Would be happy with Muniz as a backup striker assuming we went big on the RW and CB positions.

What even is that fee for Kudus?

Given the fee it’s seemingly going to cost to get Mbeumo + his wages I’m sort of pleased we haven’t. It’s similar to how we tried to get Guehi last season as the absolute peak of his value. Remove his penalties which he won’t get ahead of Isak or Bruno at Man U I’m not sure it’s an entirely risk free purchase.

Also linked with Gyokeres. It could be a potentially huge window for them.

I really like Pedro and he strengthens the squad but for that sort of money he isn’t playing ahead of Isak. First signings should be RW and CB if they’re doing the transformative signings they were talking about.

These early transfer moves aren’t gonna happen are they?

Were we linked with Ait Nouri a few seasons back?

I thought there was a real link there for a second

Trafford is clear of him already. Pope is miles ahead. It’s no loss for us.

Yeah I think he’s shite. Ideal no2 keeper.

PSG for me. Entirely for Enrique. I saw that interview the did about his daughter and his life after it. As a parent myself I can’t imagine that and getting on with life as he has.

That Wirtz fee seems high to me. He looks great. Had an unbelievable season the one before this one. There’s absolutely no scope in that sort of fee for him to be anything other than a Salah type club impact or it to be viewed as a waste of money. That’s a lot of eggs in one basket for Liverpool too given they don’t have a striker.

Wasn’t overly convinced of Delap until he chose Chelsea over us and now I’m pissed off. It’s officially transfer season.

One of the reasons that makes me doubt this Hope article is he’s never held back any information at any point regardless of how damaging it’s been for the club because of the timing of the story. If he’d have known any of this he would have been writing “exclusives” any chance he got. I bet there’s probably an essence of truth in it but it feels like it’s been exaggerated a lot for his own benefit to me.

It’s amazing how wrong we’ve got this role since Amanda and Mehrdad left. I also think people are jumping the gun a bit with the Howe v Mitchell thing. It could be a multitude of reasons.

The timing of this is awful

Hasn’t been able to put together performances since that really long injury lay off. I agree with you though and I think people forget his ability. It’s understandable I suppose.

Cold move from Bellingham that

Just let him go Eddie it’s time

This has cheered me up no end

Wished he could have ended on a high. He’s been arguably one of the best strikers for us in my lifetime and will only look back with good memories. He’s run through sand all season though I imagine Leeds would be an ideal destination for him.

I’m sure with time, a summer of transfer and seeing us in the champions league draw I’ll be less moody about that but that was absolutely gutless against a completely non-entity of a football team. I totally get why that system was used v Chelsea but it was clear very early it was pointless here. It didn’t suit any of our attacking players in a game where we were always gonna face a low block. Barnes completely redundant in that inside right role. Same for Gordon on the left meaning Murphy couldn’t supply Isak. Isak was well off it again. The subs from Howe were shit and made little sense and the performances from those brought on even worse - Osula aside. Tactically one of Howe’s worst games for me.

That’s the only thing that’s gonna save me stinking mood

I’ve genuinely thought DCL would be a good free before

Loads of dropped points against shit teams. Fulham twice. West Ham. These cunts. Brighton.
