Is he any good at football though.

Mbappe literally just won the European gold boot

Don't even think he goes past players much as a wide player, he's not particularly quick. Maybe he would work as a #10 but I think Howe would prefer someone like Pedro who could also double up as a striker.

Kane aye. Mbappe too arrogant now he’s gone off the boil. Osimhen is far better and more of a handful than gyokeres and Alvarez. If we lost Isak and I could pick one replacement money no object it would probably be Osimhen. He’s certain in the top 5 strikers around anyhow. But aye strange he seemingly won’t be at a top club next season, seems more money orientated.

Same, we don’t usually do this drawn out in the press thing other than Guehi maybe. Our big signings come out of the blue.

Isak for one. I think Kane, Lewandowski and Mbappe are better without question. I reckon you could make a case for Martinez, Haaland, Gyokeres and Alvarez.

Tbf we've got a pretty good record of spending big on PL talent even if it seems we are overpaying at the time. Gordon, Tino and Hall would all go for more than we paid. My main concern would be your second point of us not getting the deals done, then not having secured back up options like happened last summer with Guehi.

Oh aye, we gave it both barrels for the last couple of months of the season, frequently playing them both together (Brentford away sticks in my head as being the first real time, rightly or wrongly - the Gordon hissy fit match). But it was as much that Isak became our favoured left winger in that period, it didn't exactly strike me as an official striker rotation policy... Not arguing about whether it can work with Pedro next season, mind.

Who’s better like? He’s a beast

It would explain the delay.

Grealish would be a poor signing as I don't think he has the motivation (assumption from a far) It at best offers a short term fix assuming a locks in fully but from a human element, it's a tall ask to ask a 30 yo multi millionaire to take a 'step down' and also expect him to put in the hard graft necessary to succeed. If the price is right, sure but would rather a 22-25 talent on the rise. We also already have 2 LWs so unless we're looking to play him in the middle it doesn't address any immediate squad concerns

Is it feasible one of our signings has left the atmosphere?

We’re not signing grealish. Get a fucking grip.

The transfer window feelings aren't hitting this summer like First couple of windows after the takeover it was a right buzz. Believing every foreign journalist on twitter. Every embedded link on here was gospel Then the last couple its all ffp and psr and feeling pissed off and raging that we are getting fucked over This year is very meh. We've heard it all before. Need a Tonali or Isak signing kind of buzz to get me back in the game

The clause we seem to be inserting when selling is a percentage of the profit. Not sure what the clause is exactly but it's likely to be 20% of anything above £15m. It's the same one we have with Benfica and Carreras, who's about to move to Real Madrid.

went back to club shop and they used the heat press to put it back on for me.

I do a slow wash (400rpm) on 20. Never had a problem. Are you using fabric conditioner? Not sure if it affects it but it might.

Is anyone else worried that we're moving so fast that it actually looks like we're doing nowt?

I always have this slight reservation about Salah, because at Liverpool, he's been in a very good side, and hasn't been asked to do anything that he's not good at, from a position that he most favours. A very, very effective player in that context, of course. A memory of him that I will treasure is of him standing and watching whilst Tino and Barnes double up on Liverpool's full back to create our second goal in the final.

He had a neurological disorder didn't he? Last I saw he was in a wheelchair. Can not have been easy being the first black ref. Can't imagine what he had to put up with throughout his career. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Your-Show-Ashley-Hickson-Lovence/dp/0571366791 There's a novelisation of his life here. Not read it but might see if the library will get it in for me.

And that’s why Miley should leave.

Does feel from links though that who we sign as that 2nd striker, needs to be able to play another position for the £50m price point. Mbuemo was that, Pedro is that, not sure what other names could also be that? If it’s just striker position only, it needs to be a lot less and the £20m-£30m mark which Delap would’ve been. Again, not sure who else is in that bracket? Edit: With the player links I take it always as agent driven, club sending media down the wrong path, but it gives us an indication of what sort of value / position we’re looking at. Like Barella the name, then it was Tonali. At the moment can say ST, RW, CAM, CB and GK are the confirmed positions we’re looking at.

Genuinely have been considering all week of just treating meself to the new jersey way tonali on the back and the champions league patches, at 111 quid... but this has put me of the thought again lol.... same problem happened way my 23/24 home, had the champions league patch on that and it was coming off after a 30 degree was too... but just put a towel over it and pressed the iron down on it and it never fell off again.... but nearly every jersey I've had way a number or patch over the last 25 years has fell off or been damaged
