We getting close to our budget? We still need a striker (probs Wissa). Surely any further signings (additional striker etc.) are predicated on selling Isak.

I hope we were respectful, that’s all I want from any transfer.

It’s churlish to criticise this signing. This is exactly the sort of depth we have been crying out for. He’s still young, Howe can improve him. Buying in the dip?

Just sign some fucking players man.

You’d hope so but I’ve always thought we’d fold at 120m. Hope I’m wrong.

Relegation release clause? Leicester were relegated three months ago. Nowt says afterthought like trying (he was linked to Arsenal recently so our ‘interest’ will flush out other suitors) to activate a relegation release clause 4 days before the start of the next season.

Liverpool been watching the England women’s team?

Palace been on top in the second half. Liverpool’s expensive midfield being dominated by…. [checks notes] Will Hughes.

Annoyingly Liverpool look like they’ll be very strong this season. We can definitely get at those full backs though.

The best solution for us is him going abroad for a hefty fee. Let’s keep him training on his own and excluded from the players who actually want to play for us until that happens.

There’s always the chance of redemption but at the moment he’s looking like the worst signing we’ve made under PIF. Kelly being sold for a hefty fee after joining on a free puts him clear IMO.

Amazing how much more comfortable he is in the ball these days.

Ambitious….

I don’t think he’s going to make it. Maybe he does need a loan to the Championship but I’ve not seen anything from him yet. He’s certainly not a RW in my opinion.

Hard to judge how effective Osula could be this season as he’s never on the ball. Seen him have cameos in a few games and I’m still non the wiser about him.

Burn auditioning for the vacant No9 shirt.

Hoijland makes Jackson look like George Weah.

There’ll be some sort of compromise but no way are Liverpool paying 150m and we’ll probably fold around 120-130m IMO.

Fucking hell I’d just about reluctantly convinced myself that Jackson wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen and now I find that Bayern and Spurs are on the scene. Not only are the ESL6 cunts taking it in turns to tag team us they’ve got their European oppos to join in too….,

Liverpool have played us like a fiddle here, all set up for us to accept 120m in the next couple of weeks. The cunt is on strike and no use to us. Will take him an age to get match fit even if we play hard ball. Utter shit show from our now vacant leadership team and PIF.

We’ve done absolutely zero to address squad depth. I know we wanted some of the peripheral/older players to go but we wanted them replaced…. what’s going on? Season starts in a week!!!

He hasn’t failed though, not really. He’s a fairly young and inexperienced striker who ended up leading the line in a billion pound team. Not suggesting we should buy him but I think he’s young enough to improve significantly.

I’m sure Howe would improve Jackson, all those taking the piss wouldn’t be laughing if he out scored Gykores, Ekitike and Šeško. Could we bring Ramos in too?

Even if he was told to stay. No way this cunt would be ready/match fit until half a dozen games in. He’s totally fucked us.

Who is also now twice as expensive.
