On top of FFP and VAR we now have the new extra time rules.

When VAR and FFP were first introduced, they sounded great.

VAR would stop all the dodgy decisions the bigger teams got and would correct it. In reality, more often than not, it’s used to find a reason to give the advantage to the big team. 

FFP would stop the Man City’s, Chelsea's etc. spending whatever they want. Whereas it's just a way of preventing the smaller clubs spending, making it difficult to close the gap on them.

IMHO the new extra time rules will surely be used to manipulate games in similar fashions.

12 minutes extra time when leading against a ‘top’ team or 4 minutes if you’re a goal down. Coming to a ground near you soon.

Lol... Caicedo has flipped again and told Brighton he only wants to join Chelsea now, after they'd agreed everything with Liverpool

According to Romano

 

That leaves Liverpool still looking for a midfielder though.

I agree with thabucks, it won't be long before the media start putting Boubaca and/or Dougie forward (Collymore already suggested Bouba for them)  and they do like to take a player of us ☹

Where has the £8m loan fee come from?  A couple of hours ago it was £3m loan fee!

After the Buendia injury was confirmed and before it was confirmed.

I'd be perfectly happy if our business was done already. I mentioned months ago that we didn't need loads of signings, just a couple of real quality that can push this squad on and we've done that imo. 

Depending how you feel about Archer you could argue a backup striker could be needed but personally I'm good with Archer as backup, think he'll be fine, and still have Duran. 

Great summer for us.

I pretty much with this, been a fantastic window for us so far. Wouldn't mind us getting another striking option.

I'm more concerned about keeping hold of some of our better players at this point. We want teams to come in for Davis, Sanson etc. When in reality there more likely to come in for Dougie, Konsa, Watkins.

If we can keep hold of those type of players then I will be very happy with the transfer window.

Especially if we can get a back up keeper, right back and striker

Sky sports reporting two unnamed prem clubs are after Kasper Schmeichel.

Sounds like one is Forest. Would any one take him over Olsen.

Reports saying he's none to popular with his teammates at Nice.

Why don't Al-Nassr just admit defeat on this one and go for Harvey Barnes instead

Jhon Jader Durán will report to work with Aston Villa on August 1st.

His environment denies ongoing negotiations with Espanyol and with any other team for a loan.

Not sure what the environment bit means.

That may he the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen a Premier League club do. That's many, many levels of shitness isn't it.

Just a bit of fun

Although when I saw it, I did wonder what the hardest sell to the player was. Getting him to agree to the video or to go to Burnley in the first place.

We could of done something like this.

Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Laa-laa, Pau

Wtf Collymore, thought he's meant to villa fan.

Collymore urges Liverpool to consider ‘exceptional’ 23y/o as a potentially ‘excellent acquisition’ https://www.empireofthekop.com/2023/07/18/collymore-liverpool-transfer-plea-kamara/

Stan Collymore has urged Liverpool to consider Aston Villa midfielder Boubacar Kamara as a possible replacement for Fabinho this summer.

I hope he's already signed the dotted line before he sees Birmingham. 

Just need to fold the top of the paper over where it says contract. Tell him it's the landing card. Name here and sign there. Bingo
