FootballChicago Fire 3-1 Vancouver Whitecaps: 3.91 xG, 37 shots, 4 on target
Bamba struck inside nine minutes, Zinckernagel answered his own post, and Haile-Selassie sealed it late at Soldier Field.
No transfer worth €10.0M or more has been completed in the past 14 days — a rare full stop in the market.
The market has gone quiet. Fourteen days, zero deals at or above €10.0M, no headline signing, no club topping a spending chart. For a column built on fees and totals, the total this fortnight is 0.
The silence is the data. Big-spender lists need spenders, and the past two weeks produced none worth charting. No record fees, no marquee moves, no dominoes. The notable-deal folder? Empty. Even the secondary market stayed below the threshold. RADAR-STAT: No transfers ≥ €10.0M in the last 14 days.
Quiet stretches like this tend to end the same way: one club moves first, pays big, and every number that follows gets measured against that fee. When the breakthrough comes, these charts refill fast. Until then, the biggest number in the game is the smallest it can be. The next €10M-plus deal will set the tone for everything that follows — and when it lands, this column leads with it.
