Football is a game and not life and death, but perhaps Bill Shankly's famous take is still very much alive....though I think he meant it tongue in cheek as one of his lesser known quotes goes like this. 'Pressure is working down the pit. Pressure is having no work at all. Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week. Pressure is not the European Cup or the Championship or the Cup Final. That’s the reward.' Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Jul 2022 7.54am)

Quite. Dazza is either in the know, has a very tentative source, or is cobbling stuff together from Newsnow feeds. Or a mixture of the above. I could not care a less. His posts provide nothing if not a digest of rumours so are, at the least, as good as many of the blogs out there. Thus, why twist your knickers over the quality of his info? Take it as what it is and please stop ruining his threads.

I think people are forgetting we already have a good squad, if Doucore signs, i would be happy making sure Olise, Eze, Guehi, Andersen and Mitchell have watertight contracts they are happy with, Plange maybe a good forward, Mateta is acceptable, hopefully Edouard will improve, the young CD from Petebough and O`Brien would be good purchases, moderately priced, and maybe a RB loan Quite right and the bonus of still having Benteke to lead the line.

Sums it up. A bloke gives his insight into transfers making it clear that it is just second hand information and he gets slated and insulted for his trouble. Relax people. I'm just glad that we actually have some money to spend.

Back to transfer matters, the latest news is Roma are interested in Zaha [Link] If their interest is serious this could be a test of how much Wilf wants to play in Europe (albeit Europa not Champions League). No news about a new contract so maybe he/his agent are smoking out possible moves.

I am so humbled by all these kind sentiments whilst appreciating that the spotlight trained on an antediluvian duffer, and a hornet in the pants of some kind souls, deflects the debate away from the far more interesting topic of 'Transfer Updates'.

I think Wilf wants champions league not the europa league cup conference or whatever version it is. Would be surprised if he was lured by that.
