GOD HOW HE WISHES HE WAS READY

I'm looking forward to seeing how Musa and Kapustka get on at Leicester.

Have Hull literally bought nobody? Livermore at CB vs Musa and Vardy will be interesting.

Yeah but

but thudd....

Imagine being in that Hull squad and not getting a game.

is navix no longer showing streams?

I can feel my excitement ebbing with every minute of this match.

bit of a premature answer to the thread title

Phelan good

Thudd making an impact already.

Vardy's having a shocker. On the basis of today Arsenal must be relieved they signed those other strikers instead of him.

yeah i havent noticed him at all

i love tigers pls

Hope he sends Fergie out to face the media afterwards.

haha
synchronised double bicycle kick wonderful way to start the season too

Lukaku isnt on the Everton team

Cracking start to Wanyama's Spurs career there.

Hiya

Lol

I just caught the score what stupid cunt did what now

Not sure what wanyama is "for" btw

Can we talk about the successful Kevin De Bruyne cloning experiment at the Stadium of Light?

daniel levy will be stroking his white cat with interest after kenny mcevoy, moussa dembele ii, kyle walker-peters, and caulker-vickers

farewell, lynden gooch

Amazed there are empty seats there fwiw.

Watmore? I like him

"The deal is close and he will go with my best wishes. It's fair to say we know his heart and soul may be elsewhere," said Pardew of Bolasie's prospective move.

typical graceless prick. he's in for a shock if he thinks they only need a striker

Should have trotted out the 'Bolasie come home' line beloved of SE London fantasy league managers everywhere.

Mourinho looking good again. The slow descent to tracksuit and stubble starts here.

<3 Moreno

thats a perfect free kick

oh my, that finish

Shit we look pretty good here

Wenger deserves every pissy hashtag rant he gets for even being in the situation where he's had to play this XI in the first place.

Oh I say.

WTF is happening here?

the PL is back baby

love these wacky end of season games

Arsenal TV should be fun

It would be insanely typical of Coutinho to put in a performance like that and then knacker himself for months.

Hockey score.

second 10/10 freekick of the game there

Can we have a defender or two please

Coutinho isn't often injured

Again I join the conversation to say

Lol

Just thinking of his general flakiness rather than his injury record per se.

shhh, you're not supposed to say that

peak epl panto shambles

am deadly srs when i say i genuinely would not swap either defensive unit today for qpr's

well why would getting injured have anything to do with flakiness? he scored two goals.

doesn't like it up him

i was over-optimistic about lpool though. can say karius matip sakho anyone-but-moreno will come in but where's the evidence klopp takes it seriously

o man, his wife is pregnant and due this week. so awful.

Puel out. Silva must be stabbing holes in his Watford contract in frustration.

Southampton have finally got tired of Liverpool using them as unofficial feeder club.

au revoir gigantic monkey hands man

how is 8th a bad season for southampton?

bro told me at the end of last season that the players didn't like him

i imagine shane long leading a revolt

Also the fans seem to hate the football they've been playing under him.

la de daa

sounds like some fans need a relegation

Southampton have finally got tired of Liverpool using them as unofficial feeder club.

How do you think I feel, Celtic are Southampton's unoffficial feeder club.

they'll get 10 per cent of the 600 million liverpool end up paying for van dijk i think

Discussing his situation, Nolito revealed he has struggled to learn English during his one year at the Etihad Stadium and claimed his daughter’s face was a different colour now than it was when he arrived due to the cold conditions in the country.

“I have learnt very, very little English – it’s very hard. Just ‘tomorrow’, ‘good morning’, ‘good afternoon’ and a little more,” he told Onda Cero. “My daughter’s face has changed colour – it looks like she’s been living in a cave.”

Very encouraging words from Toby.

lol

Really bad situation, I dunno if the hype about VVD is merited but he seems better than taking a punt on whoever the fuck else we have lined up. Assume Liverpool had to make that statement to avoid getting formally reported or something.

This is both deeply disappointing and massively embarrassing. Was gonna be the nice bit of good news that got me through the inevitable disappointment of the next couple of days. Wake me up when it's August

I read earlier that Southampton are still formally reporting them.

Jesus. Feels like such a "liverpool" thing to happen tbh

Oh look for the first time in premier league history a player has chosen Liverpool over Chelsea or Man City, well guess what

otm -- i thought it was a good, if expensive, "get" but at least it was a "get"

Diego #Costa after Spain-Colombia: "Conte has sent me a message to tell me I am not in his plans for #Chelsea"

— Kieran Canning (@KieranCanning) June 7, 2017

That is completely embarrassing. VvD wanted to go to Liverpool, too, liking Klopp and all, I gather from Dutch media. What a way to blow it.

it's so fucking stupid

I don't suppose there's any hope they'll just wait a month and sign him? #denial

Ederson to City.

Think £35m makes him the world's most expensive goalkeeper

is there a transfer thread?

hearing that lpool put in an offer for mbappe, which is a little, uh, ambitious but sure why not

Because west ham ridiculed for their ridiculous antics last summer is why not, lfc are better than this mug acting. I'd be annoyed is spurs were aiming at that level of signing, it's tough enough to get in and out quickly and safely with a couple of cl-level players in a window without wasting time and energy and goodwill and everything else on this tomfoolery

Salah deal for lfc is looking unlikely so they're interested in this gelson martins kid now

Sending out group texts at this stage ffs

What title for a transfer window thread so

Salah deal for lfc is looking unlikely so they're interested in this gelson martins kid now

i read the opposite this morning, that martins was a ruse and they're back in for salah. i read they'd bid for mbappe about a month ago, then withdrawn after a way way higher bid came in from madrid.

I know we're into silly season + mad inflation territory right now but you have to question the methodology when Eric Dier is valued at nearly £75m.

Well Utd are about to pay £60m for a second choice striker who's scored 85 career goals

(actually think he could be a great signing though)

I dunno

If we sold Dier to any of the likely bidders (either Manchester club really) for any less it would seem pointless. English, gives them that in their squad in a player worth having, young, couple of positions, we don't need to sell and are in a position where we're probably much more focused on consolidation.

The 4bn pot has kicked things on again also, so the above spurs special conditions are exacerbated by the overall madness

Like, and I think I've said this, but the market as it is makes me look at the quoted prices for walker, rose, ah the fuckin lot, and it feels like pre crash Dublin 6 where the only sensible option is to sell sell sell, pay off all debts, promote from youth, stay in the division and buy em all back including bale, modric and thudd for a combined 30m when the footballing world ends in 2019

What title for a transfer window thread so

[$PLAYER] isn't going to Liverpool: transfer window 2017 etc

Something about text messages what with Conte, klopp

we already had a great suggestion somewhere upthread

Pulis: "We've got bucketfuls of agents throwing players at us. We'll trawl through it."

liverpool sign salah, it seems. looks a decent signing.

cautiously optimistic

finally means carroll is not our record signing too

Salah has been wonderful for Roma. It's a great signing.

Good signing

will be hard to defend the title in 2019 when both salah and mane are on international duty mid-season

we'll have pulisic by then

Spurs relegated according to my quick run through fixtures tbh so top four should be wide open for ye

i am the black-gold heung-min son (4 hero remix)
