@jamesbenge Total financial doping for PSG. They sell a player with a year left for £300m when he's not worth that much. PSG are freed of their FFP issues. Mbappe leaves are a year to Madrid and will soak up the losses. It's just wrong.

@Teradeportes Caicedo is alienating Liverpool for a move to Chelsea that might not happen. It's his agent talking. If he is not sure about Liverpool and Klopp, then he isn't a Liverpool player. Liverpool should withdraw their offer.

@LFCTransferRoom Huge difference between a ball being struck and going 'through' the attacking player who is offside. The ball went nowhere near Mo and the goalie could clearly see the ball being struck. Totally different to City's goals yesterday.

@RousingTheKop These threads always turn into a slagfest on Owen. Both were brilliant. Owen ravaged by injury, Robbie a more natural finisher but with far less pace. Different attributes. I'm glad we were blessed with both.

@TheKopHQ For a team that "doesn't sign players for the sake of it", it sure looks like we signed players without doing our homework. Which is just as bad. Our team doesn't do regular signings, so we console ourselves that each player is well researched and fit our model. What's changed?

@sball7442 @premnsikka Morrisons stores actually made a 750m profit. The losses are the result of £5bn extra debt put on the business which the Private Equity takeover put on the company. In effect the company is paying for its own takeover because the backers of the private equity want their dividend.

@WilcoFtbl They need to sign the main kit first, and then see if there are funds for a 2nd or even 3rd kit. As yet terms have not been agreed with any kit. The club are content to use skins if necessary. Jumpers for goalposts are also an option. FSG will not extend to Cashmere however.
