Toney's on £450k per week isn't he? We're not paying that and the Saudi lot aren't gonna pay it either when they're not looking to lose him.

Proper thick cunts.

They've lost two of them, what's one more? We're at least not taking the piss here on price. It's not the equivalent of £110m for Isak.

"sources insist target price on 28yo never given to anyone"? Are they saying the £60m spouted the other day was bollocks? I'm assuming we're only £5m or so away from getting an agreement here. Hopefully we just go again quickly cos this is getting ridiculous.

If that's a deal approaching £45m, they've absolutely had our pants down and they should take the money and run. Hopefully they will. Holding out for more probably sees them end up with nowt.

Like five Richard Madeleys having a circlejerk.

40 + add ons next. Then walk if it's a no.

I cannot fathom why we've left this til Wednesday.

It'll be something about the club, I reckon. Or like a Bruno thing. Nothing divisive.

I'm expecting a mint galvanising display from Wor Flags as well to set the scene.

Nah, we skipped YER MA'S FANNY.

It's a nice thought, but unfortunatelt it's more likely Lascelles comes off at half time with his shorts on back to front and has to immediately retire from the game.

Hired a car and drove to Kos Town, SplitArseFace! I've been to see Hippocrates's Tree - it's FUCKED. Needs the Sycamore Gap treatment.

The streak continues. You, my friend, are running HOT!

I've been out for a few hours so I asked ChatGPT to summarise the last ten pages, and it just said "Every cunt just keeps saying the same fucking thing over and over again. Especially Craig." Can anyone confirm or deny?

I think the club saying they don't foresee the conditions being met is near enough an admission that we won't be bringing two strikers in.

He won't.

I think it's as simple as the conditions being: 1. We source a replacement 2. Liverpool meet our valuation Neither have been met, and we don't anticipate either or both being met.

What about this? Reintegrate, let him train with the team, but to get back into the match day squad he has to enter the ballot each week.

That is a very good statement.

Aye well, R Kelly believed he could fly.

Because he's under contract and Adidas will have wanted him to do it. No one should be reading anything into that.
