Or 5-3-2

If a bid from LFC comes in tomorrow it is important we string them along before we reject their lowball offer so they have no time for a plan B

We need to play Hall if we go with wing backs. I think EH was exploring options to get Botman into the team and also get support closer to the striker with the two Jacobs in this instance. Despite the poor display I think we were solid defensively and with better players on the pitch the system should remain an option. As an aside, the crossing from dead balls was atrocious, especially given we had three big CB to hit.

And only if Isak gives up his loyalty bonus.

Agree, Wilson was finished last year

At least put him on the initial team sheet

Well he has one out of two at best

If we had to spend £50m on a short term replacement can we sue Isak for costs arising from his breach of contract?

Time to lawyer up......and get the Saudi Secret Service involved

They can't release details like that without breaching their responsibilities as an employer. They could make a general statement that any player who makes themselves unavailable without due cause will be fined.

I'll just check the date on his transfer request. Club should make it clear that anyone suggesting he has made a formal transfer request will be sued for slander.

Pope

He played wide striker when Toney was at Brentford

Ideally we buy a replacement; fine Isak every week he's not available; turn every LFC bid down; accept a Saudi bid of £150m on 2 September and offer him a new contract with an option to leave in 2026 abroad. Should be staying or should he go?

Given our present striker situation does anyone think Joe could do a job as a 9? Possibly playing a Firminho role linking play whilst the wingers run deep. Frees up a position for Ramsey in midfield.

New CEO

Those verbal agreements aren't worth the paper they're written on

With Trafford off to Citeh we can boot the new GK down the road, freeing up some extra cash for a top striker or whatever

Still trying to get over the Shackleton sale myself

Won't sign for Liverpool then....

At the same time NUFC benefit from letting Atlanta know there are alternative CBs under consideration

He could be our new RW the rate we are going

Probably here to celebrate his new contract

Anyone seen him today? What's going on?

He's on just after Chris Waddle
