This board is so trash, we could've got him for peanuts and sell him at 60 in 3 years or convince him otherwise, pathetic.

Guy wanted to start. They sold Alcacer to accommodate him.

And he would've started, he is head and shoulder above Tammy Lebranny every single day of the week.

There is no hindsight any retard would've done it, he was only 23 mil, up and coming, only the board apparently were to dumb to think about it.

Any retard bar literally every top club in Europe that didn't want him 

Dortmund are a stepping stone for him. Fact of the matter is he was/and still is a risk. We need proven quality.

Most didn't want that clause in his contract, but we're hardly someone to cherrypick, we ended up with no one.

Because we already have too much 'potential'. We need proven quality in the team. Piatek started off brilliantly at Milan and now look at him.

Haarland is quality....good manu didnt get him. Werner too is quality.

[Laylabelle 9,298]

And its 2-0. Blah bloody blah

Cavani would have been head and shoulders above Tammy. That doesn't mean Lampard would have dropped the latter.

Lampard of course no, but a normal coach would.

Why are you guys watching Liverpool over Madrid derby?

[Special Juan 27,103]

Southampton have been brilliant, 3-0 down 

[NikkiCFC 7,587]

Bruno starting for Utd.

yes, I said if they win out they will look back in raging anger at that Manure draw

only 4 major European teams have ever win every game (minimum more than 10 league games played)

 Rangers of Scotland in 1898-99

 Ferencvárosi of Hungary in 1931-32

 Dresdner SC of Germany in 1942-43

and then the big one

4 STRAIGHT seasons winning every league game, no draws

Sparta Praha of Czechoslovakia 1920-24

 

[Vesper 27,329]

crushing them now

just wow

[Laylabelle 9,298]

It's weird to think of the players that we were linked with or rumoured with that play for them...and how some of the price were seen as crazy and yet...its paid off.

Do you put Lautaro in the proven quality category?

If not, who DO you put in there who could actually come here?

Werner is not coming here. That is a pipe dream. Same for Mbappe.

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

Form team apart from the top two and dark horses to get fourth are Everton. As it stands only a point behind Man United and Spurs.

No I wouldn't risk Lautaro. 

There is always a chance with Werner. Until it specifically comes out of his mouth he prefers Liverpool, there is a chance. The only reports about him and Liverpool contradict each other. One saying it's his preferred destination and another stating he denied wanting to go there because he wouldn't start.

Also reported Liverpool made a move for Havertz. Fairly certain Klopp will want to form him into another Firmino.
