Oh no, don’t get me wrong, I’m super happy with our business so far. It’s not often you get a window where every transfer is an absolute home-run, and it seems like we’ve managed that. It’s terribly entitled but I really want us to round out these last few hours with at a least a decent loan. Step by step I know, but our bench options are shocking currently.

Feel like such a brat but I’ll be pretty deflated if we don’t get either an RW or CM before the window closes.

desperate for any kind of news that I’m latching onto “Gob on the Tyne”. Fml.

Would be an insane signing imo. Has this thread ever really pre-exposed any real transfers though ?

“Big” teams must be waiting for him to run his contract down. Would be a shame if we didn’t at least try to get him in.

More suited to dm than Luiz. Tidy signing.

Psst. A journo wrote that article as well.

Yeah, yeah, I know .

Why hire scouts when you can just see who we’ve underbid for and get in there

Tie lemons must be off somewhere as teams are seemingly going out of their way to sign other (inferior) midfielders. Hmmm.

You could legitimately play Burn up front and get a similar, if not better, outcome than this version of Wood. Over the course of a season you’d get a similar goal return too, I’m convinced of it.

Once the seething ceases, in the cold light of day we can look at the positives from this performance. Right now though I feel we were thoroughly fucked over by the “magic of Anfield” and, accordingly, some “comical” officiating.

Allison had the ball at 7 mins. You blow there Mariner you downs Clooney-looking bitch. Absolute joke end to a very spirited performance. Seriously, the standard of officiating in this country is already so low and this chuckle-fuck decides to bring a shovel in to work today. Gtfo out of here. Fuming.

Absolute fucking bullshit. Pope down for 30 seconds, add 3 minutes. Burn it all down, at 7 mins the ref wasn’t even interested in looking at his watch. Corrupt as shit.

Don’t blow until they score. FUCK OFF. Corrupt bullshit.

Lascelles casually losing his runner here. We’re not too bad so far tbf.

Longstaff doesn’t get into any Pl first xi.

Happy to see other fans on board now that he’s likely not coming here. The guy is about to have a breakout season and a lot of huge clubs will be in for him. Really good young player.

He has his strengths but his overall positioning and ability on the ball is absolutely terrible. Besides winning aerial duels he’s often a complete liability on the pitch.

Like Isak’s inclusion (obviously). Lascelles against quality opposition is proper : He’s good for a headed corner though at least.

Still slightly annoyed about this. While I don’t rate Dubravka as highly as others do, my heart doesn’t sink when he’s starting like it does for Darlow. Actively pushing for a move effectively gave us no option here, which is disappointing behavior on his part. One consolation is it could free up wages for a big-ticket transfer or loan. Here’s hoping!

@cubaricho If we’re doing this, I could also name more players that went in to CL teams instead.

There’s no way we get him, unfortunately. He’ll more than likely end up at a CL club.

Just lacking all over really. Gonna be a tough watch.

On paper that xi seriously lacks attacking quality.
