While I'm all for removing the stigma of mental illness, I think reporting sometimes lacks nuance.
There's a difference between a clinical diagnosis of mental illness, and someone having 'issues' although the press tends to not make much of a distinction.
(This isn't particularly directed at Try Deeney, nor is in intended to make light of those who experience emotional anguish or unhappiness.)
{edit - I've just read elsewhere that the clubs will announce their retained/released lists over the next few days... 3rd Saturday in May is the deadline, acc to PL website}

Although he has spoken openly about his mental health issues, so maybe should get cut a bit of slack?
Has Deeney discussed his mental health issues? I haven't seen anything about that.
C&H is quoting this tweet:
Google translate suggest he is getting 2m euros of gloves... (luva means fee or payment as well according to Collins)
That seems wrong surely.... especially if we wont get him until January
He picked up 8 yellows and 3 straight reds in 34 appearances last season.
Maybe Cuellar translated from Spanish is John and Gallego is Moncur...
He only has 4 caps for Colombia so a work permit may be an issue, and by all accounts he's being kept out of the national team by Carlos Sanchez.
Make of that what you will.
But yeah, that seems like a lot of money (more than our original budget if you believe various sources) so I'm not convinced by any of it.
Guellar had a fair shot on him on YouTube

I hear lots of things
I see dead people, all around us like regular people...
As long as you don't start seeing clowns...

And at the bottom of this article, links to FAQs like how many loans allowed and what about work permits ... https://www.premierleague.com/news/1213395
I didn't want it to end this year with that finish we had
Nailed on.
I'm all for finding the next Balbuena from a 'weak' league, but balbuena didnt cost £25mil
Too risky for that type of money
(I personally liked Ilan but yknow)
Guillermo Franco was handy, too.
But yeah, for that reported fee it would be too big a risk.
