Oh I'm sure. I also wouldn't be surprised at all if some club out there is using it to advice on how to proceed with transfer negotiations.

We should let ChatGPT negotiate the deals and all.

He'll be going straight in as the number 1 striker too, in a team with title ambitions. No pressure As talented as he is, I'm not sure he has the temperament to deal with the responsibility. Will be really interesting. The hilarity if the guy flops there man

“My wish was for us to do our business early and we certainly tried but it wasn’t to be. We’ve had a frustrating time in terms of losing targets to other clubs. I’ve been very open about that, it’s happened on a couple of occasions but you just have to accept it. For a transfer to really work, in my opinion, the player has to be desperate to come to your club and if you don’t get that the transfer doesn’t work." “We’re seeking players who are good enough and are desperate to come and will make a difference. They’re in short supply for us but we’re confident that we can get some more players in to strengthen the depth of the squad. We certainly need to.”

You think? We're yet to sell Isak, Gordon and Tino man. That's when the real fun starts!

The worst thing about all of this is the Liverpool fans that will be on here reading this stuff. They'll be absolutely giddy with this reaction, which will further feed their delusions and encourage even more relentless posting about how his head's gone.

I think Liverpool don't want to pay as much as they're asking for him. Don't think anyone wants to really. It's a huge fee. Now Liverpool came in for Isak and put it out there that they'd be willing to pay £120 million, Frankfurt are going to be even tougher to negotiate with to bring that Ekitike fee down.

In reality there is no going fast with cartel targets. The players agents will have an idea of the cartel teams that are interested, and as soon as we come in for the player, they then leak the info to try and get those other clubs to come in too, so they can get more competition and leverage that for more money.

Yes, we've been actively pursuing numerous players and clearly have money to spend. Outside of the main clubs in the Prem it's been mostly quiet still for the most part, as things really haven't got moving yet.

No.

Another day another set of repetitive posts from the day before about how we aren't going to get the signings we need in. So fun.

Never Liverpool. Vini Jr. to Saudi for £300 million. Isak to Real for £200 million.

24 months.

Well this is what the manager believes is necessary in order to take the next step forward. And so the only way to resolve that if it is deemed to be an issue, is to get rid of Eddie Howe. And so are you prepared for us to do that?

We were linked with Kalimuendo this summer. He's actually quite comparable to Wissa, and so I imagine he's on the list. Prem experience is taking priority first though.

Wissa at 28, Isak at 25 and Osula at 22 is a nice mix. I think the main thing with Wissa is that the salary won't be massive, and we will be keeping a close eye on wages, especially if we'll be looking to give Isak a new deal. The Wissa deal cannot surpass £40 million at the absolute max though, so will depend on whether we can negotiate with them.

He wasn't playing upfront when Toney was there.

Currently on £25,000 a week at Brentford too, which likely contributes massively to why this is seen as an attractive option.

Wissa was absurdly good last year.

If Trafford is really this keen, all he'll have to do is reject the Man City approach then. If not though, then he can go back to Man City.

The last two guys in charge of all that left abruptly. Also, this idea we are slower at transfers than everyone else is a complete myth.

And yet! Despite all the chaos, the progress has been pretty extraordinary right?! The club was an absolute shit show under Mike Ashley, and so getting it right was never going to be without some issues here and there. Honestly, it could be so much worse than this. I think Eddie may need to have gone through what he has so far this summer, to be a tad more open minded going forward, when it comes to the DOF coming in, and also perhaps the kind of players we look at. All part of the process. Lets let it marinate.

I'll be right there with you brother! I'll be astounded if we end up short come the end of the window.
