Based on what?

Positive vibes though around the breakfast table.

Wolves Uche transfer getting hijacked by Palace, so presumably they’ll need to find a striker, midfielder, and defender in the next few days.

I feel like Chelsea would only sell us Andrey Santos with a load of buyback and sell-on clauses.

There does seem to be a flaw in trying to do most of our business in a league where they opposed our takeover, and then when it happened all got together to invent rules to prevent us being successful.

We haven’t even managed to get into a negotiation for either Larsen or Wissa. Bid once more and then give it the old MO.

If Isak is getting his wish granted then I want 2 strikers and a quality midfielder. Seems unlikely.

While that’s true, he’s unlikely to be a long term solution for us and there’s no PSR profit to be made here. Plus if we’re not selling Isak this is a hell of a lot of money. I’m not even opposed to signing him, he’s decent, I just think we’re going to spend the week preparing a club record bid that might not even get accepted, and even if it does might put us in a PSR hole.

He’s a mediocre footballer that can be dangerous in the box, so like Sorloth except he’ll cost at least twice as much and might not be available at all.

I don’t care about him changing his mind about leaving, I care about if he’s going to do his job. If not, give him the option of sitting out the next 3 years and see if he takes it.

I don’t think we concern ourselves with that question.

Liverpool have played all their cards outside of raising their bid, which they seem reluctant to do.

I can’t wait for deadline day, clubs will be forced to make decisions and we’ll get clarity. I’ve come to the conclusion that the window is far too long.

If we don’t get either Wissa or Larsen then we’ve wasted an extraordinary amount of time chasing players that were just not available. I can’t see reports of Brentford or Wolves going after strikers so it seems like that’s the case.

This just feels like Wissa all over again, just a more condensed version as we’ve only got a few days left.

I’m talking about experienced pros that can go straight into the team now.

It would be nice if we used our scouts to come up with a bargain. I was watching Munoz on Sunday, they bought him for £8m from Genk at 27 years old and he’d walk into most teams in the league. Why can’t we make signings like that?

I think if we had Sorloth in the team we would be on 6 points right now. Why fuck around trying to get players that aren’t available when there are options out there that are just as good? Obviously he isn’t a world beater or a long term answer to the Isak problem, but he could get us CL. You would say the same for Larsen and Wissa.

There isn’t a point really. Competition is being smothered in the premier league, but if you go around Europe it’s as bad or worse. Most leagues are like F1 at its worst, just a procession. It’s only going to get worse as well.

One of the dumbest things you’ll see this season.

Do we have a set piece coach?

Liverpool aggrieved that their fouls are being called. Babies.

Commentator is gasping for a soft yellow.

He’s calling Uche a striker, which he isn’t. He’s a midfielder with 4 career goals.

Our striker targets have all been star players at premier league clubs, Ekitike who we’ve been after for 14 years, and Sesko who everyone wanted because he’s been hyped beyond belief. I can’t get my head around what conversations have been taking place.
