A few weeks back I noticed Trix posted a spelling mistake which stood out to me. Having checked back now I have found the spelling mistake:

If you were Bremer would you rather go to cash strapped Inter, or just taken over and pretty flush AC if the package was the same?

I'm not posting this to bring on discussion of which is the better choice btw(so lets not go there), but if our buying Bastoni rests on them getting Bremer for the price quoted it could be pivotal that this happens very quickly to Inter before AC really push their case. I've posted elsewhere(not from new info mind, and I don't have any up to date information) that I still think this one has a good chance of happening. Still wouldn't be surprised if it's Torres we end up with though, because of how Inter opperate.


I have checked and Trix has previously correct spelt operate 13 or more times, with this being the only occasion he's used this incorrect spelling.

I have no idea what this could mean, if it was in fact intentional. Also, it could have been a completely unintentional mistake. If so, apologies Trix!
So why use 2 p's?

Holy sh!t snacks, you lot need a hobby to keep you occupied on a Saturday morning when there's no footy on!

Eagerly anticipating some concrete ITK to get this badger back on track...

So again we'll played Sherlock. :rolleyes:
Slightly pedantic but is this a Liverpool version of the phrase or spelling error?

My ignorant American brain is really struggling with not reading this in Jamie Carragher’s voice… weeeeeeee’ll played Sherlock… Or is it actually a cryptic and we are getting Mane?

Stupid cryptics. Just say who it is or don’t waste people’s time with this crap.
Please reassure us that you're staying on SC and aren't going to allow your dissatisfaction to deny us the delicious ambrosia that is your presence.

Go on. Be a trooper :D

You're right a totally bizarre phrase, perhaps have a look back and see why I used it because there was a reason? That reason was I was directly quoting the poster I was replying to.

Initially I thought you were talking utter bullshit Steve O but perhaps you’re right after all given that Trix is obviously toying with us now by slipping in an obvious grammatical error!!

Just read A&C's reprimand in the Ticker thread and I most humbly apologise for my fat finger/thumb. I would never knowingly click on that icon. Really sorry to all who I've offended . ☹️
Thanks for the reminder. I had been in the habit of cleaning up my ratings periodically, but apparently I hadn't done it since March. And yet nobody's complained, even though there were around 50 that I took down. My apologies.

Problem is when I'm on my ipad or phone, I scroll with my right thumb, which is right over where the negative ratings are. If I were left handed everybody would get "likes".

What is intriguing is WLBs "juicy striker" info and the links to Osimhen and Martinez.

We've also been linked strongly to Richarlison, Antony and Raphinha.

Richarlison can play across the top and the CF role but I wouldn't really class him on the "juicy striker" mould like Osimhen and Martinez as he's more functional and effective.

Raphinha and Antony simply aren't strikers and are limited as to where they play.

So rather than spend 60m on a LCB, have we changed tack and are looking to bring in another WF and CF? Or are we looking primarily at a top CF and if that can't be done we go for Antony/Raphinha and look for a cheap striker.

Looks like it's a case of moving certain pieces and then that dictates our next move.

Hercules said also that a striker could come out from nowhere too

We've been linked to Osimhen, Martinez, Richarlison, Raphinha etc etc etc. Judging by that, whoever we get is going to be fine.

If so, Trix's cryptic must have been his comment "transfer biz is easy peasy' = lemon squeezy. There's a type of Lemon called Interdonato, so we must be into Donato. Only problem is, he retired in the early 2000s.
