I refuse to watch any highlights of players we've not signed yet.

What a sissy!

Then you read the journalist 

Bailey's been pretty decent. 

Had all the Ekitike info very early on when it was going awry and was spot on about what was going on with his agent etc.

Neres looks canny for Benfica.

 

 

 

Signed for a pittance from Shakhtar due to the issues over there.

Tete at Lyon look is on loan but looks like he will be nicked for a pittance too.

Both right sided left footers with lots of pace and skill.

That Neres gave us serious issues in the friendly game.

My God! Where is this Bolton keeper from. What on Earth was that?!

No VAR in this yeah? Ings was offside man.

Villa are winning but I can't believe the level of performance considering who is playing.

Not sure we have the finances to go out and get a lead number 9 now tbh. When the likes of Pedro are going for 30 then a proven player is likely to cost double.

In my opinion this guy is looking like a lead striker that is ready to go. Don't really see him as a backup guy anymore, I think he's too good. Hard to believe he's 21 years old really. He plays like a senior experienced striker, and he's available for £30 million.

My God. What a bizarre rumour this is.

Frank has been playing that 3-4-2-1 though.

Maybe he stumbled on clips of Miggy on the left of that setup under Rafa, where he looked terrific.

It was tongue in cheek. As in if the deal was agreed as per Fab he'd have absolutely been pictured arriving at the stadium/training ground for a medical by now.

I know man. Was just messing around

Seems a huge strategic error to be banking on Wilson to stay fit for most of the season. I can’t believe our board and Ashworth are that naive.

You lot keep assuming they are viewing Chris Wood as a complete dead weight like we are. They're not.

Just now, PlymouthGeordie said:

Bit odd he's not on his way up for the medical given everything was agreed 24 hours ago...

Keep those sheets clean man. Don't do it ...

Richarlison is the wrong Brazilian to compare him to for me,

he's more Firmino style. 

Looks far more dynamic than Firmino.

Hoping he develops into more of a Gabriel Jesus type if we sign him.

Going to be pretty difficult to change transfer strategy now. If we decided not to break the bank on a main striker now, I think we’ll just have to live with that. 

I'm fine with whatever approach really.

I imagine a ton of work has gone into a bunch of players for now and the future, and so they may well explore some of the more first team ready options to see what's possible if Wilson's injury is bad.

That would have been really naive on their part if they thought he was suddenly going to have a problem free season considering his fitness record since he's been here. In which case this hamstring tweak could be a blessing in disguise.

Well ... they were still going to bring in a quality youngster as cover to go with Wood, who despite what we all think, I doubt the manager has completely written off.

However if the scan comes back as being a long term injury like Shelvey's and not just a week's rest or something, then it may well be wiser to go and get a lead number 9 instead. 

Apparently there was a lot of discussion on if to bring in a lead number 9 this summer ahead of Wilson, but due to how strongly he ended the season, they opted to go for a young backup.

If he is injured badly, it might cause them to reverse that decision now. In which case they perhaps opt out of the Pedro deal to go and get an immediate starting striker instead.

Possible reason the Pedro deal is on hold for now?

Um ... guys we need to prepare ourselves for the eventuality that Pedro isn't going to come in and be backup striker right away ahead of Wood.

I know this is what we all want and envisage but I don't think the manager will see things that way.

Hopefully the kid comes in and blows everyone away and can make that role his, but yeah ... don't expect it right away, unless there's likely to be even more soiled sheets due to bed wetting 

Maxi Gomez is available for 12 million Euros. Mitrovic style striker. Would suit the more direct style in the Prem. Scored a decent amount in Spain when playing for Celta Vigo as they were more direct with crosses into the box. Hasn't quite been the same type of service for him at Valencia.

Linked last December, and been mentioned again more recently.

Solid to potentially really good low cost option that should still allow us to do our other business if Callum Wilson is injured.

The fuck is this man 

So unbelievably cringe worthy man.

The absolute state of Stormzy man

Maguire. Maguire struggled with tracking runs. 

I hear you. Would have still looked to test you lot in that same manner again. Firmino was pointless.

He played well but think the jury is still out as he won't be playing against a player as tepid as Firmino was tonight every week

Seeing how much Man Utd struggled tracking runs in behind the first two games, I cannot believe Klopp has played Firmino upfront to start.

Absolutely incredible Liverpool being below Manchester United after such a terrible start from Man U.

The Premier League is so good man. Just unbeatable.

They're beating Liverpool, and at a time when they absolutely need to...and the crowd is utterly silent. 

They're pooping their pants.

Said for years now that they somehow need to stamp that out. No idea how you would though, it's just cuntish on both sides. As if Salah thinks it's going to make them kick off quicker 

Should be a yellow if you grab the ball and hold it. It's just idiotic.

Fernandes is such a creep man.

Hope they add 10 mins on.

Why the ref doesn't retrieve the ball after goals I'll never know.
