By Hitch Go To PostNot sure I'll bother watching our's this year

Maybe the last couple where you can kinda see how the team will shape up but not really. Should really be more invested it this year since we'll need to be in form before the season starts properly, in preperation for the qualifiers

By Laboured Go To PostNot ideal and probably won't happen either but in principle I fail to see how this is worse than Perisic for €50 million.

Love the transfer window.

By Cleff Go To PostBoring transfer window so far.

Need Arsenal to sign Balotelli or something like that.

There is also a strong suggestion £61m Brazilian defender Alex Sandro was not on Conte’s wish list, nor was free transfer keeper Willy Caballero from Manchester City, but both are on their way to Stamford Bridge.

By Laboured Go To PostLook forward to hearing about this one for the next 2 months.

By FootbalIFan Go To PostWill watch

Not expecting much

By Killer7 Go To PostYep, have low expectations.

Judging from that trailer its not going to be much like the Manga/Anime. Hopefully it turns out good.

By LFMartins86 Go To PostAdam Wingard deserves the benefit of the doubt. While Blair Witch could have been better, The Guest and You're Next were quite good.

Doumbia has landed in Lisbon. Should be signing for us tomorrow.
Dost and Doumbia can become quite a deadly partnership.

Liverpool are ready to test the resolve of RB Leipzig by making a club-record bid for Naby Keïta. During discussions, the German club have said that the Guinea midfielder will not be sold this summer, but Liverpool will seek to establish whether that position is final.

They would not be put off by suggestions that Keïta is being valued at £70 million, although the club’s present transfer record is the £36.9 million that was spent on Mohamed Salah, the Roma forward, last week. Jürgen Klopp, the manager, is back at Anfield next week, and only when a firm offer has been submitted can Liverpool gauge if Leipzig’s stance is genuine.
