Great! Here we go again. Not even going to get involved in this one, Fuck that. Good night!

I'm all in. YES!!! FUCK YOU RONALDO. GET IN. HAALAND! HAALAND! HAALAND!

Least we flushed out a few more ITL Twitter accounts with the Ronaldo story.

Ol Grimesey is history now.

How are they waiting on it?

Have we rang up, verbally supplied a bid, and said we'd be firing it over by facsimile to confirm?

If Ronaldo is on the reported 480k per week then I’m glad we dropped out of the race. Trafford are fucking small time, signing a player just so we can’t have him.

Small time fucking wankers and there’s no way they’ll be in for Haaland nor Chelsea for that matter.

I actually think we’ve played a blinder here. Forced the rags to shit themselves and sign Ronaldo for 2 years and walked away from giving Levy the dosh for Kane. Chelsea have got Lukaku so effectively ruling them out of the Haaland race. We’ve done pretty well here in my opinion.

We were trying to replace Aguero, statistically the best overseas player the PL has had. We've had at least one year, probably two, to know he needed replacing. You can't do that in the last four days of a transfer window, those deals will take months to resolve. So we either buy a Danny Ings type to be the long-term backup and probably best choice this season, or we go into the season with only one player anyone would call a striker, and even he wants to play in another position. Worse, we blow the Kane money on some striker who's first name will be FFS by Xmas.

Yet again we win the league, look at a glaring issue with the squad and decide to chance it. Whilst we won it last season, the others have strengthened and a better points total is going to be required. And that's ignoring the issues at left back even before this week's, er, news.

Yes we tried for Kane, but that should have been a pretty simple deal - ring Levy, ask him how much and then you either pay it or you don't. There's no negotiation, he doesn't do it, the best you might manage is some of it on tick. Doesn't make him some master negotiator, as it's not a negotiation, it's a fixed price. Why we therefore spent months staring at the fax machine trying to decide what offer to make rather than laughing at the quoted price and moving on is beyond me.

Andy Carroll's a free agent. KDB will hit his massive head all day long.

@tolmie's hairdoo cough if I’m right..

city go in hard and whack £150m on Levy’s table. We know he’ll accept and we KNOW Kane wants to join. I still think there’s a twist left in this one.

Am I close?

I’d love it if that was true but it’d be an extreme heel turn after his tweet!
