Overpaid by about 10 mill Id say. 19 goals last season and 28 years old. That extra 10 mill is worth it if its the difference between 8th and 5th in the table.

Jackson?

Sell Osula for 30mill and buy Watkins for 70 mill?

Its still the third highest transfer fee in the history of football.

Openda is going to Juventus. Kolo Muani to us?

We got this. Another secret deal like Woldermessi ready to be confirmed in the next 2 hours.

Lets see.

Isak obviously doesn't care about his reputation or integrity. No normal person would be ok with treating colleagues, bosses and fans the way he has, after how well he was looked after and appreciated. I don't expect other players in the squad to do the same. If anything, this will be a deterrent.

Isak was outstanding for 50% of last season and below average for 50% of last season. Yes, on his day he was unbelievably good, but it wasn't consistent. He also was out of puff after 60 minutes and didnt have the best injury record. As long as we get another striker in today (Wissa, JSL, Kolo Muani, Jackson, Watkins, Sorloth). Then I am ok with this.

They aren’t perfect but fuck me, we have gone from a yo-yo bottom premier league club to a top 6 disruptor. Yes mainly thanks to Eddie. But it isn’t all bad. Don’t forget where we were.

Yeh Eddie and some of the players absolutely didn’t want him back. The culture and environment staying healthy is worth more than 20 mill pounds (in football finance).

I don’t think they had a choice. Eddie and the players didn’t want Isak back and we needed the money to buy a replacement. Liverpool being the only bidder didn’t help drive the price up.

So it’s Jackson, JSL, Kolo Muani or Wissa. I’d take any of then right now

I think Watkins is on the decline. Jackson with Wokdermade is pretty good imo. Both young and offer different strengths in attack.

Could we loan him for 30 mill with an an obligation to buy for 110 mill next season

Yeh keeping Guehi was worth it for the FA Cup glory. That is priceless.

I think Willock, Murphy, Trippier and Barnes will have to be the next to move on. January or end of season. Replace them with some genuine quality.

What amount is acceptable. I think 135 million, although a bit short, it at least rids us of this mess. Get him out of the club.

Elanga has been awful off the bench.

Bring on Hall, Barnes and Elanga. Go back to 4-3-3. Botman, Murphy, Trippier off.

Could be Ramsey LW and Miley CM.

Barnes dropped or injured?

Pope Trippier Schar Burn Livramento Bruno Tonali Ramsey Elanga Osula Barnes Bench: Ramsdale, Hall, Botman, Thiaw, Miley, Willock, Murphy, Krafth, Neave

The Kelly and Longstaff fees will be in this PSR year. So around 30 mill of pure PSR profit.

I want a young Bruno like player. Technically gifted, work horse
