Mbappe and Vini will be fucking lethal together like. Thinking we might have to settle for a score draw in the Bernabeu now.

Downie certainly is

Yeah, I mean they won’t just give us a straight loan with the sole intention of that player getting game time.

Chelsea won’t be giving us a loan anyway man. We’re a direct rival now.

Hall’s only got 2 years left on his contract so now is probably the last chance to get max value for him

Modern day equivalent of a transfer request IMO

Catts for me like.

Seems an odd time to decide they’re not trying given they’re probably ‘trying’ more, relatively speaking, than they have at any point in the last decade or so?

He only broke it if we failed to sign him. If he signs then N-O automatically assigns it to the other bloke from the Telegraph who co-wrote the initial story.

Aye, it would certainly appear more of a possibility in that scenario. With absolutely nothing to back it up, I kind of think the ‘success’ rate of these type of deals is much lower than your standard transfers. Sure there’s someone obvious that completely dispels that, but on the whole I’m just not sure about them.

Yep, selling a youth player for mega money is FFP gold dust

WE’VE GOT VALENTINO FRANCISCO LIVRAMENTO IN THE MIDDDDDLE

The only reason any selling club would be interested in any kind of ‘loan to buy’ situation, is to move on a player who’s wages they no longer want to pay, to move on an unhappy/unwanted player, or for some accounting reason where they are better off receiving the money at a later date. Can’t see how any of them apply to Southampton/Livramento.

Third round qualifying draw on Monday. Shit edging closer to getting real.

Howay man, he’s not close to level we need now, but he’s not been that bad.

I know it would be far from ideal, but Gordon looks a better ‘emergency’ forward than ASM ever was.

Absolute bizarre take to say we’ve “wasted” money on the Euro U21’s Player of the Tournament.

Executes the finish from a yard out ??‍♂️

Absolutely zero chance he’s going anywhere on loan.

That would seem a fairly likely scenario, yes.

He’d be being brought in to play when Trippier doesn’t.

Yep, that was the big shock from tonight. Shame for Larne to go out after ET. Qarabag safely through. Baku would be a trip and a half.

*for Northern Ireland

Antony scored 4 PL goals. Barnes scored 13. *unsure if Barnes can do that spinny thing mind
