Tbf seven days in Coventry is about a week more than anyone needs

[JLawls]

Apparently it’s the same with Joselu this summer

[spoonhanz]

Didi hamann also had a transfer like this

[snuffmeister]

Never expected to see Robert Jarni get a whole vid on tifo

[destinysweat]

As a betis fan can confirm we wouldn’t sell a player to Real Madrid if we can get away with it

[Bksemsem]

Al-Ahly in Egypt is well known to do similar tricks. We call it a bridge

[Diban-CommentateurFootball]

It’s because Betis don’t want to sell one of the best players in the world to one of their main title rivals. They should’ve added a close that said they couldn’t sell him to Real Madrid for the 3 next years, and that the club that signs him incase sold also can’t sell to Madrid

same with Emerson to Barca and then to spurs

City did the same thing with Geronimo Rulli

In 1985, Hugo Sánchez went from Atlético Madrid to his childhood team UNAM (from Mexico) and then, two weeks later, he was transferred to Real Madrid.
Years later, the truth was revealed: Everything was done on the same day, on a Madrid bank: Atleti and UNAM officials signed the transfer on one floor, then those UNAM officials went to another floor to meet Real's to sign the ensuing transfer. Then, just for the show, Hugo would go two weeks to Mexico.
All of this was done because Atleti's board knew the fans would get really angry if they sold one of their best players to Real directly, and Hugo himself suggested going with UNAM to make the charade.

talk about how Fortuna Düsseldorf bought the top scorer of 2. Bundesliga Tzolis from Norwich and just sold him off to Club Brugge within days

[kennethmelsen]

I remember Jarni from his Torino and Juventus days. One of the fastest football players around back in the day. Amazing player 😊

[johnmitchell]

David Unsworth I believe was an Aston Villa player for one month. Also in 1998 (before the season had started). At some point new rules came in that said you have to spend a minimum of 6 months at your new club before you can join another club.

I loved doing the same thing in FIFA 13 in a player career mode.
Rank up -> Go to a better, but not the best club -> After a week go even higher

[VENOM-cq]

Just like Barca bought Emerson royal from Real Betis for 14M something and sold him to Tottenham within a month for 30M.

[gregkiteos]

Kind of similar to David Unsworth. He transferred from West Ham to Aston Villa that same summer, only to move back to Everton about a week later because his wife couldn't settle outside of Liverpool.

[NanobanaKinako]

Chelsea would still sign a whole army of players even if the transfer period was this short. 😂

[MaclarenJamie]

He managed Northeast United FC in 2019-20 season ❤

[jmmypaddy]

Sounds like a Coventry City thing to do. Jimmy Hill would be proud.

[EaterOfCheese]

Unbelievable that he would prefer living in Madrid over Coventry
