Mmm, think I might be out of luck too

Crap, what size are your other shirts?

Sold out online now

I wonder if this has all been a PR stunt by JD Sports? Certainly fooled me if it has been 😅

Just ordered the same, brilliant!

It's mad that they've been available in Thailand since May

100%, for all we know PIF might have something up their sleeve to boost income to accommodate these signings. I'm not saying they will but there's ways to do it if they wanted to.

100%, I'd also be even more confident with an additional midfielder too (in dreamland!).

You mean these ones? I bought these a few months back in Thailand.

If the media make a big deal of this then Arsenal and The Met will have a lot to answer. Also interesting to see what Starmer knew about it, I can't see how he didn't know.

Dalglish had a great eye for a player. Clouded by us being skint when he came in so we had to hire a few oldies but he's signed some great players over the years. Carroll would be viewed a lot differently without the injuries.

At what point can we start to command the same price, as fair market value, for our sponsorship deals as the "cartel clubs", even if they are related to PIF? Surely we can make a case to charge the same as Man U and Spurs given our league finishes over the last few years and winning the cup? I'd be fairly confident that we'd win any court case and I'm also sure a costly legal battle is the last thing the PL would want.

There are much better dining, shopping, and entertainment options in London plus other differences. An important point is if he has a lass as they'd much rather be in London, all things being equal.

The blue looks good on Newcastle's Samba

Coutinho, where did he do well after Liverpool? You mean his initial loan at Villa from Barcelona? The club talks about trying to use more data in their recruitment and it's instances like Grealish where it should be used as it would raise so many red flags. It's not just about using data to identify certain characteristics in a player but to also help in decision making.

We're really scraping the barrel for examples if we're using Rashford. I don't see many teams going for him after his loan spell which says it all. Best examples I can think of would be Cantona or Dennis Bergkamp who did well over here but that was where they didn't settle in another league or had problems.

None of them left a club where they weren't getting a game at their peak playing age, not remotely like Grealish. All those players moved on when they were young to make their name or were playing for the team they left.

13 appearances for Chelsea and left at 23 is not quite similar to Grealish who is nearly 30 and has over 200 appearances.

Can you name a similar profile of a player, in their peak years, not getting game time at a top team who has moved on elsewhere to do well?

Different scenario as Cole was sold to upgrade to Ferdinand in the same position. Selling Barnes would be weakening our left side with either no replacement or a worse player.

I'd be gutted if we did sell Barnes and not Willock. Not sure we'd get much for the latter but he's the type we should be shifting instead of Barnes.

We're always going to have PSR problems where they'll be low and highs regarding transfer Windows until our income dramatically increases.

I immediately think of Officers Club for that sales gimmick but that wasn't related to Ashley.

I'd like us to go for either a free or pay a low transfer fee for a 30ish year old back up in midfield; a Jorginho or Trippier (equivalent to Trippier) type signing just to do a job for a season or two before we really invest in that area. Possibly send out Miley on loan to really see what he's got at the same time.

You don't let a take it or leave it offer run to the last few days of the transfer window. The "leave it" part means you leave it to move on to your next target. It's not that much of a grand conspiracy, there's not many moving parts. Two clubs, one player.
