He’s 6 months older than Wilson when he signed, Wilson came off the back of a season with 8 goals in 35 appearances (assuming ChatGPT isn’t lying) and cost £20m. With the insane transfer inflation in the last 5 years and Wissa scoring 2.5x the number of goals in an admittedly better team but one of similar profile to Bournemouth, I’m going to try and tell myself it’s not as much of an obscene overpay as I initially thought.

Absolutely, while the lack of new targets has been frustrating, the initial group was stellar, those we failed with and got, so I’m excited to see what comes next.

The fascinating thing is just about every player we have been linked with has either now signed or gone elsewhere, so the three year cycle of seemingly being linked to the same batch of players on loop should hopefully draw to a close and now broaden, if our scouts are actually doing some work in the background.

So I’m going to tell myself we paid £25m plus Osula for Wissa and I feel a LOT better about it

Romano done his here we go bollocks. Going to bed

Every journalist is paid based on interactions and views. Every journalist knows that this is the biggest and most watched story of a window going into its final day. They are all going to be out there making hay knowing that after tomorrow their numbers and monetisation will be significantly dropping. I’m not saying it won’t happen, but this idea that suddenly late on a Sunday night this info is all coming out, as opposed to it just being a jockeying for position and clicks, I’m still not sure. May be head in sand, but just cannot believe we would sell with no replacement.

This is the tweet underneath. Looking at his account it’s just another Indy Kaila type just retweeting himself (and Indy Kaila). Is he anything other than another bullshit merchant?

Milner equalises, does Jota celebration, commentator laughs and says ‘he’s doing the Haaland celebration’. Where the fuck do they get these people

I think it’s ‘Isak’s a cunt ole ole’ but may be wrong

Bring on Zirkzee and leave Sesko on bench

That is not a fucking penalty.

Hopefully a hefty sell on clause if it’s a low fee

My classic 90s shirt is adorned with Albert 27. So I’m happy with this.

Something like this gives us real fluidity - 4-3-3 standard, 3-5-2 away to some of the top end teams and then 4-2-3-1 when trying to break down a low block. Would be very hard to drill all of those in a season like this with so few gaps in fixtures though.

One of the only good things about this is that unless he hits the ground on absolute fire, it won't take long for the online scouse army to start to bitch and moan. He gets an early injury and Woltemade starts well and they'll be out in force with the whining. Fickle fuckers.

Jordan fucking Henderson, still. Joker.

If we sell for below £150m without signing Wissa / another striker, it's not the best look for the club, especially after the 'conditions of sale' statement we released.

We are on the first two pots, these are supposed to be the tough games! Still think there’s 3-7 points there for us

Proud of them today.

Really wish tonali would have a hit at times, when he isn’t on an obscene angle

So how is that not a fucking foul? Absolutely bent

Bayern will be looking to replace Kane, Barca will be looking to replace Lewandowski. Give him a couple of weeks to sort his shit out, tell him he can go abroad for in excess of £100m next summer if he scores 20+ this season and put it in writing. We get another season with a 20+ goalscorer, Bayern or Barca get a player below market value (although with only 2 years left on current deal) and Liverpool get fuck all. There's as many assumptions in this paragraph as there is in yours - the only thing any of us can actually do is just see how it plays out as all else is simply guesswork.

I can remember being in the Gallowgate the last time we beat these fuckers at SJP and singing 'Jose Enrique, we're in the top 6' as he replaced Reina in goal after he had kicked up to move for ambition purposes. To be fair to him, he had a lot better argument for it at that point in our history, but it was still a great moment of schadenfreude that would be eclipsed a few times over if we could get a result on Monday.
