[relevo] Zubimendi to stay at Sociedad.

  1. August 12th with barely any other concrete links, 0 contract extensions, and 0 first-team players signed.

    I actually rate Slot but so far his window is not going that well.

    Edit: I’m obviously not blaming Slot, it’s not his fault.

  2. May be because I’ve not really been following this story but it doesn’t seem that shocking. If he wasn’t going to go to Barca or Arsenal then I doubt a Kloppless Liverpool would have got him either.

  3. Frustrating as we were clearly lead to believe he was interested, whether that’s a sketchy agent wanting to secure a new deal or what, we’ll likely never know.

    Even more frustrating is that this seems to be it? No other targets. Just tried once and that’s that. Well roll with what we have.

  4. I wonder where that Liverpool fan is who was clarifying that he rejected Arsenal lmao.

  5. Liverpool have surprisingly little pull with top players considering their European history. Seems like every summer at least 1 highly sought after player rejects them.

  6. Everyone spam that Anfield Agenda guy for getting another major transfer wrong. “I can assure you he’s coming. From what I hear from my inside sources all signs point to him coming”

    Tchouameni, Bellingham, Caicedo, Zubimendi it’s genuinely like a Hall of Fame jinx

  7. Same shit different transfer window. Bunch of unserious people running the transfer backrooms

  8. Must say, that “explain why Zubi picked Liverpool’ thread from a few days ago makes for very funny reading now. Some of the arrogance on display.

  9. Hughes has literally done nothing this summer and the first player of need that he has actually tried to sign has ended up in a major public embarrassment.

    Imagine messing up a job in such a manner and still have no repercussions. The dream of every working professional.

  10. Are they bidding in pesos or something, what is this, they have cl and no one is coming?

  11. Sociedad must have offered more money, I hear that’s the only reason anyone ever rejects Liverpool.

  12. Sociedad wanted to keep one of Merino or Zubimendi. Merino is into his final year so obviously he’s the one to sell.

  13. Time to stay off the Liverpool sub for a bit tbh, echo chamber of negativity.

    I get fans being annoyed that we’re not signing a backup but not market for CDM’s at the top level is dead and out squad really isn’t as terrible as people are making out. Slot has almost too many midfielders to work with.

    If we were going into the season setting up with a single 6 and only having Endo/Macca or Bajcetic to use then I would be concerned as neither are currently good enough for a long role. In a double pivot we’re not in a terrible position.

    Maybe Zubimendi has burnt his bridge with Hughes/Edwards/Slot now but maybe he ends up signing in Jan after giving Sociedad time to find replacements. Sounds like Sociedad put a lot of pressure on him about leaving them in a bad place and maybe when the window closes he’ll come to regret his decision. Being potentially guilt tripped into staying usually doesn’t end well long term.
