It was FSG reverse psychology. If we'd have finished 5th, we'd have been lining up with Mbappe and Sancho, but because we finished 3rd they were taken off the table.

We can't really bank on Gomez and Matip remaining fit, so this is actually a common sense move.

Look, man, signings just ain't for us.

We're keeping our powder dry for a big summer.

Since winning the CL (according to this list), we have a net spend of £20m more than the ronaldos U18's. Go reds.

As it's on the echo site and they've put a quote in the article, I'd guess it's probably a case of the "inside source told us..."

Seems like a divide and conquer approach to rile up both sides of the fsg debate, to keep us fighting amongst ourselves and leave the focus away from the ownership.

Renato Sanches off to wolves on loan, so looking like the ronaldos will pick up neves.

The no value in January thread, I think you mean.

Us having someone in charge of transfers, is like me having someone to manage all the supermodels I bang.

Way too much standing around for 10 mins followed by 30 seconds attempting to speed it up.

To be fair, if we'd signed Messi, I doubt many of us would have criticised the move for being short term. You get the chance to sign of the 2 or 3 goats, then you do it.

I don't think we'll score anywhere near enough goals to get us to 90 pts. Added on to significant improvement from other teams, and I think we'll be somewhere between 75-85 pts (lower and upper ends)

I don't think we're getting 90 pts either, so unless city are dropping back then we're in a 3 way fight for 2nd.

I've always been a Kenny Huang kinda guy.

I know that. I just thought it was an interesting development. Probably trended a few times before, but I haven't see it.

Wasn't that because Henderson refused to go the other way? Crazy times...

FSGOUT trending on twitter. First time I've seen that.

' I look forward to seeing the Henderson shuffle to hold principles above his head!

Next, next, summer it is then.

Good to see this thread has reached a mix of bargaining and acceptance.

If Madrid are prepared to spunk nearly 200m on a dude with a year left n his contract, and PSG come to us with something similar for a 30 year old, then I have no idea how the club would react to that offer. We're one of the 4 decent/good/great teams in this league, so CL qualification is pretty much sorted by default. Do I think it will happen? No. Is it possible that under the right circumstances that it could? Absolutely.

Have to admit, Mbappe going to Madrid and PSG replacing him with Salah would be hilarious, if for no other reason than JW's latest fireside chat vid.

Of course I now see the obvious flaw in this. All capitalism is predatory. Apologies.

I always assumed it was a social commentary on the west London oligarch set, destroying the social contract with their predatory capitalism.
