    Joelinton's in. And the sun is right in Bruce's eyes.

    His stats are Firmino level pre-Liverpool (I was gonna write Pre-Klopp but one of my favourite facts is that Sir Brendan bought him) so I wonder if he’ll be a similar “pressing forward.”

    Aye, we've seemingly replaced a 10 goal a season guy with another. I'm still pissed off they opted to spend the money here and now rather than secure Rafa and give him the money to do as he wished. He could've brought in 2-3 players for £40m.

    Seems to me like Newcastle are just spending money they have recouped. You'd imagine Rafa would have wanted additional funds.

    There's absolutely zero point having a forward like that in a Steve Bruce side. Their defenders could just pass it left and right as your wingers would be dawdling about by their own penalty area.

    Trezeguet done for us.

    Well it makes sense they wanna tie one of their main supposed talents down when there's been interest from Bayern and they have their Transfer ban thing going on.

    I don't understand why, given how long this has gone on, La Liga is just now saying what they could do.

    Why wouldn't they already have the facts of the situation and be ready to make a judgment? I mean this shit has dragged on for months.

    I know there's a fair bit of Barca hate generally, but it's the moronic mandatory release clause system that's at fault here rather than them.

    Different eras so you can't really suggest anything of the sort. It's been thirteen years since Zidane retired which I think is pretty much the same season Bale made his debut. 2006?

    In that time Bale has scored more goals despite playing less, won more trophies, won four Champions League titles (I give the players more credit than the manager, ZZ being like Di Matteo than a Rafa 2005) and one of the biggest, for me personally, he led Wales to the Euro semi finals, a nation of 3M or so in our first tournament in 50 plus years. Zidane may have won World Cup and Euros but he did so as part of a golden generation for France, not a team made up of championship no hopers, Ashley Williams and an unsigned player.

    Not that I dispute Zidane wasnt good but I think many of the big players in the 90's are remembered more fondly than they should be.

    I'm of opinion a huge majority would struggle in today's game anyway.

    Zidane is levels above Bale.

    Bale isn't even the next best after Messi and Ronaldo of the current top generation. He's won an awful lot at Madrid with some key goals along the way but theres plenty of other players in the squad who have been more influential.

    Zidane bossed.the biggest games, played for an incredible France side and possibly the best ever Juventus side.

    I only have one 'goat' and it's Messi tbf.

    I'm not even serious with the Bale/Zidane stuff. I mean, how much of Zidane did people actually see on a regular basis? It's not like football was overloaded on TV then as it is now.

    We were restricted to things like the 2006 World Cup quarter-final when he put in one of the best individual performances ever.

    OK, so hear me out. Forgetting Bale, purely on Zidane now. Is it not conceivable that because you hear he's a good player then he goes and puts on a performance in one of the few games you do see of him that you suddenly think, yeah, he's a great player. I personally would have the likes of Ronaldinho as miles ahead of him.

    I don't even dislike him but I don't think he was as great as a number of you lot do. Not that that should surprise anyone, I guess.

    The Spurs press people are saying we’re going after Dybala. Prob just to get the Lo Celso fee down, but if that happened....

    The debate was never is Bale better than Zidane, only a monkey would favour the former, it was who achieved more as a player for Real Madrid, which is very much in question.

    How is the Lookman fee so low?

    In the current market the 36 top division appearances Wikipedia tells me has means he must surely be worth at least £100m before you even worry if they're any good.

    Douglas Luiz announced by Villa subject to work permit.

    Super impressed by our business this summer. We've made permanent the key loans, cut the deadwood and replaced 6/7 departing squad players with younger, more talented players. It really feels like there genuinely was a very in-depth plan for this eventuality. Most new players will have spend 2+ weeks, in not 1+ month with the squad. We have young players stepping up too - Davis and O'Hare have looked good pre-season.

    Excited.

    Although there's reports coming from France and Italy that both Inter Milan and Liverpool have also agreed a fee in principle and it'll be up to the player.

    Difficult to sift through the shit on this one, but I wouldn't mind him.

    I know Liverpool could benefit from a bit more DEPTH, but the absolutely last thing they want to be doing is rocking the boat up front. They would be better off getting Rickie Lambert back.

    If it is true I guess you just have to trust Klopp. He’s in that rare breed of manager category that absolutely know what they’re doing.

    People can't not fiddle with things. Alex Ferguson signed Berbatoss to give the best team in Europe a 'different dimension', and it just ushered Carlos Tevez out the door.

    £70m for DEPTH is a bit mental, I think they'd be better spaffing that on Bruno Fernandes.

    Especially when they're going to sign Mbappe next summer anyway.

    A depth signing should be someone like this Pepe character this time last year - ie a prospect, not someone you break the bank for.

    Someone like that Fraser geezer from Bournemouth.

    We just seem to be getting our depth from discarded youth players. Also Sports Direct are facing a £605m unpaid tax bill.

    Would be a nice time for a takeover, wouldn't it?

    I've seen £1m a week and £19m (€22m) a year which is not making sense so we should just split it.

    Anyone thinking Klopp has anything to do with the transfers in an idiot. Like Brendan Rodgers thought Firmino was an excellent false nine. It's all statistics.
