I know I’m old because I can remember a time when Ricky Gervais was funny.

Crystal Palace. Guinness. Glasgow Celtic. In that order.
Salthouse gave us an absolute dud in Johnson. So to entrust him with rectifying that, by shifting another of his players onto us is madness to me. Him & his company have far too much say in our club & the agreement seems to benefit him more than it does us. #cpfc
Salthouse trying to offload one of his shithouses he gave us, & give us another shithouse on his books in return.
A fit Tomiyasu is a great signing. On a free, it’s a no brainer. Good, sensible business. #cpfc
Independent financial football ‘experts’ on Twitter saying we have a fair bit of headroom re SCR, but people with connections to the club saying we have minimal funds due to SCR…who to believe 🤔 #cpfc
If we're considering someone like Solly March in order to hit a home grown/locally trained quota for the Europa League, then I'd much rather we just went & offered a decent contract to Wilf to come back & just be a legend on the bench for a season. Appreciate Sage may feel differently though. #cpfc
That Solly March link has me even more worried about our recruitment. & to put that into perspective, I thought Hobbs was more of a fraud than the guy who ran Fyre Festival. I would give anything to have Dougie back looking after us again. #cpfc
Basically we sold Eze for £65mil + Tomiyasu. Great work all round guys. #cpfc
If the Disasi rumours are true, then I’m completely underwhelmed. Our recruitment at the moment feels like it has gone backwards 10 years.
I’m surprised Celtic aren’t in for Devenny. Scottish lad (albeit plays for Northern Ireland) & a Celtic fan - I’d imagine he’d crawl up there for a chance to play for the Hoops. & if Engels goes, he’d have a shout in centre mid & should be well within Celtic’s budget. Missed opportunity for both IMO
Disasi on loan & a £12m amateur/or injury prone freebie after £70m of sales for Lacroix & Guehi would stink. It would be like old times where we seemingly kicked the can down the road. I hope the above doesn’t happen & is worst case scenario. Completely unfair on Sage too. #cpfc
Also, I’ll never understand the selling before we buy approach. Going to a negotiating table with the other party knowing we have £xx million sat in our pocket. Then playing silly buggers & dragging it out for weeks. We obviously do not trust our ability to sell & it shows in so many ways. #cpfc
L.i.am@gilesyl14.bsky.social · 2w agoNow get a fucking Lacroix replacement in. & do it quickly. Expecting Sage to work miracles with no Lacroix & a defence which hasn’t yet brought in a proper Guehi replacement/understudy is not fair & sets him off at a massive disadvantage. Leaving this until the end of the window would be madness.

I’d imagine things just got a bit tougher for Sage with Howe now available. If Pierre doesn’t have a good start, the pressure will be on & Parish might fancy the guy who’s rejected him multiple times before.
At what point can we start to talk about the output of the academy? Or should I say lack of. #cpfc
Doucoure should be going out on loan this season if we’re being totally honest. He’s been out for so long, he needs to go down a level & prove himself fitness wise. After that length of time out, it’d be a miracle if he’s anywhere close to being ready to contribute at Premier League level. #cpfc
Sage has made a fantastic & resounding case to the board regarding our urgent need for more squad depth. He should be applauded. #cpfc
I know deaf people who find Mark Bright’s commentary unbearable. #cpfc
I mean, I assume this is essentially a Clyne replacement...which would be a big upgrade. I seem to remember his wages were unbelievably modest at Arsenal. That would be really good business. However...if he's a supposed direct replacement for Lacroix, I'd be very concerned. #cpfc
Gunnerblog@gunnerblog.bsky.social · 2w ago🚨 Excl: Takehiro Tomiyasu is training w/ Crystal Palace, with a transfer possible. 27-yr-old Japan int'l is free agent after Ajax. Interest from Italy & Eng, keen to return to PL. #CPFC provide high level training as he weighs options. @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/747...
Burnham might turn out to be like all the others, but I like the fact he’s started off by trying stuff outside the box & making an effort to make changes. It also helps that he seems like a half decent human being, rather than a completely out of touch stuck up twat or a RoboChode.
Selling Imray for £5m is good business, despite what Palace twitter is saying. Hopefully we’ve got a buy back clause too in case he does prove himself to be up to Prem standard. #cpfc
I’ll whisper it quietly, but I’m a little concerned about next season.
