You know it will just be ‘Kubo, kubo, Kubo’ over and over

Will have to agree to disagree on that one. I think we’ll have a stronger squad this season than last season and we’ll have done it without selling a star player. If this transpires when was the last time we legitimately did that? Probably have to go back to Carlo’s summer window.

Really? Ancelotti gone. Benitez hired. James, Bernard, Walcott, Kean out the door Gray, Townsend, Rondon in for a combined 1.5 mill. Loads of stories about how we’ve got a PSR problem looming and no money to buy any players for a number of windows and probably looking at further sales...

More likely it’s down to simply the attractiveness of the proposition. We want good players, most good players don’t want to come to us. We have no European football, we can’t pay mega wages, we don’t win anything, we’re an irrelevance to anyone of football playing age now. So we either buy...

Theyve also sold their best players though. Not sure anyone would have been happy with anyone we brought in if we started the window by selling Branthwaite Pickford and Ndiaye.

We got told we ruined the transfer window for paying 35 mill for Richarlison who became Brazil’s number 9 whilst playing for us, spent 4 seasons with us and we sold him for nearly double. They whizz 90 mill up the wall on donkey Nunez and it’s good recruitment apparently. Would be absolutely...

Lindelof is at Wolfsburg, but also I actually thought he would have been a decent player on a free and much better than keeping Keane.

They whazzed away 100s of millions under Hicks and Gillet that they didn’t have and when the banks came calling for it rather than being wound up like they should have been, they just got all their mates to cry in the media for weeks on end and got a load of friendly judges to effectively...

Is there anyone Liverpool won’t buy this summer. The irony of them calling Newcastle an oil club whilst they throw money round like it’s going out of fashion.

I wonder if Moyes sees Ndiaye as someone who can play any of the three positions behind the striker. He might be looking at 5 players for the three positions. Ndiaye Alcaraz McNeil Mcatee Kubo. Then picking any 3 from the 5 with Ndiaye Mcatee Kubo probably the first choice. That could even leave...

Anything but winning it is a failure for them given how much they’ve spent. They’ve gone all out to buy it. Chequebook fc. Anything less is failure for them after the money they’ve thrown around.

The point isn’t ’let’s do what we did in 04’. The point is that often you don’t know how effective a window is or isn’t until you see the results of the season that follows. If we got a couple more in, kept all our players fit and had an absolute baller season then no one would care that we...

Allowing neg rep back on here for a contained period might help quell a lot of the transfer rage. A GOT hunger games essentially.

We only know that in retrospect though. In 04 we’d just finished 17th on 39 points, sold our best player for 27 mill, sold our second best attacking option, and replaced both of them with two players from the championship for absolute pittance. It only looks like a decent summer afterwards...

Probably true But there’s also been times over the last few seasons where if you’d said to me Everton could put out: Pickford OBrien Tarkwoski Branthwaite Mykolenko Garner Gueye Alcaraz McNeil Barry Ndiaye and be managed by David Moyes Then I’d have empire bank account so I’m not...
