It feels that way but we don't know if that is actually true at this point. We can revisit this assessment at the end of the window. After all, it's still only June. If a month or radio silence passes I will be right next to you but for now I don't see any reasons to panic.

Well we stopped going after the Brunos, Isaks, Botmans and Tonalis in the past few windows so I'd say we are to blame for that as well. If all we want are established PL players the Sky 6 will continue to wipe their arse with our shortlist.

Whilst true it's also much more difficult for us to secure our first choice targets. The simple fact is, we aren't any players first choice so we are somewhat reliant on our sky 6 rivals not being interested.

Other teams moving quickly to get their targets whilst we're moving like a turtle.

On 22 May 2024, Ghisolfi signed with Serie A side Roma as their new sporting director On 10 July 2024, Le Fée signed for Serie A club Roma on a 5-year contract worth €23 million Maybe it was agreed beforehand and there's an interview with him saying their transfer strategy wasn't fit for purpose...

More chance Chelsea sign him, just because they can, too.

Beginning to think we're not the vanity project we hoped we would be. Yes we'll spend the pennies allowed in the regs but not seeing massive investment in the infrastructure yet, they've had plenty of time. But you're right, if we're just an investment piece then it doesn't make sense we're not trying to maximise the value of the business for almost no outlay.

Still can't believe we aren't getting money in from stadium naming rights training ground and training kit. All the other clubs in the league have that money coming in but not us. Puts us at a serious disadvantage.

What is the logical reason us/other teams aren't pulling the same shit Chelsea are regarding PSR?

Wonder why other English CBs Eddie wants?

Who knows if he was a top target this summer, but let's be honest, as soon as Liverpool are in for him it's curtains.

Can't say I'm too sad about it but if that's another of our top targets gone, what are we actually doing?

True re the cup wins, but Liverpool’s lowest post-war average crowd was 29k when in a long stretch in the second division (and that was under Shankly). Their averages in the five seasons before he joined - all in the second division - were all above 35k.

No foul is wild.

Totally meh about it all.

Oh well at least Liverpool will only have £50 million left of the Coutinho money to spend after all the incomings

Wore it in losses at hillsborough and the dell also.

Yes. Gay-hating own-goal merchant.

Apparently but I’d imagine they’ll get more reasonable the longer the window goes on.

Almost every good premier league player is worth upwards of £35m these days. Guehi is easily in the £45m-£50m category.

Don’t they want silly money ?

I wonder why we didn’t have a go for quansah? £30m seems decent value and Howe was keen last summer apparently.

We wanted Harwood-Bellis 18 months or so ago. I could definitely see us looking at him again.
