This is spot on. I was actually going to vote reform at the next election as a protest against the big 2 but this shows just how dangerous they are. No thank you @reformparty_uk

🗣️| Via @BayernSpace: From inside Bayern, there is quiet recognition that the Luis Díaz transfer was orchestrated entirely on Liverpool’s terms, with Bayern left to follow along. Richard Hughes controlled the negotiations from start to finish, setting the framework early and never letting go of the upper hand. On Bayern’s side, Jan-Christian Dreesen led the talks but lacked the authority, leverage, or instinct to shape the deal in any meaningful way. Hughes quickly secured clear signals from the Díaz entourage that the player would be open to a move to Saudi Arabia in the near future. Armed with that assurance, Liverpool insisted on a significant sell-on clause that would allow them to benefit substantially from any future transfer. Bayern, facing internal pressure to deliver a name and lacking serious alternatives, accepted the structure as it was presented. It was, in every sense, a deal done on Liverpool’s terms.

Liverpool agree deal for Hugo Ekitike. With @David_Ornstein and @JamesPearceLFC, for @TheAthleticFC. nytimes.com/athletic/65041…

@maxrushden @Seb_Hutch @danbardell Does the pod think that Nicolas Jover's role extends to orchestrating a guard of honour? If so, will Arsenal look to block the likes of Van Dijk and Konate or will they line up somewhere other than halfway?
