those were two deals that had red lines for the club. livramento had a buyback clause, kudus wanted a release clause. both things the club apparently said no to. it’s the model, but it clearly isn’t going to leave fans or even managers happy all the time
heat of the moment maybe but he’s had a long time to draw conclusions from the summer window. and he’s also a smart guy. he won’t be mentioning this stuff for no reason.
seemed very ticked off. kept referencing the ‘policy of the club’ when talking about recruitment.
some may say i’m reading too much into it, but that was almost poyet-esque. to me it was obvious he was unhappy. didn’t seem very happy at all that the caicedo replacement is so far from ready...
