That’s not a plan B, that’s plan ‘shoot yourself in the foot’ Hopefully we have someone else lined up if something doesn’t happen in the next 7 days

I think the problem is their own perception of themselves and their status. They could probably find a striker commensurate with their size. Part of the issue is they have a disproportionate estimation of their standing within football and are target players on this basis. They are competing with the likes of us, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Manchester City for players, when the reality is the their pull and standing in football is more akin to the likes of Aston Villa, Spurs, and Everton. Yes they have champions league football but they are not the giants they delude themselves that they are.

But it’s and Isak who are breaking the whole universe asunder

Where are you on the flipflopometer today?

I'd watch this, it could be like a Pawn Stars type show where the seller brings the player in with an unrealistic expectation of what they’ll get for him, followed by experts ripping their valuations apart by dissecting everything wrong with the player, before a derisory offer is finally made.

Tedious this now. Wirtz dragged on but it was pretty much done for ages just the payment details being worked out. This is boring, either make an offer or move on. If we go into the season short on forwards the way we were with defenders last time we were defending the title I’ll be furious, absolutely livid.

Bet Mo Salah doesn’t listen to Phil Collins as well.

The only person in the conversation with Mo is Kenny. They also happen to be the best people to have played for us also.

I thought Robertson’s positioning looked miles better than Kerkez but seemed to be off the pace of the game

He’s a great person not just a brilliant footballer.

Never in doubt

He’s been poor on the whole

Nah Chiesa

Gone to s***e here

Poor that, been vulnerable all game

Apparently

Look a bit shaky at the back. Kerkez looks all over the shop, almost as though he’s had his b******s felt by Jeremy Beadle before kick off.

Bit of a shame after such a good start to the window we are starting the season with an incomplete squad.

Did he surreptitiously role one out of the bottom of his trouser leg on arrival?

Nothing new happening tonight then? I was reminded the other day of a kid when I was at school (not me this time) who decided to stick his dick through a crack/hole in a plaster board wall and couldn’t get it out again. We all had to leave the room whilst teachers and the care taker had to free him. Never did find out how he got free. His name was Peter. Not sure if this is a metaphor for the Isak situation or just more school based genital chat. Next up the phantom s***ter of Widnes six form college in the year of 1996.

I suspect we have a back up for Isak, but we won’t move unless we have no chance of getting him, so could be as late as deadline day. I don’t see us going into the season with only 3 recognised forwards

He was 40 years ago

No he isn’t

Neville is never right about anything, he just spouts off about what he’d like to happen rather than what’s correct or accurate. He’s a bad blert.
