There needs to be higher scrutiny of such high profile accident. This was my criticism of Reyes incident as well.
Even in that case, it was not just Reyes who died but another passenger with him.

That road is apparently an accident black spot due to numerous pot-holes and a generally badly-kept road surface. It doesn’t take away from the tragic outcome. Even if they were the authors of their own misfortune.

I’ve had slow cars all my life because I’m a painfully cautious driver and very dull.

The police already clarified that this area of the road wasn’t a ā€˜black spot’.

It sounds more like the tyres were the issue.

I was reading that the locals feel differently about the A52 while I was in Spain, it can take a very small bump to shred a tyre at high speeds. Though the chain of causation still goes back to them speeding.

One of the more memorable fatal claims I dealt with back in my motor insurance days was a speeding driver of a BMW M5 who got distracted by a wasp inside the car at 130mph on the M11. His passenger was beheaded by a wooden post that came through the windscreen. The driver was insistent that the accident wasn’t his fault. We didn’t take the wasp to court.

Complete agreement here as like you i like my cars with fire under the hood, and with cars like this you need advanced driving lessons. My concern here though is that when driving a car such as a Lamborghini the tyres need to be in complete top condition especially if you’re going on a long journey as the brothers were.
Also knowing Spanish roads the edge of the fast lane dips downward towards a stoney edge and a Lambo being a wide car with wide rears it’s gonna be easy to pick up a puncture at high speed.

On a separate note I’m surprised but thankful that there aren’t more car accidents concerning top footballers as I’m sure the majority of them own a powerful car.

Ornstein confirms their interest in Isak and that a striker is their main priority. I imagine they’ll shift Nunez for Ā£60m + and then fund Newcastle’s signing for Ekitike..

Takes the shine off our striker signing if they manage to pull off Isak as well as resigning Salah and getting Wirtz in.

Hard not to feel like we’re fucked for the title if they bring Isak in after already adding Wirtz.

Obviously things aren’t that simple, and I’m not writing anything off before a ball’s been kicked or the window is even closed, but those two plus other sognings they’ve made make them a very formidable proposition after walking the league last season.

Until Isak and Wirtz are injured in the first couple weeks and Salah’s decline begins :smiley:

They were pretty lucky with injuries last season and are due some this season

That’s why it is important that we don’t mess up with our LW signing.

Adding a high quality LW to Gyokeres, Saka in our frontline will give us the ammunition to compete with Liverpool & City regardless of who they get.

Still not convinced an Isak deal is realistic for anyone. Newcastle would be silly not to ask for at least 120m considering the market and his age. That’s being conservative too. I imagine Isak would have been on everyone’s list.

Plus aren’t Liverpool the paupers of world football fighting a valiant fight against all the nasty, evil big spenders?

Isak isnt Ronaldo 9

Not that worried

I would be very worried if that were to go through.

No he’s not, but he’s a premier league proven player. Let’s not pretend he’s shit and won’t make a difference to their from line.

He’s very good and would be a good buy for them but I predict Gyorokes to be just as good for us next season

Incredibly bold take
