Can't see him playing in a couple of weeks so that will have to be a double hattrick at Anfield.

Maybe but I have always felt that Howe doesn't give anything away in pre-season. We didn't once see our first eleven this summer in one game, they were always mixed and rotated.

This might be harsh on Barnes but how about: Pope Trippier Schar Botman Burn Tino Bruno Tonali Joelinton Elanga Gordon Sit back, counter and get the fast fuckers in behind the high line and bearing down on goal. Would also prefer Ramsdale but know it will be Pope

Surely he will have looked at the fact that Targett and Ashby playing CM in pre-season as an absolute must to get a new CM in.

Would have been good to have signed him last summer instead of chasing Guehi. Would be ready now, all being well, to displace Schar as first choice. I worry about Burn and Schar this season being first choice until Botman and hopefully Thiaw get up to speed. Watkins ripped them apart last year

The only good Luke Edward’s is doing here is pissing off the irritating Liverpool twitter fans in the same way he does us

Don’t forget that we beat Carlisle!

Not watching now but neither Lascelles nor Murphy will play a single minute at centre back this season all being well and they’re up against one of the best teams in Spain so it is what it is!

Have some people got the stream working?

Embarrassing that we are paying so much more than we could have paid if we just bought him at the start of the window for someone we have evidently been wanting for years. Genuinely think that’s the biggest embarrassment of a horrific transfer window so far. However, if Howe and the team have fancied him this long then he must have something about him despite the negative noise so fingers crossed this one works out.

Also thought Miley and Bruno linked up really well and had a good understanding

Why are people shitting the bed. We have a game tomorrow, it was always going to be a weak team tonight

Hopefully starting him tonight with Gordon/Barnes starting tomorrow. Will be good to see how he does from the start

Samu Wissa Pacqueta Thiaw What would that cost? £180m? Sell Isak for close to £150m and we can start looking forward again. Surely there would be some extra money available as well in January if needed

Very speculative, you wouldn't have seen an article like this from Ornstein a few years ago. Saying that, yes please! I think him or Woltemade are the last realistic signings that we could potentially make to replace Isak that are potentially exciting. Both rely on Wissa signing to give us that PL experience whilst they adapt.

They will know that they can't upgrade with Joao Pedro and then sell Jackson for more than they bought him for. I do think there is a decent player in Jackson at about £40m to £50m, any more and we shouldn't go near him. The guy also comes across as a tosser which doesn't help.

Nicolas Jackson will barely play next season as third choice striker so his value will only decrease. They will surely accept much lower than the quoted price. Saying that knowing Chelsea he will play 10 games next season, score 0 goals and go up another £20m in value.

£20m for Broja is absolutely ridiculous, the guy has scored two league goals in the last three seasons, how on earth do Chelsea get these sort of fees? Also made a profit on Ugochukwu despite him having a pretty average season at Southampton. Burnley will finish rock bottom with these sort of signings.

Onana

The main reason I think he should have come to us is that I really believe that Howe would have taken him to another level and he would have then interested other big teams. However, I would not be surprised to see Man Utd finish above us next season with the team that they have and without the pressures of European football. So I don’t think it’s that strange a decision that some are making out.

Not a chance we get Ramos

‘Only wants to join Man Utd’. Get fucked you prick! Quite obviously not true even if they are his preferred destination

Never been keen on this one, but I will trust the scouting department if we do sign him. Still, a pretty depressing day so far!

Sounds like he has 'chosen' both of us, so that report was probably not wrong. Just sounds like if all things are equal he would prefer Man Utd. At the moment things aren't equal so it depends how much he prefers Man Utd as to whether he now puts pressure on RB Liepzig.

It isn't just bad luck but I would rather we targeted top players who could have brought us on a few levels then settle for somebody that we are not sure on. We have got to where we are by having a list of targets that we are certain on and we haven't missed once in the transfer market with the Saudi's once. I don't want them to change there approach as shit and annoying as this window has been.
