A club signing 2 x 100m+ players in a transfer window is obscene. The precedent is now set.

I suspect American ownership will be pretty much universal for all PL clubs in a few years. Perhaps this will be the first step for us on the journey to become one of the vassel entities for US franchise soccer

Bet his wife and kids were fucking delighted he was gone for so long over the summer

Just struggling to see how 50+ million on a temporary fix is the answe

My heart fucking bleeds Luke, you silly cunt.

Good.

For the prices mentioned, they'd cost just a few million less than we paid for our club record signing. Not ideal from the perspective of just wanting to alleviate pressure

Good summary Encapsulates why football is absolutely finished

Not even Wissa or JSL are sweetening this pill for me like.

Really struggling to get perspective here - so prefacing this comment by saying the Isak news is pretty fucking raw.... But with the benefit of hindsight, the only instance I have as a reference point for taking a perennially underachieving club to the very top in my lifetime is Man City. And I'm sat here now and asking myself...would City's owners have done the same (with all circumstances being equal) as we've now done back then?

They've paid just 8 million more than they paid for an attacking midfielder from the Bundesliga with not half the pedigree

Unfortunately the game at which this cunt would have been made to be accountable for his actions has also just happened. Convenient.

He's frankly the only person keeping me connected with the game at this point

If we had a functioning transfer department, I'd have been interested to see whether interest could have been drummed up from the likes of Bayern and PSG.

All the best big guy

Aye, with a fair offer and representative of the player's value. Not stringing something out all summer and playing a soap opera out in public through client social media 'influencers'. Give me the Eze to Arsenal situation any day of the fucking week over this complete and utter farce which has affected the club from top to bottom. The other aforementioned club has just tanked last year's Champions League quarter finalists 3-0 at home.

Irrespective of all else, it's completely and utterly obscene that a football club can spend half a billion fucking pounds in one transfer window

Bullied by the cartel and their media clients isn't a good look.

Ah man.

I can't believe that any sentiment other than this is being expressed by PIF. The alternative is as close to batshit mental and self-destructive as it comes

Wankstein too. And TalkShite

Pretty fucking convenient these cunts are coming out in force on deadline day to peddle the LFC narrative
