The Prophet

I'm critical because: 1) they sold to a league rival, which is completely incongruent to their stated aims. 2) they sold below their stated value. Even Brentford and Wolves have shown more backbone than that. 3) we've sold him before a second striker is through the door. We're going into the final day of the market with £130 million in our pocket and a decent liklihood we're going into the season with one, unproven striker up top.

We've vindicated their behaviour, giving them exactly what they wanted. It's at best spineless. No replacement and it's total negligence.

Hope Krath gives him a lovely reducer in training next week.

Is that "very lucky" or good scouting though?

Why aren't Brentford selling us Wissa for £40 million? That's how it's done apparently.

That's not really his fault like. If all had gone to plan he'd still be working with Ashworth.

Unless we've done most of the legwork already of course.

I think it's always been pretty large and rightfully so.

"Amanda" didn't scout and select targets. That department has largely remained unchanged thankfully.

To be fair, I'd imagine he wanted Isak gone.

Being the good little cucks we are, I do hope we offered them a generous discount on Sandro next summer too.

Speaking of the next three years of PSR. don't thr e new squad cost rules come in in July?

Nah.

If they get Guehi, it'll take Liverpool's summer spend to a cool half a billion? Must be a nice ceiling to have.

On the upside, it rounds off a disastrous few weeks for Luke Edwards.

Not sell to a PL rival at a large discount without another striker in the door?

Fingers crossed we have something lined up. Our season hinges on it.

Do clubs seeking to be "number one" let a player and a rival club absolutely take the piss out of them for weeks on end, before eventually capitulating and giving them exactly what they want on favourable terms? Asking for a friend.

Absolutely pathetic stuff.

Well there it is, the messsge is clear, we're only here to service the cartel. What spineless set of cunts.

...the raised eyebrows are coming from the suggestion that we'll sell, even without a second striker coming in.

I'm sorry like, anyone who can't see that this is a club briefing is in denial. Whether there's ab ulterior motive behind it remains to be seen.

Hope now reporting: "Newcastle would like a package in the region of £130m, but it could be that such a figure is only achieved with add-ons."
