Premier League 22-23

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Liverpool way off the pace.

[Tom]

Goes without saying it’s stupidly early but Liverpool 4 points behind City already isn’t ideal for them especially with 2 games they’d have expected to walk through

It reminded me of their 2020. Injuries, loads of pressure yet no clear chances, concede on the break, Nat Phillips playing. They were miles better after Nunez got sent off. 

Joe Gomez looked very good when he came on. I've always rated him. He would have played for England in World Cup 2018 but got injured. He has a chance to play for the next few weeks, I hope that he grabs it.

I agree. It's not outlandish to say that Liverpool may have to beat City twice if they want to win the league.

They will regret selling Sadio Mane.

Perhaps the craziest fee of the summer yet...Forest signing Gibbs-White in a deal which could eventually reach 44.5 million.

Yes, the decimal point is in the correct spot.

I read the Forest owner is a shipping magnate with a shady past. I can't remember exactly what he is accused of doing in Greece, but 10 witnesses relating to his case seem to have died, possibly murdered.

Absolute insanity.

I hope they go down.

There have been some ridiculous fees over the last few years, but that has to be the maddest I can remember.

Bring back the days where Zidane was the most expensive player in the world for almost a decade at £46m.

I did not know about all this.

Sounds like he's one of the most dangerous and powerful gangsters in Europe...allegedly. 

Fit and proper person surely in no doubt. 🤔

It's stories like this that leave me with little sympathy for those crying foul over Newcastle and SA.

Football is rife with shady characters and organisations, some that inflict untold misery on populations.

If we're going to call out one, we need to call them all out.

Not just pick the one that is richest or looks like being most successful. Sour grapes tends to undermine a moral crusade imo.

It would fall into second place if Chelsea sign Gordon for the money quoted.

Was this story not posted a few days ago or am I having deja vu?

No idea, if it was I missed it.

If it was in the transfer thread, blink and you've missed about 10 pages.

you can get a top class midfielder from the continent for half that,absolutely mental fee,is cooper really in charge of recruitement???

[Waggy76]

Gibbs White gone to Forest for a possible £44m , a guy who was on loan to Sheff Utd last season , I think ..,

The football world as gone stark raving mad ....

I wonder how much Simon Garner and Scott Sellars would be worth today ???

[Mattyblue]

Just the £150 million spent by Forest on transfer fees (and then think of the wages)

Best stay up…

[Norbert Rassragr]

Could all these transfers be a form of money laundering I wonder? How much say does Colin Cooper have in all of this? 

It's all evidence that football is really corrupt and any dodgy person can use the Great British Washing Machine.

If it money laundering they must have a different washing machine to the one the chicken chokers have.

Modric and Kroos to McFred. I guess that we'll find out how good he is.

He’s a good player who’ll put himself about. How long that will happen for is another story when nobody else is getting stuck in.

Yes. Didn't Colin play for Forest in the mid 90s?

Either way, it's good to see such clean, non corrupt and innocent people own our heritage.

I hope the English club wins today against the Portuguese club.  Its 0-0 so far

English club that includes a Frenchman, a Colombian, a Welshman, a Korean, a Swede, a Croatian, a Brazilian, a Uruguyan and a Dane in the line up?

A bit different. It's expected that clubs have numerous nationalities.  Wolves have 11 Portuguese players and 2 English players.  They're buying from the Portuguese Market.  Something wrong with that
