Taylor Swift

I did some Wise-scouting, he looks like he’s strong, fast and has a decent touch. Young enough that there’s a chance he gets a lot better. Let’s spend £50m on him to develop behind Wissa.

I’m reading this as the club negotiating through the public. They’re saying Jackson’s price has to be more reasonable.

Rumoured price? £50m?

We all want new toys. If we have to sell Isak, I want a £60m attacking midfielder, someone that will be exciting to watch like Akliouche who I just Wise-scouted.

You understand the point. We can sell the player again at 29 or 30. If we don’t sell Joelinton by next year, that’s £40m in PSR potentially gone. Maybe we’ll get £10m from a newly promoted team.

I did read it! If we got £50m or £60m, would you be happier? MGW’s release clause was £65m, he’s only 25. My point is we have to recycle the money regularly until we build up the revenue base.

He’s turning 29 in a few days. I would guess that next year is the last year we’ll get good money for him. We don’t have PSR room, we have to be ruthless with who we sell.

True, prices have gone up. He’s turning 29 in a few days. He should be sold next year to a Saudi team. &nbsp

Joelinton is the type of player Liverpool would sell for £40m and reinvest.

RW, CB, GK sorted. ST almost done with Wissa. If we didn’t have the Isak drama, I would give this window a 9/10. If Isak leaves, we need to replace him and I would want an attacking midfielder in as well, to make sure we create enough chances.

That was what we did last year with Adarabayo, looked how that turned out.

Ipswich asking for more than £35m for Hutchinson. Dibling might go for £45m. If we’re shopping in another market, we need to be prepared to pay.

Chelsea just sold Broja for £20m. Prices have gone up.

Jackson was the starting striker for a team that finished above us. We have to think moneyball with the Isak money. RW is sorted, now we need to upgrade central defence. I would also want a Joelinton replacement.

The comment about prices going up is a reflection of how we’ve misjudged the market. We were ahead of the market with Livramento, Hall and Tonali. Some said they were overpays but they’re well below market value now. This summer we’ve misjudged the market. &nbsp There’s still a month left.

Burnley have chosen to sell Trafford to City because they're getting more money for him. Get a Saudi club to bid for Isak and send him there.

Send him to Al Hilal.

Players don’t owe clubs anything. Likewise, clubs don’t owe players anything. Isak was excellent for us. He was clutch, played through injuries and will now fetch a very high fee. Time to look forward.

Miley needs 40 games to see if he's good enough.

RW is sorted. If we get a CB, that's the transfer window done for me.

I don’t think this is good news. It means that whatever plans Mitchell has made, Howe wasn’t impressed. So what then? Do we start trying to sign a new set of players from today?

We choked it, but thank god for Man Utd.

Someone update the permutations. If Villa draw, we just need a draw, right?

Guehi for £35m Sell Willock for £25m Ramsey for £40m Sell Barnes for £40m We would get a new CB and Joelinton’s replacement for two bench players. The extra money would go towards a GK and a RW. If Longstaff leaves then we’ll need another CM, hopefully someone young so Miley still gets his minutes.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. I see us keeping him for one more year, maybe Barca will have money by then after they’ve moved back to the Camp Nou. We really need a good summer to become competitive for the league, then there’s no reason for him to leave.
