How dare you criticise his transfer @Dr. Gonzo, @Rick, @LFCMadLad, @LFCMike and everyone else.

Aw diddums. Not a single person believes players when they say “I didn’t come for the money”. 

Yet again, they will release non controversial, straightforward incidents like they did last time. Pointless viewing. 
 

For being head of refereeing, Webb has been silent through all these terrible decisions we have had already. 

Utd & women beaters

Finished season 2 of The Bear. It’s perfect.

I heard good things about it, worth watching then?

 Absolutely. The episode I just finished in season 2 is already up there as one of the best episodes of any show I’ve ever watched. 

The Bear. Everybody should be watching this show. 

Do we think a CB is on the horizon for tomorrow? I very much doubt it, but the back four needs some more quality added into it. They’ve regressed as a unit, even when the midfield is working like mad for them. 

Virgil charged with improper conduct for his behaviour after the card. So there’s an extra two games added to his suspension. 
 

I was very disappointed with his reaction. He came through Isak to get the ball, he knows it’s a foul. Now we will likely be struggling even more than we already were at the back because he had no self control. 

Arsenal please

Basically what Liverpool did under Edwards. Van Dijk, Alisson, Mane etc. 

You overall happy with our business since he left?

Talk here in Brazil is that Fluminense turned down a 30 million euros for André. It makes sense since Fluminense is at Copa Libertadores quarter-finals. André´s gonna leave Fluminense soon, but probably in January, after the brazilian season is over. 

IMO Liverpool should try to make that offer to Corinthians for Gabriel Moscardo. Insane talent. Only 17 years old and a starter in a big club.  I think he´s going to be the best brazilian 6 of his generation. Corinthians being completely broke up is also a factor. They will definitely sell him for the right offer.

Under Michael Edwards we’d probably be seriously looking at a player like that. Under this new regime, we’ll sit by and watch somebody else sign our targets, then buy from them a season later at five times the original price. We let Wolves sign Nunes & Fulham sign Palinha, both players we seriously liked. Then we ended up with a complete dosser in Arthur. 
 

The lack of movement this week has been concerning. It’s like they have no idea who they are going to bring in now they fucked the main targets.

I'm saying its a moot argument. If people want to think Newcastle/Chelsea are in some shady business with Hall, then United and Arsenal need to be investigated too for overspending on players and helping Chelsea out with FFP. 

He's been poor for almost 2 years now and is heading towards a similar trajectory as Oscar. Jack of all trades, master of none.  Even under Tuchel he stagnated. 

Not calling you out, but its quite honestly amazing how all of a sudden neutrals rate Mount when these same neutrals were pulling their hair out seeing Mount start at the Euros and Word Cup. 

 

Oh I don’t really rate Mount that much haha, I never have really. I think I’m more arguing that last season he didn’t get a fair crack of the whip when you were doing really shit. We’ll soon see what he’s going to do at Utd.

Bit harsh to say Mount is washed. Didn’t get a chance under Potter or Lampard last year when they were in the shit, which was a completely bizarre decision by both managers. If he wasn’t bothering in training you could understand a bit, but he doesn’t seem like the type. More a case of Potter and Lampard having no idea what they were doing with that team. 

We’ve made a bid for some 30 year old Japanese bloke from Stuttgart. 

We completely squandered our time with Klopp and that team that won the league. How many times have we been a point or two off city at the end of the season? Lost two champions league finals to Madrid. I’m certain we would have won more if Klopp had been properly backed like other managers at the top clubs. 

Caicedo & Lavia both expected to join Chelsea. What a complete and utter fuck up by the club, it’s embarrassing.
 

Fully expecting somebody to try and make out that it’s all part of some master plan. Bollocks. Unless that plan is to miss out on our main midfield target and balls up trying to bid for another then it’s been nothing short of a pathetic week for Liverpool football club. 
 

Obviously, there is still quality around, but everybody knows we have 100m we can spend, so everybody is going to be 20%+ more expensive than they were a week back. But we will have to pay it, we NEED a midfielder and we NEED a centre back. That defensive display yesterday was terrible, the same terrible that we have seen week in week out for a year. It’s unacceptable. 

City have won 5 from the last 6. If you do t think they can go on to do the exact same in the next few years you are smoking strong stuff. 

The snobbery towards the Bundesliga only shows that those people don’t watch the fucking thing. their title race was much better than the one over here. 

I don’t mind our third, way better than the away kit. 

Just now, Dr. Gonzo said:

I think he let the pundits get to his head with their insistence that an individual record is more important than actually winning titles.

I think this too. Now he’s actually weighing things up, he’s realising that having a happy settled family and being a club legend isn’t so easy to walk away from. 
 

That being said, it’s very poor to let Bayern go through all this negotiating to then reject them. But I don’t like Bayern either, so…..lol.

watching Tottenham fuck themselves over is going to be beautiful, especially when he fucks off to Chelsea and Man U on a free and absolutely rips spurs a new one.

Don’t see that happening, I think he signs a new 5 year deal now. 

Did Leicester sneak into the Wolves kit room? 
 

I’m a fan of more subtle kits in general, but some of the offerings this year are unimaginative af. 

Admittedly, I’m judging Amrabat from his World Cup performance (the worst thing to do I’m aware) but since you watch your Serie A, I’ll trust you judgement on him. 
 

Getting both lads plus a CB would help my blood pressure level going into the new season.

Second vid for Lavia rejected. Apparently we are going to explore a move for some young lad from Brazil. 
 

We were looking at Lavia when Fabinho was still here, so I’m hoping that there is somebody with a bit more experience coming in as well. Cause we cannot lose Henderson & Fabinho and replace them with just one 18 year old. Amrabat would be a good option, but he’s all but signed for Utd.

Tbh I'd have given it to Robertson over Virgil or Trent because I think they can be a bit sulky when things aren't going their way and I'm not sure that's the best example to set as a captain. But Trent's always going to know what the club means from a fans perspective and will take it seriously and Virgil's respected and has leadership qualities and experience that probably make him the best man for the job.

And I trust that Klopp knows better than I do.

That was a long way to go to agree with me
