CB Fry

Moses wept.

It's unlikely now, but if I do have a son I am definitely calling him Osaretim Kordt Gerard Fry.

Can you remind me how much we got from Liverpool for Mane please? I've forgotten but I know it's a figure you always have to hand.

Sounds like we are playing well in this early stages but we haven't managed to score. Still hope for the future and a good platform to build on for the rest of the season.

Last week.

Cheers. Signed up with Limitless, just waiting for the file to build on Kodi, I've raised a ticket to get that. Always a ball-ache this stuff, hopefully sorted before 3pm.

Defeat, but with a twenty minute section that shows "hope for the future/progress/something to build on" etc etc. This will be either "We started strongly but couldn't score" or "We were much better later in the second half". The usual sh ite. Hope I'm wrong etc etc etc.

And if they are not good enough for that, but good enough to be a squad player in the PL, everyone seems to hate them anyway. Hello JWP.

No one seems to give two sh its about it in August when everyone is having a meltdown because Fulham and Bournemouth have spunked twenty eight million quid on a player no one has ever heard of.

So strange, and not even in hindsight. Pretty much everyone was non-plussed/perplexed by Forster's extension at the time. Then, it was pointless. Now, it looks insane.

This is the first weekend of the season where I am home to see a game.....am I right in thinking that Flawless has shut up shop? Seems to have decided that I don't have an account. What's the best Kodi alternative now? (no Bitcoin please).

Do you still think we are a level below Stoke in terms of club stature and ambition?

I agree. We should be developing our young players by letting them leave and also by not letting them leave.

HAS EVERYONE FORGOTTEN THE LAST TIME WE PLAYED IN LIVERPOOL IN THE LEAGUE CUP FFS

Except signing Mane wasn't particularly ambitious, he was just an excellent player. Ditto Virgil. Your fundamental point that we beat off major clubs to sign them is just horsesh it. We didn't, they were completely unproven at that elite level. Elyounoussi from a player spec/history/status/potential perspective is no less ambitious than Mane. Ditto Vestergaard vs Virgil or Lovren. We've signed two twenty million pound strikers in two consecutive windows. That's pretty ambitious. We've signed a keeper for £13m when we've already got one on something like £100k a week. We had a bench full of £15/16/18m players last season. You're confusing ambition with success in retrospect. Leicester's transfer activity the summer Ranieri joined was utterly uninspiring and completely unambitious. We haven't signed another Mane but then not many other clubs like us have or will. Get over it.

You need to blather about spurious transfer rumours from 2013/14/15 to make the point that Mane, Virgil and Wanyama are better than our current players? Fu ck me you are special.

So what point were you actually making in that original post then?

LOL okay then. Meanwhile here's Arsenal being linked with Elyounoussi https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/5759369/arsenal-eyeing-up-basel-ace-mohamed-elyounoussi/ And Everton linked with Armstrong. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/royalbluemersey.sbnation.com/platform/amp/2017/8/17/16160692/everton-transfer-rumours-news-stuart-armstrong-celtic-west-brom-southampton And Everton linked with Vestergaard. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-news-transfers-live-lookman-14831095 And Arsenal linked with Vestergaard. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11670/11199942/arsenal-transfer-news-and-rumours-theo-walcott-and-jannik-vestergaard

The only competition I can recall for Virgil at the time was Sunderland. Mane's signing was out of the blue on deadline day with very few rumours beforehand of him coming to us or anyone else. Victor, personally can't remember him being linked to anyone bigger than us. Just a mid-table club signing a Celtic player. Big clubs sign very few Celtic players.

Brighton beat Manchester United. We beat Brighton. Say no more.

YES YES YES YES YES

They'll probably favour the WHU one.

Just showed the Austin chance on SSN. Pathetic.
