I actually think Felix for Griezmann, if they can find a way to do it, probably works well for both parties. Felix has been good but not what they needed him to be. Heād arguably do better at Barca and has more the players around him he looks like he needs to thrive. Griezmann no matter how well he does at barca will now never be considered good enough because the bar is just way too high (something he contributed to himself). He probably needs a change of scenery,

Have any of the reliable journos been told to stand down? Normally the club has been pretty up front if weāre not going to be doing any last minute business.
Perhaps Iām just clutching at straws but surely the club wouldnāt be this tone deaf?
Then I remember all those times it has beenā¦

Which is fine. I can understand that belief and agree to a certain extent but why not say that we wonāt be doing any business, as we normally do? Manage fans expectations.

think itās pretty fair to say that message has been conveyed many timesā¦ If the right player comes along, then theyāll make a move. But they wonāt buy a player just for the sake of it.
Mbappe is not going to Real. I think thatās fairly clear now, otherwise PSG would have jumped at the 150Mil or whatever their offer was instead of a Bosman in 4 months.

Could have had a deal in place to bring in a youngster if Origi left (as an example) Why say thereās no more business to do when something crazy can always happen? We know the club now play with their cards in a lead lined safe rather than waving them about the table like a drunk.

They have been for a couple of days. Problem is, everyone thinks they only report what the club tell them and that by saying we arenāt signing anyone its actually all part of our attempts to keep deals quiet. So by reporting that it must mean weāre definitely going to be signing someone.
That or they ran out of words reporting on all todayās contract extensions that were only done today to distract people from transfers we werenāt making.
Either way, Iād say theyāre probably the people most pleased the window is over.
Would anyone have taken CR for the deal United got? I would, god Iām a whore. Very Gary Mc esq.

But Klopp wasnāt anywhere near as categorical in downplaying the likelihood of doing any further business as he has been previously. Made it fairly clear, imo, that we were working on bringing more players in, just couldnāt (/didnāt want to) give any indication of his degree of confidence in being able to do so.

I think heās been pretty clear since the start of pre season that he wasnāt expecting to do much business after Konate and he was pretty happy with the squad.
Thereās always a hint of ānever say neverā towards the end because there is always going to be a chance an opportunity presents itself or someone leaves that needs replacing. But, from early on Klopp has been pretty defiant that he didnāt see the need or expect large scale business.

Not really. Money has no meaning to them or City.

Iāve obviously taken a different impression away with me then although itās fair to say that I definitely havenāt seen all of his pressers.
