Struggling to stop thinking about what might have been after this weekend. The whole summer and season is different if Liverpool hadn't swooped in.

Weird but same. A timeline where we don’t fuck around and let Isak go to Liverpool and we get Ekitike early and we’re probably fine this season [emoji38]

Top player, seems a bit of a whopper though. Absolutely no way he wouldn't have overtly used us as a stepping stone.

 

For sure, might have even forced his way out this coming summer. But we'd be better off.

But Eddie should be ‘nowhere near transfers’….

How do you know that?  The Ekitike saga started long ago.  Also, who identified Wissa and Elanga?

Wissa and Elanga were backups after the club failed to sign any of the first choices.


Wissa maybe (given Howe tried to keep Wilson for another season come last season’s end) but unsure that Elanga was a backup. He was through the door early, before all the Isak stuff kicked off and we also bid for him in summer 2024.

Alright, I’ll rephrase.

 

Another player Eddie wanted us to sign once he was identified by someone within the club.

I get the impression we wanted Mbeumo and Semenyo above him, but the Mbeumo wanted Man Utd, and the club thought Semenyo would cost £70m+ and didn't think he was worth that (or could afford it).

Is it really that bad to be used as a stepping stone by the odd player? Isak contributed massively to 2 CL qualifications and the cup trophy. Then when he threw a tantrum we banked twice the transfer fee that we paid. I'd say that's a pretty damn good outcome, even considering that he was a cunt who forced a move in the end. I wonder what we would have achieved if we didn't make that signing out of concern of being used as a stepping stone.

 

The issue is how we wasted all the money that we got for him..

Something tells me this is Nickson all over rather than Howe

How do you know it was Eddie? Anyway  Eddie should be nowhere near transfer based on the Elenga pursuit. It was such a bad judgement alone that he should be nowhere near transfer under any circumstances. Even if didn’t want him. Just the fact that he didn’t stop the idea of him.
