Well I've missed the last 24 hours or so being on a couple of flights and I refuse to pay the extra $20 for internet Good thing considering the shit show came to its inevitable end. I'm as furious as the rest of you that Isak got he wanted in the end but it's difficult to see what choice we had in the end all things considered. I'd have loved for him to rot on the bench or be forced into a loan move somewhere for a year but the optics plus potential impact on dressing room may have been considerably bad. I don't know. The only thing we know for sure what a massive CUNT this lad has proven himself to be, the way he's destroyed his legacy here and acted with zero class. At least this is being acknowledged almost universally. I hope his career completely unravels from here. The club has done remarkably well overall in the window, the squad is much stronger and we have hope Wissa and Woltemade can match or improve on the rat's record. We can now move on and truly start the season. Hopefully we've learnt our lesson on execs and there's a proper structure in place by the time of the next window; and other important decisions like the stadium are made soon. Howe again has come off incredibly well in all of this and helped navigate a potentially disastrous window without much help from management. Give the man a new contract, give him whatever he wants, there can be absolutely no fecking about when it comes to his future. Hopefully the ownership recognize this.

If we're going to end up accepting Liverpool's low ball offer what was the point of dragging this saga so long? Hopefully chicken nonce is just covering his bases as usual

Given the Jackson loan fee was supposedly around 15M, could we justify a 20M loan fee to Saudi and then sell him for 120M next summer? I know Isak won't want to go there but that might change sharpish once the window closes.

Just like PSR rules, the premise of VAR is fine but the application of it is just to benefit the big boys. There's got to be a reckoning of some sort at some point you'd think but probably not.

Wtf I was sure this was parody but apparently not

Safe to say we're winning the lot this season.

Which we might be able to stump up IF Isak is sold for 150M odd.

No way that happens without selling Isak, and there may not be enough time this window once and if his move goes through. It would be insane if we did pull off something like that though. The other one to target if Isak goes could be Alvarez, obvious I know and many clubs would be interested if he's unhappy at Atleti. He'd be a brilliant signing though, still only 25 and would complement the new no 9. Proper statement too to offset the Isak loss.

That's fine but it'll also send the wrong message on player power and reward Liverpool for the way they've acted. I'm not saying I have a good solution to the Isak mess but we've got a find a way of making them pay, even if it's literally (more cash).

Aye, especially if it's for anything less than 150M.

Did he only WANT Bayern though? Did he, Fabreeze-eo??

The optics of this are so important as well. For the morale of the squad, for the media, for everyone who still thinks we can be bullied. Whoosing in a top striking prospect out of nowhere after apparently having bid for everyone in public Yasir boy was on a mission.

Fire up the Youtube.

This is class. Just what the doctor ordered. The real power move now would be to tell Isak to shut the feck up, sign the new contract and get his move in the summer or rot on the bench for a year.

A valid point but some of the things he did today were concerning, that attempted bicycle kick btw I mean long may it continue, another career ruined and all but who gives a shit, the idiot picked them.

My confidence in our transfer dealings has taken a bit of a hit given we bid 80M or so for Sesko

I think we're all missing the point here. You have to admire Amorim for sticking to his guns as far as playing his style goes. So brave believing in your system no matter what, even if you're getting dry bummed by league two opposition.

We respect cultures too, I've got a ton of respect for the Japanese and their idea of honor. Even their pets buy into it. There was this frog a WW2 soldier had that decided to follow him into death. It kermit suicide.

Beat me to it, bastard

A KKK huddle?

Mexican and black jokes are all the same If you've seen Juan you've seen Jamal

This place clearly needs a lift so, what did the drummer name his two daughters? Anna one Anna two

Yeah and we just signed Thiaw. It's about player quality, I don't think Howe has a filter on his scouting sytem that excludes Europe.

I hope the club is ready to push the nuke button come next week given how Isak has acted. Fines plus banned from training until he issues an apology and signs an extension, let him rot otherwise. He will destroy his world cup chances. It will hurt us in the short run of course but a precedent needs to be set now for the likes of Isak and Liverpool.
