Harry Kane to Newcastle if Pinocchio takes over as Newcastle manager. Kane is a funny one, late bloomer, 28 next year, hasn't won a thing and injury prone, and stupidly signed a 6 year contract. Le Tissier 2.0.
Maybe United would pay the 200m to have him for a few games here and there, he's trapped at Spurs, can't see Liverpool going for him at that age and under such a heavy contract.

Couldn’t see him working in our system tbh

He scores goals and sheds loads of them he'd be fine in our system,

I think Kane is a far better player than people give him credit for,

Lol you received a warning for this post.


Agree with the above Kane wouldn't fit our system, he doesn't work nearly hard enough to enable Salah/Mane to get the space in behind. I'd much prefer Werner who is cheaper, younger, versatile, and overall offers a lot more to the team

Who the **** issued that card? Is Pinocchio now a term of abuse?

I'm lost. Who is the Pinocchio that Toby refered to. And who got upset about it ?

Google helps....Poch. I thought he was waiting on Utd job

It was meant to be Pochettino, there has always been cards for things like that

Toby's entire schtick is going to get him permbanned.

That's the problem with these new phones and their auto correct features. Lesson learned Toby proof read what you write.

Are we even allowed to call Phil Thompson pinnochio? I thought it was a term of endearment? I read the post a couple of times and was wondering what the obvious card was.

It's a football forum lads there's going to be tons of slagging. Just don't get personal!

We've all Derek Originaled I'm sure and posted about Alberto Moron...oh wait!

I’ve never understood these cards. I seriously doubt Poch reads boards.ie. If it was personal against a particular subscriber and was intent on starting a flame war, then I could understand.

Poch doesn't actually have a big nose!! Anyway, moving on

Project Restart phase 2 vote is unanimous. Contact training to be resumed. Getting closer....

Some very sensitive souls around these parts! Great news about the return of contact training, not long now lads

Just looking at this and I wonder is it coincidence that Alisson is training with all CBs in his group, or is it a planned way to get them working together? It looked like Salah & Mane were training together yesterday too but I haven't looked into it past that.

https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1265616030736322560?s=19

It's the last day of it anyways as the team will be allowed to train together as a whole after the PL vote today.

The only cards I've ever gotten in here are for reference to similar type insults, I called someone "fat whatever his first name is" and got sent to the gulag, I also referred to someone as old "alcoholic beverage" nose and got one for that also...

Some poor petals on here....

~Rebel~

Honestly, I totally understand that rule. If you’re not going to use this ‘all or nothing’ approach, then where’s the line? What’s only a bit offensive, and what’s genuinely offensive? And that line is different for everyone, so now you have debates, where everyone feels like they’re right, and no matter what the resolution is, someone feels slighted. Meanwhile if you just say ‘no abuse’, it clears all that up, and is pretty easy to stick to. No real downside to be honest - you don’t get to call someone fat, or allude to them being alcoholics, surely we can live with that?

Feel for Toby though, whose schtick is actually entirely inoffensive, just doing a random soundalike with the same first letter for people. But I guess mods can’t know everyone, and everyone’s posting style, so from the outside it might seem like it could have more of a personal connection to Poch than it actually does.

Overall though, the more removed this place is from some cesspool of ‘banter’ like blue moon, the better IMO.

Sorry lads I read the post about 5 times and each time read it as Pochettino. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what was wrong with it!

Honestly seeing someone get booked for daring to come close to Harry Kane is really making me feel like the Premier League is on its way back.

Agent Coulson

That Grujic lad looks a player.

Let the haggling begin.

Liverpool want to pay less than £30m, Leipzig still want their £50m.

https://twitter.com/MaddockMirror/status/1265721776778162185?s=19

Agent Coulson

They will settle on £40m and a player in trade as well.

ricero

Seems like we are playing a risky game by throwing away a potential bargain.

The only thing is with the player power of Werner he can push for a move. Just hope we are not back to penny pinching or we wont stay on top for too long. Squad needs a bit of a freshing up.

Maddock has a woeful record with these things. As the comments below his tweet highlight. If Pearce or Joyce say it I'll be concerned.

Don't think so in this case. I think clubs are genuinely ****ting themselves as to how the transfer market will be affected by shutdown. No-one wants to buy an asset just before it's about to be devalued. Club are right to sit tight on this one for now even if I'd love us to sign him.

The definition of bargain has changed utterly, I think. Would have been a decent price for him before lockdown but it's a different financial world now.

.G.

Give him a 5 year deal and pay them 10m a year over the course of it, we can manage that surely. Think this window, if it even opens at all, will be cat and mouse even more so than usual, no one will be quick out of the blocks as everyone tries to suss each other out.

Time to turn on the ol’ Michael Edwards charm

Agent Coulson

I don't think anyone will know anything till this season is finished and when the following season will start but deals for players will be done.


If they can finish out this season and then have a start date for next season teams will then be able to build towards that and they will at least know next season will happen even if it is behind closed doors.


The issue with Champions League money and football will international travel right now if you enter another country you may have to go into 14-day travel quarantine so how will that work for one off Champions League game nights.

I've gone through a wave of emotions reading the last page or so and on balance am happy I deleted my original post.

If that is anything close to true, why would leipzig let a player leave? Obviously transfers will be different in the next couple of years at least, but they aren't going to be the first team to let someone leave for half of his pre-pandemic value.

Minamino has a new song. It's very catchy. They should play all the Liverpool chants and songs over the loudspeakers in Anfield whenever we get back to playing, especially as it will be behind closed doors.

Or have Jamie Webster do a live set from the Kop during the game

if that beverage is one associated with Scotland and Ireland, I too have got a card for that

Think maybe 40m may turn out to be fair.

The sun is shining, the ball is on the way back along with number 19 and the null and voiders are in the bin. Beautiful.

The null and void agenda boys will be quiet tonight :D:D

Certainly running out of straws to clutch, my personal fav was the precedent being set 80 years ago when a season was voided after 3 games due to world war 2.

Hopefully all goes well next few weeks.

Didnt think we would possibly be winning the title in July last August.

List is so weird. Barca who have a lot of issues financially and have an aging equad have moved up the list?
Arsenal then, their owner has borrowed over 900 million dollars to pay for a stadium in America which isn't good news for them considering they need a total facelift of that squad already of a squad way off being a regular in the Champions League

Nearly here lads!
