This seems like a sound plan to get us competing... sometime within the next decade.

To be fair he looked a like he had one foot in the grave today. Even taking into account the Linda factor.

*Sees "56 new posts" at the bottom and of the thread* *Thinks 'something must have happened'* Nope.

Would much rather pivot the strategy to being the dudes who get these players for 4m rather than paying 25 times as much for them after one season in the league.

Student nurses? Finally we’re getting somewhere in this hellscape of a thread.

sorry I was using you as the vessel.

Now why oh why would we do that and let them get the player for £20-odd million less? Even if he says no, you stay in. Fuck moving over for that American cunt.

I think Moo was talking about being cock a hoop over the prospect of it being a sure thing.

Might be because that Italian fella people seem to have a high opinion of said "personal terms a formality, medical Friday"

Not as good as it is as of August 11

Can’t believe there are people going out of their way to put a negative spin on this. oh we’ll sell him in a few years… oh why have we waited this long? oh why didn’t we just get Bellingham then? It’s a sickness.

Hats off to Det. Ibiza Jorg for getting this done. Always rated him. Plus this makes me look smart for a change by reining in the hysterical fannies on the pod.

My guess is it’s all for appearances. Funny that it’s only coming at a stage when Chelsea are seemingly trying to swipe Lavia. My guess is FSG sees two possible benefits: the illusion they tried to land the big fish and them and Chelsea agree not to outbid each other for their reality targets.

Why are you so concerned about the club saving wages when the club aren't spending the money they save anyway? Might as well just keep the player we have.

And that's just the after party at his gaff in Ibiza.

That whole Brighton selling to the highest bidder thing? Yeah that could be problematic.

Crazy that people view the world in this myopic fashion.

Fair. I just think the level of consistency we can expect from him makes that a bit moot.

This dude trades 100% in 'hope traffic', so it's not surprising he's saying that. He's not going to come out and say "Liverpool are doing fuck all in the next three weeks" because he's relying on all that engagement for endlessly linking us with players. Sometimes one or two might come off. For him, it doesn't matter, as long as he gets the odd one right.

Lads, it's really this simple...

OOOOOOH FRIEEEEEEEEEEND. SPORTSWASHING FRIEND.

What are they smoking at Fenway Park?

I teach it.

well it’s a good thing we’re allowed to have opinions, eh, as there’d be no point having a podcast.
