That must’ve been the day before he told us he definitely wanted to leave.

I always check Anfield Watch at lunch, thanks for saving me a job.

No chance we can sell a big player this window. The optics alone would be appalling with the Isak thing going on.

BBC sport has been hilarious on this, same with Shearer. Reporting stuff as news that happened ages ago. I guess they're a bit more reluctant to just post random tweets as fact.

Doesn't really matter when he told us he wanted to leave, he has 3 years left on his contract. And Liverpool signed the fucking replacement

I honestly think Ekitike will be fine. He'll start for Liverpool all season and Isak won't get the move.

I feel like this gets simpler the worse he behaves TBH. We can't possibly let him get what he wants, we have to take the strictest possible line.

I don't think we're looking for a starting CM TBH, we're looking to improve the overall quality of the squad. If we sign El Khannouss as well then this signing really looks even better.

Can't believe people are mentioning Jordan Ibe still. Guess it's the only bad signing Howe has ever made so they need to get maximum mileage out of it

I don't think so, he can actually impact PL games. Fitness issues obvious apart.

Depends if he's really injury prone, has an ongoing issue or has just been unlucky.

Come on man lads. Willock and Longstaff were pap, we're looking at a situation where we won't be using either of them. Bringing a competent player off the bench instead of a stiff is going to be massive for us. Not to mention how much better our league cup etc teams will be.

Ideal is we get both Ramsay and El K and find someone to take Willock. Dreamland maybe, but at least the club seem to know what we need.

Nah it doesn't, it just means less money for him and his agent.

That's not bad

Ramsey was looking amazing at one point but it seemed like the emergence of Rogers took all the headlines recently. Haven't really been following how much he's been playing and how well. Would he be PSR profit for Villa, is that why he's for sale?

Ramsay and El K and we're looking at the best lineup of midfielders we've had for decades

Not sure this lad is ready to impact the PL mind, but if it's the odd appearance when we're winning it's going to be good for him. And training with Eddie is probably better than going on loan and getting kicked all over in the lower leagues.

He'll go to the WC but obviously he'd be completely out of form and fitness.

Very risky

We live in weird times that one tweet from a journalist is how this gets communicated. If it's even true at all. Either way, we can't sell him because he's sulking, especially not to Liverpool at a reduced price. So he's going to have to face the consequences of refusing to do his job.

I think Wilson ended up leaving because he’s finished as a PL striker.

I thought Chelsea had shown us that spending 100m on DMs was a bad idea.

No PL to PL loans at all IMO, or maybe just for under 21s if we're being generous. Clubs shouldn't be able to waste money or stockpile players and then get out of it by just loaning them.

Probably not, but by the end of the week yes (if he has a release clause).
