Valeri has been diving quite a bit tonight.
He has likely lost @ stepQuote:

We lose nothing by Tigre adding a option purchase price, even if it’s unrealistic. It’s not bad faith, it just has very little value beyond if this was just a loan deal with no fixed option to buy at the end.Quote:

Two heart stopping near misses by Portland..
I agree we lose nothing by the addition of a buy option. However agreeing such an option and then attempting to achieve a deal for a lesser price than agreed is bad faith and when clubs and agents deal in this way other clubs are aware of it and become wary of those dealing in this manner. Just because it's 'around' doesn't mean it's not a big deal.Quote:

Time to bring Bakero off. 60 is enough. He is not up to speed in this league yet.
Damn.
And there it is. FFS
Fraser's the one who looked like he was gassed when we lost Blanco on that goalQuote:

I think that's probably the deciding goal. Too bad. Good effort by TFC.
Fuck it. TFC can't convert on a couple of chances and finally give up a goal
Garbage line up = garbage game from TFC.
Why bother playing this game? TFC might as well play TFC 2 this game. Giving 3 points away like it's t-shirt giveaway in halftime
Bez and medical staff needs to be fired after this season.
Bit of a surprise. Telfer nad Fraser have done very well. Zav is tactical but we need a goal. The forwards aren’t playing great, thought we might see Ricketts.
Morgan and Zavaleta now on. Looks like Bradley may move back in to midfield.
Subs are strange & too late. Fraser was tiring and contributed to the goal.Quote:

I agree. I actually don't see as much use in the subs after the goal against.Quote:

I think you are misunderstanding why these are put in contracts at times. It is not always a 100%, line-in-the-sand, "this is what we think your worth and price we will do business" type clause.Quote:

Maybe it's there as a negotiating tactic to psychologically "anchor" TFC as the buyer to a higher price? Or maybe Tigre value the player enough where we'd have to pay above market to sell and he's really just here for a run-out on loan.
Regardless, these are sophisticated parties and nobody should be snowed by such a simple term. The implications of such a thing are obvious and should be readily understood by all involved.
TFC cannot buy a goal. Had some decent chances considering the lineup, need to convert those.
