I hate these jammy pricks more than anyone

Game over

Can't stand to hear the scouse freaks saying Isackkkcckk and Eckkckckkiteeeeekckckkckkkeeeee

Liverpool by proxy all hatred is acceptable

Genuinely starting to feel like a concerted effort to hamper us, an unspoken rule between clubs not pushing the limits of PSR and those that don't have to abide to PSR

JSL, Wissa or Jackson, I don't care now and I don't care what price, that's not my problem, just get a striker in that can score and lets put this sorry summer behind us

New contract, bumper pay rise, transfer clause of £130m abroad, £200m domestically and an agreement that when it happens his agent doesn't get a bean.

I hope we smash them tonight and he's sat at home watching and regretting his decisions, crying into his LFC mug

The ambivalence of excitement and trepidation, I'm not confident of a win but I hope we give them a game at least, a hell pit of noise and disdain from the crowd and intensity and aggression on and off the ball, don't give them an inch, don't let them settle. Hit them fast, hit them hard, send their wingbacks home crying and all 10 outfielders bruised and battle scarred. We've got to let them know they're in a game and we won't make anything easy for them. I have zero doubt Howe will have us fired up for this, there's no shortage of rage bait available to fuel the fires. I just hope someone, anyone, has their shooting boots on tonight because it's got to come from somewhere! An ingenuitive set piece might be our way in.

Too much emotion being put into people's responses to this, understandably so as fans, but the club won't think that way, they'll only be bothered about how to get the maximum out of a bad situation and if that requires a contract renegotiation then so be it.

It's the increased length that covers the cost of the contract by thinning out the amortisation

I hope they do come in with another bid and instead of knocking it straight back we mess them around for the week and make out like we're gonna fold only to back out on Sept 1st and leave them with no options

Honestly one of the worst matches I've ever had to endure but Burnley are winning so I'm not turning it off

I wonder who our annihilation will be this season, hope its the Mackems, at least 5 goals

Ouattara scored, so yes hopefully that helps us out.

1-1 with us getting the equaliser in the dying embers of the game by sheer willing the ball into the net

Not possible, the double reflective domes would blind anyone in a 2 mile radius

I agree it would galvanise us further but any dirty trick they can muster.

I wouldn't put it past the dippers to try our hand on Monday for maximum damage, they know they won't get him but they'll table a bid Monday morning for circa £130m to try and unsettle us as much as possible before the game.

Keep your faux praise you slap-headed nonce.

We've got an abundance of RB options to allow us to move Tino over to the left, Tripps has played left plenty of times in a pinch and we even have BDB if the worst comes to the worst. Its not a dire need for this window.

We should have really stipulated it was "match highest wage at NUFC" that Ronaldo contract really killed our PSR.

This is why I think a new contract is so important, as much as Isak doesn't "deserve" anything for his actions, it is absolutely in everyone's best interest that the whole thing is renegotiated.

Was about to put something similar myself, we have absolutely got some game changers when you think about those games last season that went stale and we had nothing but dross to bring on.
