Klopp shafting my fantasy team good and proper here, with Mané as my captain. He will be on just long enough to get a pointless booking and earn me zero points.

There are spaces in that Liverpool back line and no doubt we’ll be watching for next weekend but honestly this is just a turkey shoot for them. This. If giving it a bash means Mings and Targett, I’m not all that convinced.

Liverpool fans seem to be celebrating those goals okay, no sign of any five minute VAR checks. I know it’s Anfield but Norwich look dodgy AF, far too open for a game like this.

If you do a loan with an option to buy you risk doing a Toby. If you sign someone outright you risk getting a MOI. There's no perfect solution, it just highlights the need to get your scouting right.

Nah, just patchy showers. If you're curious, I find this website very handy https://www.netweather.tv/live-weather/radar

Might have expected Hoj or JWP to get that 8 shirt, I guess everyone was pretty much okay with what they've got. No point giving Barnes a number, I doubt he'll be here come the end of the month anyway.

Just keep bumping it, we're never more than two days from a game these days anyway. No point in having stickies if your're just going to have 6-7 all the time. I'll rename it anyway.

Going back to the Rednex tune.... We've got the only Kevin Danso Couldn't afford Upamecano Where did you come from Where did you go Where did you come from Kevin Danso

I'd have thought that was an agreed price we can buy him for, if Saints and Danso agree terms. I'd be amazed if they've agreed to a clause that nobody else can buy him, even if we don't. Anyway, it's all ifs, buts and maybes. We wont know until next summer I guess.

The problem is that's meaningless, if you think about it. If there are offers from other parties, they would just refuse anything we offer below that. I would imagine we've got an agreed price as we did with Toby, although that's obviously still reliant on Denso signing a contract.

I can't see us playing 4-2-2-2, we just don't have the personnel. For me: Gunn Bednarek Denso Yoshida Valery Romeu Hojbjerg Bertrand Redmond Adams Ings Subs: McC Vest Cedric JWP Djenepo Slattery Obafemi

Yeah, if he agrees to sign a contract, which he obviously wont if he has a better offer.

I'd say 8/10 Getting rid of Austin, Clasie, Targett and Gallagher permanently is a reasonable start and I don't think we could have hoped for much better. Happy with the players we've brought in, even if I've seen very little of them before.

Obviously that option means Jack S**t if someone else comes in for him but if he turns out half as good as Toby was for a season, then leaves, I'll take that.

Rubber dingy rapids, bro!

Technically, they still haven't announced that Safri is leaving.

Giving the beer a miss, the machine at the gym reckons I’ve gained 1.5kg of fat recently

Sat refreshing twitter and I noticed Carroll was trending. If that does sum Newcastle's summer up I don't know what does. Still, he will at least manage to get fit for both games against us and score at least one goal, five minutes after he should have been sent off for elbowing one of our defenders. I'll get you some crayons.

I just wanna Danso night away With senoritas who can sway.

Speak for yourself. I'm not sure how he gets this natural goalscorer tag on the back of 16 goals in 3.5 years. Good luck to him in the Championship, if he stays reasonably fit he should be able to get double figures this season. Overall I'm just glad he is (mostly) off the wage bill.

There will almost certainly be some sort of payoff to cover the difference in wages over the rest of his Saints contract.

I don’t know what the laws are either but it’s worth pointing out you aren’t in a public space, you’re on private property.

Put me in the 'no' camp for Morgan and Vic. Both were good in their time here but that time has past. Now they're just expensive has-beens.

No, his biggest crime is being perennially unfit and jogging around the pitch like a Sunday League striker. Which game was it when he touched the ball 8 times? Possibly Fulham away. Acting like a melon on social media is just a sideshow. If he was performing every week I couldn't care less if he spent his free time out dogging with Lovren and Westwood but he isn't. It rubs fans up the wrong way and probably a few within the club as well.
