At this point give Man City the 80m Šeško money + Isak for Haaland.

We keep talking about Liverpool Man U and Chelsea but Man City also buggered us in January with buying Khusanov and Juma Bah from under our noses. That would have sorted RCB but also given Mitchell a small win which could have built momentum. it’s honestly been a nightmare two years from recruitment. we will struggle to make top ten this year.

Nickson’s halo and the goodwill from Tonali Bruno Isak et al has slipped majorly major redemption required

Samu, Ramos and Wissa one or two of the above is a good shortlist. Think we’ll have to be active until deadline day at this rate. Mitchell was 90% responsible for recruitment. What the hell was he playing at. It should have been mandatory that he saw through the most important time of the season, before leaving. It’s like a retail worker quitting during Xmas season, you actually are not allowed for the most part, in some places you can’t even take holidays during that period

Another option - Alvarez is coming this weekend with Atletico. Let’s get Lautaro Martinez or Marcus Thuram from Inter. Ivan Toney on loan. Guirhassy. CR7 on loan. Theres still plenty of decent CFs out there.

Wissa has become mandatory. I’d like to get Randal Muani initially on loan to give us the necessary cover. Whilst retaining Isak. Ramos is another good option. All is not lost. Ramos Isak Wissa Ramos Muani Isak Muani Isak Wissa

We were one good window away (this summer) from challenging for the title. now we’re three to five seasons away all of a sudden

Just get numbers in at this point. Scalvini and Thiaw Paqueta and Gallagher Wissa and Ramos Literally we probably need this level of window to be competitive and to be able to handle CL. 5-6 more players on top of Elanga and Ramsdale

Even if we wanted to now go crazy and spend 250m in the next three weeks… who the hell is available for us to get? M absolutely pointless. Top ten may be a struggle this season tbh

Had we known at the end of the season I feel we would have gone all in on Jonathon David

From Saudi Pro League Neves* Kessie Savic Toney* Mitrovic Marcus Leonardo* Ibanez Simikan* Lodi get 3 or 4 of them in on loan. Screw the cartel.

I was more in on Sesko than Ekitike, felt his ceiling esp in PL is higher Not convinced by Ekitike still, not seen enough yet and he's not done enough either Sesko is a genuine wonderkid, even Pedro is not same tier

He's a LW isn't he?

Osimhen. Hijack Galatasaray Something about food chain and all that jazz

Wissa will go to Spurs with the Frank connection

If he's good enough for Ancelotti...

Tyre kickers

Liverpool think they are this super efficient well run club and therefore will box clever. Why bid against themselves etc etc. Guarantee they don't offer more than 125m max. A gentleman's agreement or even a release clause for next summer at 150m is actually a very fair agreement - he'll still only be 26, coming into his prime. Shearer was 26 when we signed him. Isak, Sesko but would still like to see Wissa this window for future planning. Would be great options for a CL season. Osula could go out on loan late on - and be ready for when Isak leaves next summer.

Would have been a downgrade on Longstaff in any case

Maybe a loan to us with obligation to buy at a higher price than 40m next summer would be good. It gives us cover, gets his 'Lewis Hall first season' out of the way with us and allows us to future plan, get Murphy sold next summer even.

I present you Mr Michael Owen Esquire

Would sign both Rudoni and Clark need the bodies for the middle of the park would Have preferred one more established one eg Paqueta or Gallagher or Ederson but would take anyone right jow

Ekitike rejected us three times to be fair

Was Hislop really that bad? He was most expensive GK in the PL for a while?

45m Guehi plus 25m Thiaw. 70M and sorts out the back fully and refreshes the defence. Can get rid of Lascelles. Guehi, Schar, Thiaw, Botman, Burn Very strong set of CB's With Sesko/Ramos/Samu and Wissa - sorts the front line out 100m for those two. Then need to do midfield. Needs another 2 to flesh out the squad. Perhaps Paqueta at 35m and Dibling at 35m would work also. 70m. 240m spent Get rid of Isak for 140m+ Net spend of £100m And we'd be much stronger to be honest, as a squad.
