Transfer Rumours The Great Summer Splurge Transfer Window

We don't know what's gone on. It could be as simple as he told Howe he wants out, who begrudgingly accepts but says we need a replacement. We believe 100% we're getting Pedro, we don't, we then go for Sesko, it fails, so with our famously limited scouting there's nobody else we're looking at so Howe now needs to try and say to Isak "look, you're here, we can't replace so you need to stay". Isak, like it or not, feels let down and angry so reacts.

 

Either replace or keep... There's a win in both I guess.

The perfect position.

 

We just got it all bizarrely and stupidly wrong, from the players we went for and who we tried to compete with to believing we were big enough for a player of Isak's arrogance. The leadership (or lack of) this Summer has been as bad as I've ever seen, purely because of the stupidity and/or ignorance of where we are in the lifecycle.

 

We don't, but there is some bigger at play with this one.

 

He was tapped up months ago.

 

Looks like we should have let pool have him and took Ekitike.

Unfortunately here we are... The acceptance of fate stage.

Oh well.

 

Seriously we're simply looking for something to blame... The entire sport is the answer once you go down this route

 

Might as well let him go for £70m if that's the case.

 

We'd have Ekitike and money.

Liverpool tried to be nice, but we took it badly.

BTW Ekitike is absolutely top quality.

 

Sure it is, but it's clearly become a joke.

 

I've been saying it for years, but it's a bit like politics.. Everyone pointing fingers and arguing over the wrong things.

Everything stems from psr down... Seeded draws and legacy club culture... It's created this vile product.

 

Bring back football from the late 80's up until the late 90's.
Proper ****ing football before money destroyed it.

 

Which part?

 

When football wasn't rigged with financial rules and when any club was as vulnerable as any other.

 

The Premier League was enjoyable in the 90's.

 

.....being nice bit,they tapped him up months ago,tried to get him on the cheap and they never made an official approach till Isak started acting up,doesn't take a genius to see what went on.

 

Basically TV money came in and a few clubs won the big hands, especially when the foreign TV markets started flowing in. Not long after the clubs that won that market needed to make sure they didn't lose it, so they pretended the proposed rules were about something else and voted in FFP.

Fast forward a few years and you've got this big 6 legacy club culture that millions of fans all over the world only know and argue for.

 

Globalisation of football was always going to be a bad thing.
Good news is that the facade is starting to slip.

 

Yeah when you're paying someone £100k+ a week, there won't be the loophole for them to say "wah wah I don't like it here I'm not gonna play".
