MotM performance.

If Willock is out for a while I’m really concerned about our ability to miss sitters in and around the six yard box.

Korean efficiency. Nee fucking about. Straight on the stretcher.

I’ve made my peace with the fact he wants to go. But the way this has all played out has been incredibly unusual.

I wonder if there’s something going on behind the scenes in tandem with the transfer speculation? Bruno made that odd comment about him going through a hard time, the kid gloves approach Howe and the club appear to have taking to dealing with what looks like unprofessional behaviour, him (allegedly) fucking back off to Sweden. The entire thing feels very off.

Is someone playing Champ Manager 01/02?

I can forgive him moving to Liverpool, but I can’t forgive him becoming a landlord.

Does it come with a family of nesting kittiwakes?

Kind of want us to sign DCL now to see how this place melts down

He was in the PL team of the season a few seasons ago. Doesn’t feel like he went through a precipitous drop off in form either, just got unlucky that he was the odd man out at Arsenal and there were no good options last summer. Not saying I love this transfer, but I think some of the criticism is a bit OTT. Particularly in light of Pope’s injury record and the fact Dubs has clearly been promised a move away.

Loan with an option isn’t the worst deal in the universe. Could end up being a bit like the Pope deal, where it only feels like an upgrade in hindsight.

Twitter transfer ITKs were always insufferable, but since Musk has started paying creators the entire thing has become the absolute pits.

On a point of principle I’d reject absolutely any bid out of hand. Even him asking not to travel in pre-season is bellend behaviour that we should stamp out.

This. The club is a business and the only duty now is to get as much money as possible. Isak’s own personal unhappiness doesn’t factor into it. It’s £150m to get us round the table, as it’s always been. If that’s not forthcoming then he can get his head back down for the next few months. The minute we demonstrate we can be led around by the nose by players and agents then it’ll cause us no end of problems. The worst possible outcome here isn’t Isak throws a wobbly and refuses to play - not a sensible move during a WC season, nor are you doing your own standing with potential suitors any good - but that we come out of it looking like soft touches.

The monkey would hit someone occasionally.

We’re going to put someone’s eye out?

Tell you what’s massively underrated lads? Putting your phone down and going outside. I did it for a few hours and almost forgot about this absolute shit show. Five stars. Would recommend.

Nah, we should sell our best and most valuable player at a below market rate because a few people on N-O are grumpy.

Imagine how good this cunt will be when he’s been Howed to fuck.

It could add an extra mile to The Line.

When he rises above Tyrone Mings, pleated skirt flapping in the summer breeze, to nod in a last minute winner

I’m already getting excited about how we try and fail to spend the £150m.

The only thing that’s giving me pause is Howe’s comments after Celtic. He was unequivocal about Isak being a good egg. I reckon he’d be a lot more measured if it was kicking off behind closed doors.

They look better on.
