The discourse around the Kane transfer in the last 24 hours has been some of the most embarrassing horse shit I’ve ever had the displeasure of having to ingest and I’ve ingested fucking plenty I can tell you.
He’s staying!!! they screamed from the rooftops but no mention of him extending, as if the club would stand over that and burn the transfer fee allowing him to walk for nothing in 12 months. Made zero sense yet they fucking spewed it from everywhere and patted themselves on the back for a job well done.
He’s right to turn down Bayern and stay to break the premier league scoring record, that’s the bigger achievement and will be remembered longer than wining any trophies.
Holy fucking shit did I dream that? That’s got to be a piss take right? Nah that’s the hot take from spit the scouse, his buddy the champagne socialist shill, who spent 2 years championing the rights of migrant workers in Qatar before thinking better of it and fucking off to trouser the mega cash of their state tv station beIN sports instead and last but not least that great bastion of footballing knowledge Michel fucking Owen.
My blood pressure is through the roof already this morning as I’ve seen another clip of rat face bigging up Maguire and McTominay as brilliant signings for West Ham and urging Moyes to get them done. He’s a fucking rat, always pimping the United angle, using his influence and position in the media to push their agenda.
He's a cúnt, always has been and always will be. Hypocritical little cúnt always going on about Man City's money and whinging that it's all unfair but then sitting there mouthing off about how the Qatari government should buy Manure. Gobbing off the whole time about pumping money into clubs but never questioned on how he's done the same with Salford FC. Everyone's had enough of him and spit the illiterate scouse cúnt. Nobody wants to see those two fucking cúnts shouting their fucking mouths off every week. Everybody hates Sky Sports football coverage and everybody hates them. The sooner they lose the rights to broadcast the Premier League, the fucking better.

Why the scum would want him to stay is beyond me - they aint getting champs league regardless, so unless he signs a new deal (HIGHLY unlikely) then he is out of there on a free next summer and probably to another english club. This way they get 100m and have a chance to bring in a striker to replace him - I know the argument is what strikers are out there available, but my comeback would be if you think it is hard to bring in a quality replacement with 100m sitting in your pocket, try bringing one in without the 100m

They have a net spend of 160m already with no European let alone CL football, maybe the money has been spent already?
Replacing 20 plus PL goals a season will not be easy.....30 last year in a totally shit team was tbf some going.
Either way hope it gets done sick of that window licker slapping in pen's every NLD.....
| Arsenal have agreed to pay an initial fee of £3m to take Raya on loan, with the option for a permanent transfer worth £27m. Raya underwent a medical with Arsenal on Thursday. #afc
Understand David Raya completed main part of medical tests as Arsenal player and he’s set to sign shortly
Raya will already agree with Arsenal on long term deal until 2028 anticipating a permanent move despite deal being loan with buy option clause for FFP reasons.
This Raya signing is just bewildering, Arteat & Edu knew that Turner wasn't up to it should Ramsdale either get a long term injury or have seriously Bad dip in form. But Raya; from what I saw last season & before is a Very Good GK and not really 2nd/back-up keeper material - So by taking him on loan are they covering all bets in that:
Ramsdale improves because he is properly challenged for top spot - Turned couldn't do that
Raya ousts Ramsdale from the no 1 spot and so they sign him permanently at the end of the season
Their plan to have two GK's who are equal doesn't pan out so they can send him back to Brighton
? fuck knows ?
Hopefully now they can put the money they had originally intended to spend on his permanent signing towards a larger wedge of moolah for a proper striker.
No doubt the people who said we overpaid on Rice, will be hailing Liverpool's ambition at agreeing a £111m price for one season wonder Caicedo - mind you one's British and the other's foreign. Thought it was only English/British players that were vastly overpriced. Well how many people had heard of:
Edson Alvarez
Micky van den Ven
Josko Gvardiol
Axel Disasi
Lesley Ugochukwu
Well those wonderboys have all been sold in the past week for the combined fee of £208m - bargain eh! Here's the thing - they'll all be shit and disappear in a year or two for fuck all
We started on 60m and walked away at 70 for Caicedo last January and I thought that was bat shit.
Spending 110m on a guy who was a complete unknown 12 months ago is a massive panic buy by the victims. It’s like they’ve felt the pressure of being 24 hours out from the first game of the season and completely soiled their undies.
Caicedo had a good season but there’s a huge amount of media hype around him that has overinflated his transfer fee massively.
Imagine if was english and had just captained his club to some european pub league success - surely cost at least 105m then ?
i think he is the signing of the summer. I wish we had focused on him rather than Rice. It reminds me of when we chose to go for Clive instead of Kante at a similar price point. A top-drawer defensive midfielder is what we have needed since the Invincibles. We seem to have an allergy to them.
Agree with this Bob. Mystifies me how we were prepared to 85m for Caicedo in January, but didn't appear to show any interest once this transfer window opened. Haven't seen much of the guy, but I've said on here before that from what I have seen, he's going to be the real deal. Wish we'd got him.
Fuck Caicedo, before he even looked like moving he was talking about his dream to play for Real Madrid. He'll be kicking off in a years time wanting to go again. Trouble.

Potentially a great player, but he does pick up an awful lot of yellow cards, with th e new rules in place, probably even more this season.
On a positive note it leaves the door open for us to get Lavia, for a “mere £40m”
Not at Liverpool he won't Stuart. He could commit GBH in a Liverpool shirt and only get a stern look from the ref. The stuff Fabinho got away with week in week out was outrageous.
Told Moises Caicedo having second thoughts about Liverpool move. Player & representatives still in London. No official word Chelsea have returned. #LFC #CFC #BHAFC
So Chelsea ARE ready to match Liverpool's offer for Moises Caicedo and they may also be able to give him a better wages package... it already feels like the twist in this transfer has happened #LFC #CFC

Well SteveO, we'll soon know who got the better player and therefore the better deal. One's got to step up and prove he's more than an average to good player who was a biggish fish in a very small pond and the other has to prove that he will fulfill the hype and expectation.
I'd have gone for Caicedo, because I've seen enough of Rice to have limited expectations, but if he does end up at the scousers, then I hope he implodes.
Juventus have approached Thomas Partey’s camp with new talks after the sale of Denis Zakaria to AS Monaco.
