Now this is absolutely disgusting and shameful.
This kid needs proper management and media training. He’s literally embarrassing himself publicly now.
I’ve never seen this level of begging for an award before. He’s literally talking down on his international teammates and making their efforts look minor, despite how poorly he performed at the World Cup. He wasn’t even Spain’s top five performers at the World Cup.
A king doesn’t crown himself. If you think you deserve to win it, then let your football do the talking.
It’s so obvious he knows he doesn’t deserve the award, so he’s trying to PR himself into winning it.
We can’t let this arrogant kid win the most prestigious individual award in football. It would set a terrible precedent.
🚨 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗: The most ridiculous deadline day transfer saga explained in a single post. 🤯
This was genuinely unbelievable…
🔸 AS Monaco needed to make a sale to help resolve a debt issue and free up a non-EU squad spot to sign Mexican midfielder Erik Lira.
🔸 Monaco agreed a deal to sell Folarin Balogun to Everton, but problems and doubts emerged during his medical and the transfer stalled.
🔸 Chelsea then sensed an opportunity. With Enzo Fernández heading to Manchester City, they went all-in for Lamine Camara as his replacement and reached an agreement with Monaco.
🔸 Everton, meanwhile, turned to Joshua Zirkzee after the Balogun problems — but Manchester United refused to let him leave.
🔸 With the deadline approaching, Everton returned for Balogun and attempted to renegotiate the deal on cheaper terms.
🔸 Monaco preferred selling Balogun rather than Camara, so they PULLED THE PLUG on Camara’s move to Chelsea.
🔸 Chelsea could have responded by cancelling Enzo Fernández’s move to Manchester City. Instead, they honoured their agreement and allowed Enzo to leave — despite suddenly having no replacement.
🔸 And then came the final twist… Balogun decided NOT to join Everton following the medical and negotiation drama, leaving the training centre without signing. 😭
So after ALL of that…
🔸 Monaco kept BOTH Balogun and Camara, failed to raise the money they wanted and didn’t free up the non-EU spot needed for Erik Lira.
🔸 Erik Lira therefore DIDN’T join Monaco.
🔸 Chelsea lost Enzo Fernández for a Premier League-record fee AND missed out on his planned replacement, Camara.
🔸 Everton missed out on BOTH Balogun and Zirkzee. Having already sold Beto to Fiorentina, Thierno Barry is now their only recognised centre-forward.
Deadline Day. DON’T EVEN TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF IT. 🤯😭
