Wasn't that Saints go Wilde! that did that?

It's called summertime with no football on. It makes you desperate for something football related to mention.

They are much more thorough at identifying their targets i'll give them that. While other teams are spending £60million to replace a player they spent £50million on two seasons ago, Liverpool spend £70million on the right player and have him for 5+ years.

Oh is she not actually a blood relative? I just remember seeing the articles and wanting to tear my eyes out.

I thought maybe he had one for every prem team or something, but nope. Look at the players he's got up there alongside it ffs!

It's a shame really when you see the news article from a while back about what a young female relation of his is actually up to. Shameful.

For the love of god, don't put it on a white background. Just use the logo, with a thin black outline to make it stand out if needs be.

See Liverpool are scraping in the bargain bin once again with their £109million bid for Wirtz. I love the narrative their fans (and Klopp for some reason) comes out with that they don't spend huge amounts.

Never before has "I know who wears the trousers in that relationship" had so many different interpretations.

What's wrong with him is his surname reminds me of an ugly bloke called Nigel that came from Pompey and helped Harry get us relegated.

I think something that's missed in the fans not warming to Puel is his treatment of Fonte in that last season. No doubt in my mind that if he'd been starting every game, domestic and europe, as he wanted to be that he would have stayed.

Aldeweireld. Him and Van Dijk never played together, though.

Agreed, but the fact he did well last season probably means he'll attract a Prem club. Burnley or Leeds would love a player like him.

You forgot Fonte? Shame on you.

Everything he does Onuachu does better anyway. I find the ostracization of him utterly bizarre, especially if we aren't planning on replacing him and are instead just going to use an inferior, more injury prone version of him.

No guarantee they'll turn the slide around at all. Just over 10 years ago they were non-league.

Yeah I'm not writing him off but whoscored I find to be pretty spot on with their assessments of players. Some work to do there then.

Hmm...

Reading through the thread seems like the consensus is we don't want Saudi money anywhere near our club, which I'm pleasantly surprised at. Hopefully it doesn't happen. *Edit - pleasantly surprised, not presently 🤦🏼‍♂️

Have a beer on me. The bartender knows to give it to you.

I'm genuinely tempted to reword the email slightly and send it to the club FAO the first team.

Absolutely. Results don't matter mentality. Far cry from the culture Cortese and Adkins ingrained in the club.

Edited with how I would trim it down. Note that I don't think we'll sell Stephens (unfortunately), and Fernandes is likely to go, but hey ho. Looking at that though it doesn't leave much room for additions. A new keeper, a new CM and AM and maybe another winger who can play either side.

@Crab Lungs @Matthew Le God cheers gents.

Another one of Russells mates that should never have been signed/kept on. Last summer should have seen us replacing Fraser, Smallbone, Downes and Stephens and yet they were all kept on.
