Fair play, they’ve gone all in this window. A lot of pressure on them next season compared with this one gone

It’s a non-starter. Doesn’t make the debate and the attempt to ‘moralise’ the issue for the integrity of the game any less tedious and pathetic. It might be something that clubs could make a case about if we were a club scrapping around the championship or bottom of the PL and we made a huge value sale on a player who was a nothing player. What would be the argument here? We’ve gotten into the champions league and sold a player whose stats are strong and who’s widely regarded as an extremely talented player in the league. The whole thing’s absurd

I do like Ange actually, not enough to hope that Spurs don’t crash and burn again

Honestly man, the business world of football is absolutely tragic. No one gives a single shit about anything other than how they can screw other people over and make as much money as possible. As a case study, football finances makes for a particularly brutal indictment of hyper capitalism. Just come out and say that you’ve shat your pants, Levy et al

Fair enough, hard to know exactly who’s being a dickhead in the scenario. I don’t have any faith in PSG’s senior management but I also think Mbappe was mad to sign the original contract extension when he was all but gone to Real Madrid. If he can’t get a move this summer then itll be because of poor previous decision making

Thought he’d said he wouldn’t play again for them, let me find the tweet

We’ll certainly walk away if they’re taking the piss or moving the goalposts. We’ll have a set fee that is our limit and if Southampton don’t accept we’ll walk away and leave it to them to decide whether they want to cash in on a risky asset that could lose a lot of value if it either takes him a while to return to previous form or if Southampton struggle with contending for promotion

If we’re offering circa £30m and they’re looking for more that’s a bit mental on their part, with him having not played properly since the ACL injury and then having been relegated

Is Jow our most likeable player ever?

Hope it gets done as soon as possible with Madrid. The fact he’s saying he won’t play again for PSG is embarrassing. When you sign a contract you take responsibility for it, sure you can be unhappy with things but it was clear who PSG were and how things would work out there if he extended

This is a worse reception than when I asked Snrub why he stank of piss

The football forum backlash to this transfer window if we don’t have a top 6 season is going to be something to behold

Think it’s early to be making any judgements on Ekitike. His attitude might be a barrier but his ability is not

Love him

Deal’s off

Diaby is clearly a lot more talented than Bailey but I’m not convinced he’ll adjust straight away here. Which wingers have come in, in recent years and shone in the premier league? A lot have been bought by Chelsea and Man U who have struggled. Luis Diaz was amazing from the start to be honest

Don’t think Howe would even consider it as an option unless there was a purchase clause

Think that Everton away kit is one of the worst I’ve ever seen

Fair play if they do, I’ll always dislike them but would prefer them to finish high than Chelsea and Tottenham, which I think is doable. Can’t see them coming close to Man City, Liverpool or Arsenal. This season is going to be the most competitive at the top of the table since the start of the PL I think

We seem to have an issue keeping a lid on transfers from within the country, less of a problem outside in the rest of Europe and further afield

Not a fan of this one, generally don’t like dark blue kits even though I think the design is decent enough

You’re like an AI that’s been incorrectly programmed

I’m not underrating him as a footballer, I’m saying his attitude is pathetic and that that can be toxic. I’ve seen a bunch of ex-Man U players criticise him for his attitude, Schmeichel being one of them. It might be a leadership quality to be a dickhead when things are going your way, let’s see how it goes if Man U have difficult runs of form
