbal discussion for weeks. I’m guessing that’s why Arsenal leaked the story, to force the negotiation to speed up.
