Assume they only have an option to buy Jose rather than an obligation?


Looks like he’ll be back in the summer then, or another loan. :( Bad news.
Think he’s there until the end of the calendar year which is at least something.
 
The lad actually almost instantly regretted making the move to Scotland.

Within a couple of weeks he was making noises about it being the wrong decision.

And I get that. It was never suited to him on or off the park.
Beale told us how he had done all the background checks on the players and looked them all in the eye so he knew exactly the type of players he was signing? Surely he wasn't bullshitting?
 
A full international midfielder for a South American nation who is under contract for a few years. It may not have worked for him in Scotland but we can expect to demand a decent fee for him.
Id hope so but if this loan doesn't work that wont help.
Tbh i think hes made a few quid and isnt hungry enough to make the most of whatever ability he has. But only he knows that.

He's made it clear he cannot operate in anything lower than 28 degrees and perma sunshine.

Punt as a matter of great urgency.

We can demand all we like. Noone has to meet those demands.
 
He had a great reputation a season or two before joining us, hopefully he can find a move somewhere suitable, it's really surprised me how quickly he chucked it.

Yep.

We should make back what we spent, it wasn’t that much and he’ll be nowhere near triggering any additional clauses.
 
3 years left. Surely we make some money on him?
Like a few others, he will be on the biggest contract of his career.
He will happily take loans in warm places with clubs only paying a fraction of his wages while we pick up the bulk of the bill.
He will run his contract down and then get a free transfer bonus.
No one will buy him If they can get him cheap on a loan!!

South America doesn't automatically mean class footballers.
Suriname is a South American country and they aren't known for their silky skills

Whoever wrote that needs to check their facts. Yes, he moved over 2 months ago but the Brazilian season has only just started recently.

Their previous season ended in December and the 2024 one just started like 3 weeks ago. Before that they play some regional games but those are not a big deal or that important.

Sadly there is every chance this happens. Although im surprised hes got a caterer.
 
Cifuentes, Lammers, Hagi, Dowell, Lawrence.

We’ve cornered the world market in players who would be forwards if they weren’t so slow, or midfielders if they weren’t so lazy.

Couldn’t make a player if you built one out of all 5.

5 subsidised loans coming up next season.
 
He will no doubt enjoy the one day of summer during his pre season with us then pine for a move to a sunnier climate

He’s been a shite signing with zero backbone or desire to play for a huge club

More interested in the climate

Did he not do any fcuking research ffs

It rains in Scotland a lot and it’s freezing most of the year

He’s a total idiot for not sussing out the climate if it means so much to his well-being

Looking players in the eye was fire.
 
Took absolute pelters on here when I said I was hoping it would be an obligation to buy and not an option.
 
Probably end up another Herrera situation. Loaned out to different clubs until he's OOC

I'm sure Beale was looking him in the eye whilst prattling on, the problem was his signings didn't speak cockney, or have a fukin clue what what he was on about. A bit like the bold Mick himself :)
 
He clearly doesn't want to be here , get him off the wage bill , so we can concentrate on players that can improve our team.
