Optimistic Nut

I know he's a journalist for clicks, but he could come across a little less enthusiastic and happy as a fan. He's going at this with the same energy he had when he was going all-in on McClaren & Bruce, but at least that was for the good of the club and for us.

A few big clubs were aware, they just had the earlier path to the first-team.

Gary Speed put his career going for so long at the top, down to going to Bolton.

Wissa, Elanga and a few more of that level if Isak leaves, probably gives us enough to compete for 5th again. That's going to be the best everyone else can expect now beyond the 4 who finished above us.

The fact we have to even think like this just shows what an absolute shit show PSR is. That paragraph is aids (not your fault ).

Any cunt who sings You'll Never Walk Alone next month should have their season ticket revoked. Minute silence for the Jota tragedy then make it absolutely horrible for them.

Horrible bunch of cunts.

£200m on £300k with a 3-season loan back to Newcastle covering 50% of the wage. Would love it if we just blatantly took the piss.

If Isak goes then we have no excuse not to get his replacement, CB, CM & GK (plus Wissa).

Mitchell left 3 weeks ago, club could have offered him that pay rise since then.

I really hope when he goes Howe, etc really push the, "PSR dictates that we couldn't afford what other clubs offered", etc.

"The rot will set in" ffs. It's not long ago Torres, Suarez, Alonso, Coutinho etc were moving on to other things from Liverpool. We'll replace him and sign others.

Such a shite question considering he won the World Cup like. I know it's technically correct but for a question like that you'd expect those 3 finals to be his best achievements and has always missed out on trophies.

Did he win it when they beat City?

Mitchell definitely being made the scapegoat like. Even if Isak wasn't happy with what he was being offered, he's now out the picture and we've known about 2 months now. Plenty opportunity for the club to say he fucked up, it's dealt with, here's what we offer. Personally feel Isak wants off regardless.

Can't be arsed to check but I bet Drogba's page doesn't look far off this.

We had about 15 fit players for half of the last campaign. Pretty certain if Isak goes, 3-4 quality players come in.

Assuming he's about as good as we could get as a replacement?

Not sure on that like. Tonali missed half of the last one, Hall & Livramento have more experience, Isak only scored 1 in that campaign.

Need to do and succeed in what Spurs failed with after they sold Bale. Eriksen was a big hit but the likes of Soldado, Paulinho, Capoue and Lamela were hit & miss. If we could pluck a Kane out of the academy in the next year or so it'd be a bit handy too like.

We were a shiny new thing when they joined with a shit oad of PSR room. We were also still relatively newly-rich and a CL side when Tonali comes. I'm not convinced they sign for us now.

The pool of players is naturally small, though? We're in a position now where the next step up is the elite clubs in the world. To get into that, the signings we make need to be good enough for those clubs. PSR means we can't. I think We've literally hit our wall now and it's rotten that it's regulations that are stopping us from getting those players.

We were arguably a fully fit Isak away from finishing 2nd last season, mind.

I really worry about our defence if we don't sign a centre-back mind. Two have barely played for 18 months and the other two lack pace and are getting older.

Wouldn't say fucked over, but similar to Ginola's red v Arsenal, that was the turning point from world class performances, to good/very good performances, but it's made him an obvious position to upgrade now.
