  1. Yeah, Liverpool could really use that right back who went to Madrid. I remember people saying they wouldn't miss him, but his vision and passing are definitely missed. He was Salah's guy, Salah's Murphy.

    Didn't a new manager show up, and then the guy did well in preseason, so the manager wanted to keep him and offer a new contract? But he really wanted to come to us and had agreed personal terms, so they sold him. Forty million euros is a steal, in a market Max Kilman is a forty-million-pound defender.

    Wissa's got 56 goals or assists in 137 Premier League games, which means he got a goal or assist every 2.5 games for Brentford. He's getting on a bit, but we could still get three good seasons out of him. One thing's for sure about Eddie's Newcastle team: we make chances for our forwards. Wissa and Nick will get to double figures minimum in the epl if they both stay fit, and that'll more than make up for the goals Isak scored for us the last two seasons. Nick's got a lot of potential, but Wissa's been good in the Premier League for four seasons. Comparing their stats without considering how tough the league is is just silly, in my opinion.
  4. Dude was amazing at that, and replacing him with Frimpong was a total fail. It's not a good look when your manager plays you on the wing and a CM in your spot. Wirtz was supposed to take over Trent's offensive role, but he's just not cut out for this league. He's too weak with and without the ball. He's not worth 100 million.
  5. Isak's attitude this summer was a problem, If the rumors are true, he was pissed he didn't get a raise on his 150k a week deal after one good season where he scored over 20 goals. Howe had to really get him going after a rough start last season. We were in the Champions League, won a trophy, and he was a legend. What he and his agent did just shows you what he's about. If he sucks for Liverpool, do you think he'll take less money to play somewhere else? Or will he just sit on his contract? What player does that these days. A quick look at Man Utd and Chelsea should prove this.
  6. I saw some people here saying Frimpong is better than Trent. That Liverpool defense won't get them any trophies this year. It's a mess. Allison has saved them from some bad losses in the last two games. Their attack looks good, but the midfield is just okay, and the defense is terrible. It's like City last year, they started strong, getting good results even when they played poorly, and then it all fell apart. I think Liverpool will have a similar slump in October, November, and December. Isak was a fancy buy, and I guess they had to get him after he went on strike, but they should have fixed their defense and midfield instead. Lets see how they fair at Chelsea this weekend.
  7. Isak signed a six-year contract, and they say he's making 300k a week. Plus, he probably got a nice signing bonus, and his agent got a big payday from Liverpool for making it happen. Honestly, he's set. He won't care if he sucks. He's got his money for six years. The way he and his agent acted this summer should have been a major red flag for Liverpool, they clearly were in it for the money not sporting ambition. So, it's not worth revelling in how bad he's been for them as that does not affect him one bit. He and his agent are swimming in the £ as was their goal. So they won. Even if he is dog shite for the next 6 years for them. He still won. I'm just enjoying Liverpool's misfortune and hoping both Wirtz and Isak totally bomb this season. While salah and VVD fall of a cliff. In this story. No matter how it turns out. Isak and his agent won.
  8. Im not, he would be pushing for a move after 2 season ala Isak if we signed him.

    Yeah, you're talking about players from from 6/7 years ago. The game's changed a lot since then. Also I would argue the pace and physicality of the league is more than when santi played. You just have to look at Peps barca team and the treble man city team to see that this league doesnt suit small nibble players in the middle of the park, but out wide. Silva, foden etc.

    Wirtz is small, and he plays that number 10 role, you know, floating around and trying to create something it works in Spain and Germany, but I don't think it'll fly in the Premier League. Look at Maddison, even Havertz had to change things up when he came to England. Teams are so compact, physically strong, fitter and there's no space in the middle. I just don't see him fitting in. Liverpool's won all four league games, so Wirtz hasn't been getting as much attention. It'll be interesting to see what the media says when they start dropping points. Nick's at the right club to get better. We make chances all the time, and if he finishes them, he'll score 20 goals in all comps, easy. We just gotta manage his game time till Wissa's back.
  11. Yeah, it's easy to talk tough from your couch, right? You don't live this every day. Every press conference, always in the news, players constantly getting Isak questions. You gotta see it from their side, the ones dealing with it all the time. I get your opinion, but the real question was... Could Isak rejoin the team? If not, then it was time to cut ties and move on. Keep him until January or next summer, he's just going to mope around, with mysterious injuries, and cause problems in the locker room, being unprofessional, not training hard, and then still get sold to Liverpool or someother club? Having ruined our season like he has ruined preseason and the start of the league, now thats idiotic. All so we the fans can play Billy big bollocks on social media? Come on, be realistic.
  12. I'd give the window an 8/10, for sure. When everyone's healthy, we've got some serious options coming off the bench. I'm really happy with what we've done. I wish we could've replaced Willock with someone with a better injury record who fits our system better. But, besides the Isak deal, we're way stronger than we were last season. I'd have given it a 9.5/10 if we'd gotten Wissa and those guys a bit sooner. We could easily have 6 or 7 points right now. Can't wait to see what big Nick brings and finally having a real striker for Elanga to aim at. He's put in a couple of great crosses where a natural forward would've scored. Im sure we will have a quality season and by January Isak will have been forgotten, with big Nick and wissa banging them in. Howay the lads.
  13. So, the guy's 26, signed a six-year deal, supposedly making 300k a week. they'll get like, three or four seasons out of him, then probably sell him. If he sucks, they'll ship him off to Saudi Arabia. Look at Nunez. For him and his agent, it's a huge win, and they'll make more again if he goes to Saudi. So, for him and his cunt agent it doesn't matter if he plays well or totally flops at Liverpool But if he sucks for Liverpool, people will be questioning their signings, especially since Wirtz doesn't seem to fit in the league. They've got a good team on paper, let's see how it plays out this season. My wish. Isaks bombs, wirtz bombs, Liverpool barely scrape CL/arent in title contention, get knocked out early of the CL and Slot get the sack. Is that too much to ask? Now I have said it. The probably win the quad 🤢🤢🤮🤮

    He has a good season, i see a pre contract to Real Madrid in January. They do love a world class talent on a free them lot.

    Marc Guehi

    Looking back, we should've just given Palace whatever they wanted for Guehi. He's a total pro, a great guy, and super loyal. He wants to leave, but he's cool with staying. Must be awesome being a Palace fan watching him tonight. You know he won't throw a tantrum and will just keep going.
  16. Me too, wissa is a very important signing in big Nicks development for sure.

    We've got nothing up front right now, dude. Big Nick needs a Wissa like Isak needed a Wilson. Think about it this way: if Wissa scores 20 goals this season in all comps and we get a top-five finish, a Champions League run, and do well in the FA Cup, we'll be saying what a bargain he is. Let's see how things go before we say it's a bad deal. Howe's usually right about this stuff, so these opinions probably won't age well. Personally I have full faith wissa proves his transfer fee. We will be screaming bargain by January.

    Its a no brainer of a transfer once we got big Nick in.

    Yoane Wissa

    Yeah, I agree. These guys need time to get used to things and some help. Having some older, more experienced players really makes a difference. Like, Trippier would've helped Tino and Hall, and Schar/Burn helped Botman. Wilson helped Isak, and so on. The main thing is, while we're getting new players, we need to mix them with experienced guys who can take the heat. Is Wissa overpriced? Yeah, probably. But he'll take some pressure off Big Nick this season definitely and that's worth a few million on its own, and helps the model you are proposing to succeed as well as keeping us at the top end of the league constantly.

    Because, isak aside. We do not sell our high value assets. We just clearing the low value assets.
