Hang on tbf the comparison was about how Liverpool got everything done early when in actuality the deals for Guehi and Isak have dragged on longer than anything we've done/are doing.

Isak has dragged on because it's an absolute mega deal for arguably the best CF in the planet and a deal which is going to be worth 120m+..

They've signed a whole bunch of brilliant players already so in those circumstances of course they can accept a deal for Guehi dragging on, lol.

THIRTY MILLION EURO.....

It's insane how they do this, I've never even heard of this guy and we won't get an offer even near that for Bissouma

And from a skint Spanish club too, mental.

Veiga's only just turned 22, different kind of asset to Bissouma, but still.

It’s so unbelievable that I actually don’t believe it.

There’s no way these deals are normal football transfers. This is what money laundering looks like

Liverpool is getting these kinds of results too, FWIW.

That does not seem to be the consensus regarding his loan spell at Juventus, which will mean a lot to a La Liga team.

Left footed defender, just turned 22, broken into the Portugal team, Villareal will be thinking they have a chance to net a big profit here, but of course there's fucking Chelsea with the big sell-on percentage even though they are ALSO getting the big profit on the up front fee.

And the other piece of this deal which would fail if it were Spurs, Veiga happily signing on the dotted line to leave his elite London Champions League club for fucking Villareal.

Liverpool won the title last season, we finished 17th.

Our squad is in much, much worse shape than theirs and out of all of the “top 6” clubs we probably required the most surgery (moreso than United because we have UCL football which I imagine we don’t want to end in January).

Our squad depth is abhorrent.

For fucks sake, use language with some care.

Gaza and Sudan are "abhorrent", poverty and child abuse are "abhorrent", as are many, many other things.

I doubt our squad depth makes the top hundred thousand.

Looks like an athletic player who will over perform in less athletic leagues to me.

Swear they signed him as a LB/LWB? And because he’s not that great with the ball, he’s been moved to CB

I know you're joking but they still defo need another striker and CB and it's taking time, like our need for Eze and wing forward etc

transfers take time, that's the whole point.

No they don’t , the odd deal when a club with muscle does not want to sell might. So Liverpool can’t bully the Saudi Government , not exactly a shock . It would be impossible for Sunderland to have a staring 11 with 8 new players if deals were so difficult . Marinakis buys and sells players like I change my socks . Chelsea do countless deals every window , how do they find the time .

At the end of this window look at how many deals in and out have been done by the 20 Prem clubs and then defend they are so complicated line . It’s just not true , difficult people make negotiations difficult. Of course there will be the odd deal that gets drawn out . Burnley have done about 25 in and out this window on a skeleton staff and counting every penny one would imagine .

Come on mate, just concede this one. People have every right to be frustrated by the clubs efforts so far this summer

Oh I'm frustrated! I want Eze plus one in before window end, Ideally done yesterday. There's just so much mad stuff going on and I understand that we're trying to take Palace's best player and it can take time. Obv if it doesn't happen I'd be fuming.

it's doesn't mean I'm gonna agree with stuff like "Levy purposely seeks out deals he knows that he can't get done cause he loves wasting his own time" etc
