Maldini

They've had nearly a year to plan for Salah's replacement and we end up desperately scrambling to sing 2 lads that none of us would have been happy with at the end of last summer with 48 hours left of the window. It's just staggering incompetence.

Palace are a gang of pricks aren't they, why would anyone go there when they make it so hard for players to leave

So many of them allowed to get to the last year of their deals too, Kelleher has 12 months left, Trent left on a free, Konate left on a free, Robertson left on a free, Morton had 12 months, Jones had 12 months, Salah got down to the end of his last deal,. The squad management has been atrocious since Edwards left the first time

He just shouldn't be played centrally. He's wreckless in possession in a way that no competent centre-mid should be. He's Beckham in every way shape and form.

It doesn't take long for mediocrity to destroy any system. Three years since Klopp left and the whole soul of the club has been pulled out by the roots.

Our attacking options off the bench today are Koumas and Rio, there's no way we should let Gakpo go even if we get another winger in

Nice dig at Statler and Waldorf there as well

They're not really journalists, they're glorified PR agents for the club. As Orwell said: Journalism is printing something that someone does not want printed. Everything else is public relations

There's nobody there, the next one up is Josh Abe who's only turned 16 and just had an operation on his shoulder

Keep him then, he's on £3m a year, we spend that on Academy players. He's of more use to us than a few million quid in the bank especially when we're already 5/6 players short

Muñoz too

Sending Elliott out on loan is moronic as well, we're short at 10 and RW, why are we getting rid of another body?

Wasn't there a bit of talk that PSG wanted a buy-back clause? That's the only way you'd excuse this

We're in a bit of a weird spot with him, he's obviously got huge potential but he's nowhere near ready to be a regular starter yet and we're about to spend £100m+ on a guy who plays in the same position. I hope he's got a good team around him who are prepared to be patient and let him develop over the next couple of years rather than insisting he starts every week. He's only got a couple of years left on his deal after this season but he's eligible to sign a longer contract from tomorrow (when he turns 18). I wouldn't be surprised if he waits until the summer to see if he's getting chances. I wouldn't be surprised if we cash in come the summer if he's not renewed which would be a big shame.

I don't think I could handle TAW butchering that name twice as often as they are

Sounds like he's the Isak backup too

They've sold £1bn worth of players since their owners came in, City have sold over £300m worth of players this summer and only lost one first team player. The mid table sides are propping up the failures of the top teams this summer

I think/hope Barcola is going to unlock Wirtz and Isak. He's brilliant at timing runs from outside the right back into the space between the right back and the centre back, it'll give Wirtz a through-ball that he doesn't have with Gakpo and it'll make the CB move off Isak which they don't really have to do at the moment.

What is Monaco's situation?

The first two don't even play for those clubs anymore and Bardghji (who's at Barca now) just did his ACL.

Yeah it's been done a lot in recent years, I'd argue there's been a better hit ratio with signings from The Championship to the Premier League than some of the other big leagues. Whatever we think about this lot they were/are solid PL players: Maddison, Maguire, Toney, Watkins. I think the Hackney lad Everton got will do well for them too unfortunately

We spent £125m on a 10 when our best player was a 10. We spent £90m on a forward and then made him a backup by spending £125m on another forward. Now we seem like we're about to spend £140m on a left winger when it's arguably the only position on the pitch where we actually have some quality and depth. All the while we have let the midfield go to s***e and we haven't replaced arguably our best ever player on the right despite knowing he was leaving for 6-9 months.

Remember when Ziege was a world class wing-back but then we tried to play him as a left-back and he was absolute dog s***? We might have done it again.
