I bet spurs sign that Alikouche guy now aswell. Felt it since the start of the summer but we are in massive danger of slipping really far into the pack this year. On paper Spurs and Man U should be finishing ahead of us. Forrest wouldn't surprise me now either.

Reading between the lines but he comes across super arrogant that they will get him if they want to.

Would give anything to have Mateta over some of the other names being banded around.

That bit about the breakdown in relationship between us and Burnley doesn't seem to add up when we eventually agreed a fee and then sold them Dubravka for pennies a few weeks later.

I mean the excitement people have of keeping him and adding one more meaning were in for an exciting season. I think there is still a strong chance he doesn't ay at all or doesn't play til atleast October and when he finally does I think he will phone it in.

We need to let go of those sort of thoughts. Even if Isak plays again, just cannot forsee him every hitting the form of mid season last year for us. It would be the Isak from the start and end of the season.

There was no point haggling over whatever extra we want for Isak if we are going to end up being forced into wasting any of the profits from a sale on average players. I know we're desperate and the majority of the situation may not be the club's fault. But I just can't see how dropping £60m+ on a Strand-Larsen or Wissa is the answer. There has to be an alternative option?

Looks bang average to me. Yes he scored a few decent goals, especially the headers. But his touch and reactions look way to slow for the way we play. He reminds of Chris Wood when he was here. Just don't think it would be a good fit. If it was £30m then no issue but I think it's super lazy scouting if he's the best we can find that's left over for £60m. At this point in our desperation we have to take a chance on someone without the prem experience. Spending £60m on this guy would make digging our heels in for the remaining £40m we want from Liverpool completely pointless.

Just take a punt on 3-4 cheap unknowns instead and swap them around until one of them hits form

Oh and just to add....it never sat right with me that his guy was in amongst the celebrations and on the open top bus parade. He contributed fuck all to our cup win and had only been here 5 minutes so I always disliked him sharing in our triumph even back then.

Fat slug.

As much as I appreciate the club not giving in and selling cheap like some of us feared. We also never expected Isak to go this nuclear with his actions. We are still in an awful position if he stays and refuses to play. They need to forget about him for now and find someone, even if just a stop gap til January before the deadline. Villa was a wake up call for anyone that wasn't already convinced that Gordon can't be our 9.

Love how his profile pic seems to be that cringe pouting James bond impression where he clearly thinks he looks great Guy clearly loves himself quite a lot as can be seen by his selfie stick videos

Isak kind of forced the clubs hand to be fair. Once you are accused of so ething they needed to be firm and deny such an allegation if false. Doesn't address the broken contract promise I suppose. But then if they have subsequently been offering him a new contract this summer then they can say they have fulfilled that promise also.

It's also the hoovering of talent by the rich protected cartel clubs. Watching Match of the day hit home. There was City after spending fortunes in January then buying £250m more of talent and so far not selling a yone for big money, just breezing through Wolves at will who of course were forced to sell their best player in the summer. There are gonna be so many dull games because of this where the top 4 clubs just smash most of the bottom half teams with ease. Never understood why sky seem to drool at the prospect of this and try to get the best players to the top clubs. It's so much better for the "product" if the best players are spread amongst all the teams not just 4.

As much as I want a bloodbath. I'd also like our season not to get derailed anymore than it already has by the cunt and his cunty mates. I want aggression but controlled aggression. Use the crowd to our advantage so our players have extra energy in the tank and just press the living fuck out of them and smash into tackles but don't lose our heads and get any silly reds. Ref and var will already have their agenda set out before the game so don't give them an excuse for an early red. Liverpool were gassed in their match Vs Bournemouth. It was only the fact they had 5 subs available that allowed them to get the win.

He has brought shame to the great Alex name.

Lascelles has got a mean attacking header on him. Hoy him up top.

Would be able to enjoy his self sabotage more if we had a fucking striker replacement. But unfortunately there is no winner in any of this. Both end up losing, club and player. Does make me see things last season differently now though. Remember at the peak of the Arsenal media hype around Isak. It was when we played the first leg of the cup semi and he seemed to really up his game almost as a "come get me" plea.

So he can only be talking about Eddie Howe here? Because no one else has spoken publicly about this have they? Trust Howe more than I'd ever trust Isak. Especially as he has been polite and not thrown Isak under the bus when he had every right too. The promise can only be a new contract. It can't be we promised to let him join Liverpool this summer. No one at the club would have been stupid enough to promise that surely.

So if they sign him Liverpool will have 6 of the PFA team of the year from last year. Fuck off.

Games was honking but probably the best player on the pitch. Never lost the ball once but every time he gave it to a team mate they lost it or passed backwards. It's gonna be a real noticeable drop for him from the quality of his old teammates. He's probably sitting on the bus now thinking....

I'm just about ready to start worrying now We really need a striker. I mean we need two but we really really need atleast one. Was confident Wissa was coming but now even that looks in doubt.

Been said a million times but I'll repeat it. It only applies to related party transactions.

Either Bruno, Joelinton or Schar are getting sent off in this I feel.
