Of course he is 29 however I feel like since his game isn't based on pace you might get more yrs out of him and if his goals can deliver a few more titles then £64m in today's market wouldn't be bad, despite a lack of resale value 000
srd88.bsky.social @srd88.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Oyarzabal has a £64m buyout clause, I don't know how Sociedad plays, but Spain are obviously similar to us in the sense that they play possession dominant high press football & he seems more fitting 9 to our pay, operating in tight spaces spaces than Gyokeres, plus there is the Basque connection 100

Given all the other teams are in a period of transition with them all having new managers we need to go for the jugular & get that second title by getting a match winner in his prime even it it means we get less yrs or little to no resale value 000
srd88.bsky.social @srd88.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Exciting but it is effective, considering this is how they won the Euros. They have lost 2 games under the current coach, 0 in tournament football & conceded 1 in 6 so far They dominated Belgium in every statistic & the BBC highlights showed 18 highlights in total 12-6 in Spain's favor 000
srd88.bsky.social @srd88.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I would counter that by saying, they're not packed with superstars like France that can deliver magic moments, they have an almost club like feel to them, they rely on the system to deliver chances: dominate possession, control the game, chip away til they get the break through & so it's not very 110
