Yeah, he’s almost too nice, super endearing, definitely want him to succeed here but I think we’re still figuring out how to get the most out of him

Ah, that’s a fair point actually, he’s not been on the bench so far has he? But we’re getting thin on the ground, still hope we loan him out

That’s just sport interviews in general, absolute waste of time almost always. interviewer : “What would it mean to come away with three points?” Generic player: “Yeah, it would mean a lot, we want to continue our run, it’s important for us.” Interviewer: ”And how important is it to start the season well?” Generic player: ”very important, we have an aim of where we want to be and we need to keep working towards that”

This lad’s not in the starting 11 or on the bench for the U-21s tonight, hopefully a quality loan spell in the championship beckons

Doubt it, he’s one of the straightest guys out there, I don’t think he’d ever directly lie. I think he could bring himself to imply something that could be misinterpreted but that’s his limit

So, Klopp is angling for a deadline deal for Wood is he? I’d hate to lose one of our best players so late in the window but who are we to stand in his way

Think they’re set for another relegation battle season but their home form will probably carry them through. They’re not going to get a lot of goals and it’s not like they’ve got a quality midfield or defence so it’ll be a long struggle for them all season. You’re right that the characters in the dressing room are more steely now though, should count for a lot when they’re going through poor patches

If they hold onto Pedro and Sarr then they’re getting promoted

There’s a way to say it where you talk about strengthening the squad and then there’s a way of saying it where you completely undermine your players. The way Parker talked about it, it sounded like he was calling out his players as nowhere near good enough

That’s on the ref and that horrific Tranmere team. It was unlucky that a challenge like that led to such an awful injury but the ref gave us zero protection and they’d been sent out to clatter into us non-stop

Why the fuck anyone goes on that show so that Richard “bloated as fuck, probably days away from a heart attack” Keys can talk over them?

Apart from Chelsea loanees which appear to have all gone cold, have we had other loan names linked? Wonder if that Barca player we were linked with could be a loan option

Daily Mail: “Stevie G is ideal for any club in the premier league because he’s English, he’s white and he’s a hero. Really he shouldn’t be stopping to the levels of Newcastle or Villa and should be first in line for the job at liverpool”

French league has a massive chip on its shoulder as we keep taking their best players, it’s fairly understandable why they’re salty. Lyon probably valued him way higher than what he’s gone for as well but because they’re either strapped for cash or Paqueta was desperate for the move they ended up selling

Hahaha

I want to see this lad in Newcastle airport on deadline day with a t-shirt that reads ‘It’s not over for the Joao Pedro transfer’

Let the preparations commence

How long’s Nickson been at the club? Our transfer business under Ashley was severely hampered by Ashley being a sadistic cunt but we’ve seemingly scouted extremely effectively since he left and I’m sure we were scouting well before, just endlessly kneecapped by Ashley Edit: his LinkedIn says he was head of youth recruitment from 2011-2017, must have been a thankless task. Then became head of recruitment in 2017, must have been the best day of his life when we got taken over

Never understand the interest in playing centre backs as defensive midfielders even when they’ve never or barely played there

Shame for Pulisic’s career like, he should be playing every game in this league for a top 8 side and that could have been us but unfortunately he’ll be bench warming for a lot of the season

Don’t really have an issue with Dubs here, he’s done what’s best for him, just feels like we’ve negotiated a weak deal for our club

Nah, only if he feigns injury after Joelinton chops him

Maybe it’s related to the cost of living crisis and he’s going to go homeless over the winter to save £££££

Shola and Peter Ramage

Sounds like we’ve caved there because of wanting to do right by Dubravka. Why else would we agree to those terms?
