This game is a catastrophe.

Agree, if I made odds for his next club Liverpool would be pretty far down the list. I don’t think they’d be Isak’s first choice either if some other names were interested.

If we lose Wissa to Spurs I'm going to turn to the dark side.

76 players bought by English clubs (the sly 6) for more than Isak? Is that right?

There will be a ton happening. I'm quite sure the current state isn't the Howe's + Nickson looking through notes from 2 years ago and phoning Craig Hope every time they mention someone while Suds tries in vain to get someone to give him the wifi password.

Unfortunately that turn and pass just added £5m.

His solid (not great) games are also overlooked because it’s just expected, so it goes both ways. He does a lot for us even on a bad day and the baseline version of him would be very difficult to replace.

You’re not the first. Certainly off his best, though he still ran more than anyone.

xG 1.47 to 0.13 16 shots to 3 (only 3 of ours on target) 59% possession 6 to 3 corners away from home without a striker and our LB (who I think would have helped today) against the club that's been closest to us and has embarrassed us twice at their place in the last three years. Probably better than we played in the first 2-3 months last season.

That’s exactly what I said.

He’s continuing to leave the door open for bringing Isak back in and distancing himself publicly from any of the decision making. It’s the surest sign that there’s a good chance we’re not selling him.

First CB on the PL era all time NUFC team? The man is outrageous.

I’m shocked that your family group chat is filled with negativity.

We should have scored and there was some sloppiness, but a big positive we outplayed them at Villa Park with everything going on. And we all would have taken a point before kickoff.

Barnes has been waiting all day for that opportunity.

Such a dumb yellow card

Elanga is going to have plenty of frustrating moments. He’s also going to cause mayhem over and over again. The latter should outweigh the former.

Gordon and Elanga are going to give them hell. Siege mentality begins now.

I'd prefer to keep an unhappy and on strike Isak. That obviously can't be the outcome.

Best news of the summer. Thank god.

What you’re referring to is mid table clubs buying too 6 castoffs when they are past it. That is quite obviously not what we’ve been doing since the takeover nor what the comment you replied to was saying.

It’s not ideal but an every other year event can’t really be a dealbreaker.

You could easily spin that as one lost season and two pretty normal absences. Harvey Barnes history: 20/21 - 123 days 21/22 - 32 days 22/23 - 29 days 23/24 - 150 days 24/25 - 34 days

"Just sign good players" Well not the ones we've been linked to "Just sign good players we haven't heard about yet" Well not ones the cartel want. That's dumb. "Just sign good players we haven't heard about yet that aren't linked to the big 6" I don't know why we keep shopping in an expensive market with a small budget "Just sign good players we haven't heard about yet that aren't linked to the big 6 and won't cost a fortune. What happened to our £25-40m sweet spot?" Well that won't work. He's future project and isn't a replica of the unicorn that is Joelinton

I think we have enough games where he'll see time. That's before the inevitable injuries strike.
