Liverpool winning the league and adding Ekitike, Wirtz, Frimpong, Mamardashvili, Kerkez, Frimpong and potentially Isak to their side. Chelsea getting a £100m for a glorified friendly competition and buying anyone with a pulse. Villa selling their womans team to themselves. Journalists publicly tapping up players for the cartel clubs. Whole thing just feels proper demoralising

Even if we got the £150m which I don't think we will under these circumstances who are genuine striker alternatives? Ekitike was probably the most similar profile wise and the one I could stomach being his replacement, not convinced by Sesko at all.

I'll be absolutely furious if the Saudi's come in and overpay for Nunez and help fund the transfer to Liverpool like

At least tickets are only £75 if you want to watch Isak and Ekitike lineup against us first home game of the season.

Aren't the lines supposed to represent the Tyne Bridge? Sure that was said before the images surfaced. Doesn't really work at all like

Isak played way too many minutes last season where he was either injured of knackered to the point he couldn't even run. Wissa would get a lot of game time.

Why do people mentioning Delap in this context? He had a £30m release clause we'd have obviously met that if he was interested.

Think we probably would have ended up getting him cheaper. Price was always going to go up with Liverpool's 'power move' announcing they have £120m to spend on a striker.

Best news of the window so far.

It simply wasn't though? I don't know why people keep pushing the idea that Barnes specifically financially crippled us. We made £26m profit on Minteh alone, Barnes had cost us 7.5m in terms of book fees at that point and we still had to flog Anderson. If there was a choice it was between selling a purple or letting those two leave. Even if you want to ignore the facts, Barnes also played a massive role in our best ever season.

Would rather another 3 years of him in his prime then let him leave on a free than sell to Liverpool.

Whole thing is embarrassing from Liverpool. They simply aren't used to being told no and are acting like a spoilt kid. If they truly want Ekitike go and pay his release clause you've just announced to everyone you have £120m sitting around for a striker, you'd even have some change left over. They've banked on Isak kicking up a fuss and trying to force a move through because who wouldn't want to play for Liverpool?

Romano absolutely relentless for what is essentially "we know he's not for sale but if he is we'll offer less than he's worth"

The first touch on that goal is a really underrated part of it. So hard to take it perfectly like that running at that speed on your weak foot.

Only time they've finished outside the top 8 in the last 17 seasons. They'll be a proper team again next campaign.

Brutal for Forest.

Kudus release clause was only active for first 10 days of July. Valued at £80m for teams on the continent, £85m for those in the Premier League and £120m for those in Saudi Arabia. Is that normal, to have 3 different prices in a contract?

Juve 3rd.

Feel like Watford nearly always have honking kits and sponsors.

Coutinho to Vasco. Had no idea he was still a Villa player

I remember Arteta defending him saying he's happy for him with everything he has been through. Horrible little cunt.

What world class wingers are available for that price out of interest?
