The Prophet

Just sit him and his agent down and explain we just want one more season. Enough time to find a replacement and we'll let him go to any non-PL club who puts down a reasonable amount next summer.

Whiffs of agent mischief this one.

It's exactly why we should wait.

I'd be down for just messing them around until the window closes. Fuck them.

So respectful, they deliberately unsettled him by leaking their interest without lodging a formal bid.

Dear Ricky, You can go ahead and suck my dick. Kind regards, Eddie

He has and they've paid top whack for Wirtz and Ekitike.

Absolutely.

The forum is in full spiralling mode.

I'm not sure I agree with the second part. I think it's more that we're a rudderless ship. It's absolutely essentially we establish a reputation for being difficult sellers though, if we sell it has to be on our terms and we have to be awkward about it.

He's left it so late in the window, he'd only have himself to blame tbf.

If we want to keep hold of our best players, we need to send a message that we're difficult negotiators. Same as every cunt seems to do to us.

We also take the piss a bit like they have, move the goal posts a few times, etc.

Sounds like they'll place an offer this week. Anything less than £150 million up front should be immediately rejected.

Think we're all frustrated. We need a breakthrough this week just to keep folk vaguely sane

Hypothetically if we get Wissa and Sesko (I don't think we will), I'm not sure who the starter is.

Harsh given him and Nickson are covering a position they're both unqualified to fill. Seems he's the designated scapegoat though.

Don't think Eddie is that daft like.

Sorry bad typo *wouldn't have been.

PIF would have been his boss.

It's not even comparable like.

Interested to see how Liverpool get on next season. On paper at least they look fantastic going forward, but vulnerable at the back.

I've not really been keeping track of this one. Does it seem like we're seriously in for him or is it just the usual agent using our name routine?

Remember when Richard Hughes was linked and the forum went mental, claiming he was just Eddie's mate?
