Mazzy Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 Liverpool already struck a deal it seems. They've clearly given up on Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All giving it we took your first choice target. Well, we kept yours Probably end up here next year in some sort of Isak swap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all our signings are made with resale in mind Also reports of them wanting £50m. Even at £40m, for a soon to be 29 year old with one year left on his contract? Good player but I can't see it, I think our name is probably just being used to motivate Spurs. Edited July 17, 2025 by Jackie Broon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mental gymnastics folks go through to support their own delusions is quite sad. We just stink at getting deals done quickly and discreetly.

Pilko Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 3 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: Tbf, so are Liverpool. The transfer market is utterly bizarre. It's difficult, because I'd rather we were challenging for these sorts of top players than breezing to sign inferior players that nobody else is bothered about signing. But, it feels like as soon as our interest is made public some other fucking club piles in and suddenly we were never even a realistic prospect for the player.

We just stink at getting deals done quickly and discreetly. Allowing one of the cartel clubs to swoop in and do whatever they like once we've laid the groundwork. I'd say it probably falls within the two extremes. We're trying to shop from the top shelf. It's super competitive and there's buyers with more clout and far deeper pockets. I don't mind us trying, as long as we get the required quality and numbers at the end of the day. At the same time, while I don't think we're master tacticians the Ekitike bid has certainly served a purpose. Liverpool have missed out on their top target here too.

I think most fans were starting to doubt at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-more Mag Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 One of the many things that sucks about the transfer window is that when the Twitter journos get revved up and start posting hot and heavy, it feels like it’s in real time, when there’s really a lag of probably at least 12 to 48 hours (totally made up numbers, but you get the drift).
