No I think you're absolutely right about that. But with PSR they can neutralise a growing threat. And Liverpool in particular have succeeded in doing so this summer...

Point is we're undisputably being blocked from moving to the next level by those at that level I've often thought Dortmund should be our model but I don't think we'll get there

I hear you but that makes us Brighton North. We've got champions league twice and won a cup, not sure Brighton are capable or even fuckin want to do that ..

With agents driving most of this bullshit that's not happening. Like they give a fuck about actual football

It started last season with Tosin. The reason why Isak is still at the club is in the first instance is down to PSR. Sesko killed us. Same profile as Isak when he came. Theyre on to us, any decent player we go for is being blocked. Am fairly convinced there's no way we get another comparative steal like Isak or Tonali for that matter. The first thing Isak needs for him to move on is a replacement and that's increasingly unlikely to the point of near impossibility. Our only option. Is attempted rehabilitation or selling for less that even <£120mill in the final days of the season . Chastening isn't how id describe that situation, it's a fuckin shit sandwich whichever way you chew it

Bit down this morning. I think we've got to face the brutal fact that with the rules as they are we're unlikely make a signing like Isak in the near, medium or long term future. Are the bullshit 6 deliberately blocking us now? I feel like that dangerous concept "HOPE" is attempting to murder us and in the last day or so it's fuckin grazed me with it's foil...

If you're sacked there isn't a contract to break though, and you did say NUFC could conceivably sack him. Not sure why you've brought soft cheese infused with herbs into it though 🤷‍♂️

Aren't you 30 years out of date with that last bit old man? Jean Luc Bosman sorted all that out

We can't turn £150 million down lads We wont get it like so it's all a bit moot...

Nothing's really changed .. Howe will have approved the club's response which means he STILL thinks the cunt can be rehabilitated And if Liverpool come up with an appropriate offer next week he'll be sold...

If that is the case it should've been absolutely top of Mitchell's intray when he arrived at the club ...

It's maybe a message to Liverpool..." up your fuckin bid you tight scouse cunts, am being hung out to dry here"....

If you ask me Howe thinks he can reintergrate Isak back into the squad. Hes left the door ajar to a huge extent. If Isak is still an NUFC player on the 2nd September Howe will lead the players, staff and in some ways after the chants on Saturday most importantly the supporters in how his career at NUFC is rebuilt... am confident Eddie will manage that situation 👍

RIGHT WHEN DOES THIS FUCKER SIGN??! (fickle? Me? 😁)

It has to be pointed out that Athletico are let down in their efforts to be an absolutely top side by their inability to score enough goals. Remember this lad but didn't even know he was there tbh

I think it was Pedro who was identified as Wilson's replacement and we put a bid in for him but he turned us down for Chelsea same as that centre half did last summer. You can talk about planning but if your first choice goes south that's when you see how good the planning is. Wissa is a reasonable second pick but after that we went for Etikike to replace Isak. That's when the real problems started...

Yeah we're a growing threat that they could actively neutralise. Read a couple of things that suggested PIF wanted to invest in LFC a few years back and were shut out by FSG. Might be something to do with that too..

I said it the other day. Liverpool football club have set out to humiliate us this summer and they've successfully done so. The knock backs from specifically Etikike then him joining Liverpool and to a slightly lesser extent Sesko were brutal. We have signed players like these from the start of the takeover and now we seemingly can't....

It'll never fit you

I can see Carragher sucking the mackems off on the TV but am listening to "I don't remember" by Peter Gabriel so I can't hear the whiney hockling scouse cunt so that's ok

Yeah, that's highly likely...

So Villa have been nailed for this by UEFA or something different?.. because they're having to sell their young lads.. why not just a fine for them? Bigger breech?
