All smacks of b****x this. He didn't hang tight cos we told him to wait. He'd be at Chelsea right now if Monaca hadn't cancelled the deal. Was a cert the 'we're gonna do all this next year' stuff would be briefed really quickly.

Proper nightmare start to season if we don’t win this one

Should have just bought him now then. ] INFO: “Information reached us around Deadline Day that if Alexis Mac Allister had left, their [Liverpool] top choice would have been Lamine Camara from Monaco, and so maybe we have to watch this space in the future to see what happens around that.” [@David_Ornstein on @TheAthleticFC Podcast] The briefing has started then, as expected. Alex cook saying we told Camara we’d be interested in signing him next summer, with Macca potentially leaving at end of this season.

People have noticed he just has one continuous eyebrow now. He is. That's why people are concerned.

A lot of rumours here in Belfast that Bradley has been hanging out with protestants and the club is very concerned about it. Quite rightly, imo.

Was meant to be before that game apparently but I’d say you’re right. Might all be b****x obviously but I’m still sending it in to Popbitch

Haha just that he’s a bit up his own a*** and particularly rude to staff. Oh and claimed he made a bedridden kid step up before he signed something for him during a hospital trip but that sounds like purple monkey dishwasher rumour s*** to me.

He just said ‘nobody likes him’. He said he’s really rude to the non playing staff. And someone else who works with Irish FA said Kelleher was saying how arrogant Dom is. Better than getting a proper DM this. Probably not the people included in this I’d say. And I wouldn’t expect someone to not be given a new contract just cos they’re a t***. Pinch of salt obviously

Working with someone today that works (sort of) with LFC. He said nobody at the club likes Szoboszlai. It was the boost I needed after this s***show of a window.

Be interested to see what Iraola says when he’s asked about transfers. He wasn’t sitting on the fence talking about how we needed more players in. I think it’ll help that, unlike those two, Barcola has a bit of swagger and cockiness

That young keeper has signed anyway. Back to genk on loan.

Haha I thought he was quite reliable? But he’s been chatting s*** for weeks now. Phony B Bawkins I’m going to call him.

I’d say it’s more likely that fabrice lad is talking s*** on gusto tbh. He seems to have been wrong loads this summer on Liverpool stuff. Of course we should have had a brand new right back already through the door by now. Madness it wasn’t a priority.

Course we do. And if we paid what Chelsea were apparently asking for him, people would go nuts too.

Gary Jacob: Crystal Palace are favourites to sign Lyon and Belgium winger Malick Fofana after hijacking Sunderland's proposed £30million deal. His possible arrival could trigger Ismaïla Sarr's departure.

Chelsea linked with Zubimendi should Enzo F go to City.

It really was Barcola and nothing else. Haha. Incredible.

The not moving it forward quickly enough is maddening. Dom can't seem to do it and far too often Macca takes about four touches before moving the ball.

We've quietly been bad at transfers for a few years now really. That unreal hit rate we had for a stretch under Klopp is long, long gone.

Looks like Spurs are taking Mudryk on loan and the non-mandatory buy option clause, according to Romano, is £75m. Do Chelsea have nude pictures of every other director of football?

Hadn’t even been any speculation about a new DOF. Unless it’s just gonna be that Woodfine lad and he’ll just he announced when Big Moves Hughes f***s off.

City getting that Ndiaye from Everton

Aye they’ve shafted him. Could tell in his tone he was a bit miffed but reiterating that he’d been assured they’d happen. They love briefing very quickly about how class they were in any deal. Funny that it seems Hughes didn’t even get this done. [] INFO: PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi stood firm through lengthy and tense negotiations with Richard Hughes before Mike Gordon became involved in the latter stages. The finer details were not easy to iron out, but eventually a breakthrough was found following a crunch meeting on August 25. [@TheAthleticFC]

No he is a better player of course. But he’s not a right winger. People are saying “he did put a few good crosses in on Saturday from the right” with a straight face. That’s mad. The plan for losing Salah was to shift someone over from the left that had an absolute stinker of a season. Good grief. (I know Barcola is the Salah replacement in spirit and hopefully he’s a superstar but still)

The pathway for Rio well and truly NOT blocked. This whole thing has done his reputation the world of good tbf
